Whenever I have some free time after a hard day's work teaching English at my high school, I decide to play hoops with the basketball team. Now, the basketball team is not even a team right now. They have only four players: 3 boys and a girl. The hoops teacher is all too happy to have another body there to make things more interesting.
Yesterday was just my second time to join the hoops team for some b-ball, and today we decided to have a little ball game. I and two of the boys were on one team, and the hoops coach, the third boy and the girl were on the other team. I'm proud to say that the game was very competitive, with the coach's team winning a close game, 10 to 9. The highlight of the game for me was when I posted up against the coach, spun around and made a layup. Apparently, the team doesn't learn much about posting up, so you should have seen the looks on the students' faces at that work of art. All of a sudden, rumors are going around the school that I'm a basketball star. One of the students called me Jordan. Hey... I'll take that. That's better than Kevyn Little.
