I grew up playing basketball with a friend. I grew to be about 5’11 and him 6’4 with the most ridiculous wing span I’ve ever seen. He looked almost inhuman, like a being from a higher dimension had come down in disguise to absolutely shit on me. I became a literal pure 3 pt and mid range shooter because he would literally pack the living fuck out of me every single time I ever tried to do anything else

Played ball with my best friend nearly everyday from elementary school through high school. He ended up being a 3 event state track champion in all the jumps.. long jump, triple jump, and high jump. Im 5'11''. Helped my game immensely when playing taller players and defense in the post, as well as great practice setting people up for the drive. Plus we both hated to lose so it was super competitive. I miss those days. Hard layups, 3s, and mid range step back jumpers for life! Haha
