Agreed. You might get socked in the eye. It won't make you a king.

Random flashback. 1963, was a big hit. Pre-teen Boxster remembers this one.
Shot some baskets this winter once. Hadn't done that in years. Seems like the basket was MCUH higher and free-throw line was MUCH further back than I remembered.
Or maybe I am just 70-something. LOL

Took me about 7-10 shots just to make a shot from 3 feet. Mainly shot free throws. Shot a few 3's but have almost zero vertical jump anymore. This was though my first hoop shooting in a couple of years or maybe more. Think last time I shot was pre-covid so maybe more like 3 years.
No that's a basketball court turned into a skateboard ramp. Nevada has 3 parks with decent outdoor hoops. 2 are small parks but have alot of houses by them. I ended up at SCORE which is a big recreational area at the edge of town.
They are building a multi-purpose athletic facility out there right now. Hoping one of the perks with that is from time to time there will be open gym shooting possibilities.
30 years ago we used to go to Harrington to shoot hoops
My mom gives me a lot of grief for not calling or going to see my grandma on my own. She is 96 and largely has no clue who most people are these days. Part of that is understandable, she has four kids and can keep track of them/recognize them but she has 10 grand kids and I believe 25 or so great grand kids. I can’t keep track of them she sure as hell can’t. I will stop in if we are over there and they go as well but I am not making special trips to go on my own.
A contributing factor a bit to me is wondering if the quality of life is worth it just to stay alive for the sake of it. She is in a nursing home, her husband has been gone for nearly 13 years and just sits there all day. In past generations she likely would not have lived this long and that may have been okay.
I had one grandma I never visited. She was the meanest woman I ever knew. If I hadn’t t grown up on a farm, I probably wouldn’t have survived her and is a big part of why I’m skittish around dogs (she made me go outside and her dog would chase me and bite me as a kid, as a kid I found that preferable to dealing with her, even the big bulls that were at her farm). I was scared of her and even as an adult I was terrified. Knowledge of electric fences, barbed wire, barns chutes and machinery probably saved my life from that dog
It was weird when I was out of state I did a pretty good job of stopping and visiting my grandparents, once I moved back my visit rate dropped down but I was super busy and didn't make the time my mistake.
I wish I would have known! The tumbling is always baffling to me. How you can do that and still have control authority/lift is beyond me. Those plane and pilots are amazing.
