Palming the Ball

Frustration

I am frustrated. I am so close to the rim. I can touch the orange bolts, but the rim feels like an inch away. I like my jump, I feel really springy, but just feel like I am stalling instead of climbing higher. Once I get hold of that rim, I might not let go. I'm getting up there, just wait.

The Orange Bucket

A couple people have asked if I think I will be able to do this. Good question 4 months in. Here is what I am thinking...

If I can't get the rim by the end of December, I don't think I will be able to dunk.

Pick Up BBall's Return

I returned to pick up bball yesterday. My first game back was unbelievable. I've heard that when you are in the zone, the game slows down. And maybe I was just playing against people who happened to be slow, but that is what happened. It was amazing.

...the game quickly sped up as I continued to play. But, for a moment I had it. Somebody should have thrown me an alley-oop.

November Attempt

I am going to start showcasing my hops without the ball as well as the dunk attempt. Oddly, it feels much more natural to jump two feet without the ball. The dunk attempts still feel better off one foot, so I guess I should stick with that.

This month I featured by 180 drive down the lane dish (NBA scouts are looking for play makers). I think the video speaks for itself. As for the dunk, in my November attempt not sure if the second jump counts as a slam. I'll keep trying.

WOW

Shannon Brown, that is ridiculous.
