Last night the MBA(2, mostly) basketball gang got together at the CCRB and tore up court 1. You could definitely see the disdain from players waiting for games when a collection of oldsters who had the foresight to reserve a court showed up, ripped off tear-away pants, tied up the fanciest sneakers in the gym, and ran for two hours. I played three games, which was rough. I haven't touched a basketball in over a month and that had a suprising effect on what I used to call "my shot" but I'm now forced to refer to only as "slinging the ball away from my right shoulder." Basketball is nice because offense and defense switch constantly and are fairly intertwined, so if you can rebound, dribble, and pass it might be OK if you are pretty much inept at scoring actual points.
