So check this out I was getting my cardio workout in after like 3 months of sedentary/office type of living with a friend of mine from college.. we were working out in the University Rec Center so a lot of young boys/men in their prime play in their including members of our D1 basketball program.
So I'm dying/gassed and I see my friend getting fustrated.. he's kind of like my little brother as I'm taller/more athletic than him but he's gotten in much better shape than I am so it's like he's doing all the hustle plays...
It's just a little 2 on 2 but the other 2 players regularly play with each other and have been friends since childhood. We are playing to 15 going by 1s and 2s.. best out of three since we called rematch after the first loss was by a point.. after barely winning the 2nd game we are down 10-1 in the third tie-breaking game.. this is like the 3rd consecutive game I've played and it's not looking good. Then for some reason I'm like "hell nah I played JV ball these freshman are not going to take us out that easily!".. I start playing crazy hard defense (why i was even starting on the JV squad to begin with) and my friend is still kinda doing nothing because he's frustrated from the first two games. Then I start hitting all my midrange shots and driving the rim every possession.. personally scoring like 14 of the last 15 points for us going 4/4 from three after not being able to hit the ocean the last two games.. we come back from 10-1 to take it 10-15.. that's what great defense does and I took pride in watching the best during my short tenure as a "student athlete".
So yea ISH.. i was BOSS for maybe 5 minutes today
