My best game yet

Stop reading this post if you're not into basketball, or is offended by people talking about how good they are. Seriously.

I'm a basketball freak, and I play at UiTM Shah Alam on average 3 times a week. Despite my passion for the sport, I'm definitely a below average player there. I have a really hard time trying to compete with the players there, but I do so anyway because I love the game too much to not play. UiTM Shah Alam's got some wicked Malay ballers, W.I.C.K.E.D, and that's most probably the reason why I love playing there in the first place.

So here's how each day goes. Once there's at least 10 people on the court, we'll play a game of 5 on 5, full-court, 2s and 3s, first one to 21 wins, king stays. Every other game after that is only played til 15, all other rules are maintained. On Monday, 7th May, I had my best game in UiTM yet.

My team played 3 games on that day. We won the first two, lost the 3rd one. In the 2nd game, I was on FIRE(extremely rare). Out of the 15 points my team scored, I had 11 of them. A breakdown of my 11 points? 3 0f 3 from beyond the arc, and the gamewinning jumper. I shot treys like it was automatic, and my gamewinning jumper got off with a guy's hand in my face. Words just can't describe how I felt when I saw the ball went through the net time and time again. My stroke was smooth, rainbows every single time. It was the first time in a LONG time that I screamed out halahala on a basketball court.

The game was great especially taking into account that I'm absolutely terrible on most days, and average on my better days. That day was freaking awesome by my standards. I'm not trying to boast, I'm just trying to share my joy over something that (most probably) happens once every ten years for me. Bear with me.

After losing the 3rd game, I sat near the court and lit up a cig. In Mislan's own words, "Sial ar PG, shoot masuk je". Halahala...

P/S : The Spiderman 3 soundtrack is cool if you're into what American teenagers listen to nowadays. Sort of got the same vibe as the One Tree Hill-Friends with Benefits soundtrack.
