No I In Team

in #nostalgia5 years ago

Yo what is up Steemians, @adetorrent here with another... wait, it’s not a video :)

I was in town today finishing off my roll of film and I walked past this basketball court. It brought back so many memories of my uni days when I used to play basketball.

We weren’t bad. We came 3rd once losing to only Oxford and a University of London college I can’t remember.

Oxford was on fire. They had four 3 point specialists on the team that just kept firing threes from downtown. So frustrating.

It was me, one American dude who’s now a movie star in Hollywood, a Jamaican and a whole bunch of Greeks. We were good, flamboyant and almost all of us could dunk. I could do a 360, and catch any kind of ally-oop and turn it into a reverse jam. I was Clyde Drexler. 😂

We wound dribble, dribble, fade, fake layup blah blah, dunk. We were effing cartoon characters. Oxford wound get the ball, fire a long range pass to the unguarded guy at the 3-point line, loads of time, he’d perform a textbook jump shot ...... swish!

They won by 40 points. Hahaha.

It was a good game though. I learnt a lot about how a well organised team of average players can easily crush a bunch of highly talented individuals.

I was tempted to do a run up jump to see if I could still touch the rim. Then I remembered my knee injury and decided against it.

Too bad there is no video this time... I would love to see you doing you all these tricks :) Or... is there?

Hahaha. My knees won’t let me do any of that anymore. Maybe just simple jump shots 😂😂😭😭

I thought some actual footage from that game :) Or just from that era of Ade the Dunker :)

Hahaha that was such a long time ago before mobile phones. I have some photographs of me and the team. Video wasn’t a thing back then, unless maybe someone’s parent brought one of those vhs recorders :)

Come on, you don´t look that old :D

Lol I second that, @adetorrent looks very young.

He does. I thought he is pretty much my age (mid 30s) but when I was a uni student, cell phones were common so obviously, he must be older :D

hahaha . Thanks guys :)
I grew up with dinosaurs :)

Where is ball?😀

Invisible ball bro! I’m moving so fast you can’t see it. ☄️

I don't play basketball or know much about the game but i can tell you have the passion from your copy, it's almost as if i was there watching also. Funny how with all the talents, well organized average team beat y'all lolz. Truly there is no "i" in team!

Sounds like the start of a book :D

I missed my calling haha
