Back on Monday, January 22nd, while I was calculating grades for the end of second quarter, I decided to take a break by hobbling down to our school's gym to shoot around by myself. I cannot run or jump due to my knee injury, so I resorted to shooting only free throws. With my very tender, weak, and pretty useless left knee, I placed most of my weight on my right leg. After shooting a few very successfully, I decided to keep track.
I made 19 of my first 20.
I made 47 of my first 50.
I finished making 95 out of 100.
I lie not.
It was the best I have ever shot in the 25+ years that I have enjoyed playing basketball. I think that I was so successful because of the way I had to balance, but my teaching friend Mark thinks it was because I was wounded and thus forced to concentrate more.
Who knows? Who cares! It was awesome, totally awesome for me.
