Improvement
At this week’s Junior Jazz game Patrick showed some signs of progress. Not only did he touch the ball, he took two shots. One rolled off the rim, the other was rejected by a kid on the other team. I think the kid who blocked him stood over him and said ‘Man’s game, bitch!” The things they teach kids these days…
Two highlights from this week’s game: First, you know how there is always one kid who is twice the size of any other kid in the game? Well this kid was playing for the other team. He was huge and he just bowled the other boys over and brutalized them. At one point a kid from our team stole the ball and started down the court on a fast break. The big boy ran with him, reaching in for the steal. Being tired of being pushed around, the kid with the ball gave the bruiser a stiff-arm to the chest that would make any football player proud. The oversized child was on his heels and back pedaled his way to the floor while Patrick’s teammate finished the lay-up. But don’t feel bad for the fat kid. A few minutes later a kid from P’s team put up a shot that clanged off the rim. The big kid wasn’t paying attention and the ball bounced right off his head and into the hands of Patrick’s teammate, who scored on the play. So at least the bruiser gave our team an assist. I love watching ‘herd ball’. It’s highly entertaining…

That's how Alan played back then, and continues to play today. He also likes passing the ball off Chas's face too...
