Okay, so I saw this video, you know, the “my names trey and i have a basketball” one, and I was like, “I gotta try that.” I mean, it looked so simple, right? Famous last words.
Getting Started (Seemed Easy Enough…)
First, I grabbed my old basketball from the garage. Thing was dusty as hell, hadn’t seen the light of day in years. Pumped it up – took longer than I expected, my arms were already burning. Note to self: need to work out more.
Then, the real fun began. Or so I thought.
The Actual “Practice” (aka Epic Fail Compilation)
- Attempt 1: Tried the whole smooth intro like Trey. Ended up fumbling the ball, nearly tripped over my own feet. Graceful, I am not.
- Attempt 2: Focused on the bounce, the rhythm. Ball went straight into my face. Good times.
- Attempt 3: Okay, maybe I need some music. Put on some hype tracks. Still sucked. The ball has a mind of its own, I swear.
- Attempt 20?: Lost Count, many fail attempts.
I tried this, then I try that. The whole time I’m thinking, “Am I doing this right? Is my posture off?” Look, you all saw the fail compilation, so the answer is apparently no. The basketball is not the real thing.
Finally
I filmed the whole thing, and you can see, it wasn’t pretty. But hey, at least it’s good for a laugh, right? Maybe I’ll stick to things I’m actually good at.
