- Vertical Dunk
So, yes, last week was a sick week, and this week was the end of the open gym. My body healed up nicely, but man, I am still feeling the fatigue. Got the off-the-glass done, even if it was light. Hell, even did it twice, with a cradle, and some proper right-left dunking in the extras.
The plan is to work on my joint muscles, lose weight, boost cardio, and get my strength & quickness up to par. Basically, nothing to do with basketball for a little while. When I find a good 10' outdoor hoop, or figure out a way to regularly share my progress, this will all return. But for now, thanks for the support and I hope you've gotten some enjoyment out of the last 5+ months.

My old college roommate and teammate's family and mine got together today. So while the wives and kids played, we played got some dunks and 1v1 in.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuHtaRvkQZIhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp4dgpMwATANo progress weight wise or anything for me just yet. Waiting for the weather to warm up a bit more, and a few other well timed excuses (wife's birthday, grad school residency, work).

What's with the sunglasses in the shade? Was that court really tiny?
LMAO @ 4:16 of 1on1. EPIC double score at 6:42. He didn't even take the ball out.
You should have pounded him inside to wear him down.

Not sure if Jao's friend has better post moves or is just lighter.
Jao has a better jump shot though.
Jao plays defense like a sieve, can't even bother to raise arms.

chalk the double score to editing down the many missed shots on that quadruple rim
he was a farmer as a child, he does not wear down, I'm serious. He's got stamina that is unbelievable. He regularly played the entire game in college, although he would get breaks during the game due to his sweat dripping making the refs think there was a leak in the roof, lol.
Sunglasses were to be BA

but notice how the sun shines in our faces near the rim, that was why, the sun was opposite the rim, so right in the defender's face. No court btw, just a rim on the side of the parking lot of the high school, which is why I got screwed by my 3s,

Loved that post move that put Jake up 3-2. Very slick.
Mon May 06, 2013 8:08 pm
Haha tough loss in the 1 v 1. Out of interest, what positions did you two play in College?
Mon May 06, 2013 8:37 pm
PF/C
He was a starter though at PF, all-time leading scorer in high school (which has since been bested), and the starting center in college was an all-Vermont player.
I was a role player at best, in high school and college. Jump in, grab boards/shut down big guys, give the starters a break.
Mon May 06, 2013 9:25 pm
Ah yeah nice, i figured forwards due to the height must be forwards

Hope you don't mind but I am going to steal your idea (no dunking yet) and make a bit of a jump height/dunking logbook on here

not at all, cant wait to see it!
Sun Jun 02, 2013 2:02 pm
Good stuff. I may have to contribute some videos soon.
I am 6'1, I weighed in at 230 in January. I am down to 215 now. I used to have some good hops (36 in vert measured in 2003) but I weighed 180.
I am slowly increasing my workouts but I am 32 years old now and I am sore for days after running a few full court games. And I am now awful....like DWade in the Pacer series awful.
Anyways this posts have given me some motivation to get off my ass and see if I can dunk again.

Can't wait to see any vids if you post them, just make sure they are 10' unlike some other people's attempts
I was hoping to do a "hometown" edition from this weekend's trip to my parents house....but I was met with the utter shock of seeing my home court replaced by a mound of dirt as they are renovating the entire park. It will be great to have a new court, and the new playground was great for my daughter, but it sucked that I didn't get to record any basketball while down there (golfed though).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9ev88j9rjMit will be missed.....
I did break out the camera for the birthday party we went to....I couldnt resist.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUM9zB__FeM...then I felt old remembering that it has been 13 years since I first jumped into that same pit in 8th grade.

Seeing you fall back in was funny.
Tue Jun 04, 2013 10:52 am
I'll just chalk this one to the Google (YouTube) and Apple hatred of each other.
Tue Jun 04, 2013 11:29 am
I like how the Wing Stop ad pops up right when you actually fall in the pit the first time, solid timing.
Tue Jun 04, 2013 12:30 pm
In all honesty, was the fall back in at least a little bit intentional?
Tue Jun 04, 2013 12:54 pm
in all and complete honestly, no, no it wasn't. You can see my right foot sink in waaay further than I thought it would.
Now if I 'Bron flopped.....
Tue Jun 04, 2013 3:10 pm
thank god there's no jiggle :Shudder:
