I could never jump , but i could shoot...You have to see/ feel the ball going in....Great feeling when it does....

When i did well in the 8th grade my dad kept his word and built a back board built out of plywood...He drilled a ton of holes and i had my own back board in my back yard on the garage....Double wide yard and we put lights out so you could play at night.....

It was amazing that all thesekids played football/basketball and baseball at the school yard and it was rare that any harsh words were spoken.....You did challenge others for the court but that was fine...

Who remmbers stoop ball and box baseball.......Ya need a sidewalk for box baseball and i was great at that game.....LOL maybe take it national....
