No I In Team
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.
Peace and Love ✌🏿

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 never really played basketball. I've tried jumping to try and reach hoops and marvel at those who can. Any video out there of you playing?
Sadly none appear to exist. There's one of me playing with my nephew in America, but he was only 6 years old then, so haha.
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!
LOL. Thanks.
Sounds like the start of a book :D
I missed my calling haha
