Drakes
First I just have to say I got yelled at for taking so long to blog. I was told I'm a horrible blogger!
Yay! We wont the SHIP!! The friendship game that is. I didn't expect greatness but I do think our team has the potential. I mean we didn't have two key players this weekend. Michi was playing with her old owls team and Kat was in Washington.
Our first game we played against a team from LA called Who Nu. We totally BLEW-IT! At one point we were up by 15 points and we had a 10 pt lead with 2 minutes to go. Yes, we beat ourselves. The game ended up going into overtime and the weakest plalyer on their team ends up scoring this panicked 3 pointer. SO WEAK!!!! It's okay we'll get them next time.
The second game we played against my old Diablo team. We got killed. They beat us on the 3 and our match ups were horrible. But the thing that pissed me off the most was at the end of the game and I had the ball and one of my old teammates (JENNY, hahah I like her) runs me over and takes out my leg. Totally disjoints my knee. NO CALL! When I went up to the ref after the play he tells me how she knocks the ball out of my hands. I'm sorry NO, my knee F*&^%) HURTS! So when I tell him he goes, "Oh" and walks away. That GOD DAMN F()&*N ASSHOLE!! As my dad would say, " It's okay, people like that are going to die!!!" For some reason whenever I rethink those words it makes me feel a lot better! hahaha...
For the last game there isn't much to say. We killed them by 38. For the weekend I played pretty well. On saturday I was 100% from the freethrow line and 11 for 13 total. Not too shabby. I'm sure sore though. I'm going to need to take a nice HOT bath and get some Ice for the knee... Man I'm getting old.

When are you TOO old to play basketball?!?!
So I am 23 years old and have been playing basketball since I was in the 2nd grade. It's been a long time and my Basketball career has definitely gone through its ups and downs. I still try to play but mainly to prevent myself from becoming a fat piece of lard. Through the years I have had my fair share of injuries. Freshman year of High School I broke my wrist. Pretty much missed that whole school season. Then that summer I cracked my collar bone, so there goes the summer. The next school ball year I played the WHOLE year but then during the spring I tore my acl. So if you calculate it. I had three major injuries in 1.5 years. Junior year, I had knee surgery preventing me from playing the season. From the number of injuries you maybe able to figure out that I was pretty aggressive. I remember I was fearless and ran after almost every ball. By the time Senior year came around I lost that. The competitive drive I used to have was gone and the only time I played was during Asian tournaments.
So this past Monday I went out to play some pick up with my friends. We play at the Cisco Campus and usually just wonder around to a court to find others to play. We found some older men to play 5x5 against. There were a couple of guys who were in their 60s playing. Just the fact that they were still playing made me feel like a wuss. I'm 23 and complaining about how much this or that hurts. So my friend Ray who is 24, , 6'2 and probably like 225 was guarding one of them. Okay, I know as you get older things usually don't work as well. I mean I can tell just from the shape I was in during high school to now. But this didn't happen to this man. Ray was getting ran off the court. I don't know how many times I had to try to run back to pick up his man. I mean he probably can't make hard cuts or do a fancy spin move but he could run up and down the court a couple of times before Ray ran up and down once. hahahaha Okay, maybe that is a slight exaggeration but you get what I'm saying.
Then on Tuesday I had a league game with the girls in San Francisco. We are an all asian team and we played against these big farmer girls. The one I was guarding probably out weighted me by 60 lbs. That is not an exaggeration. At the end of the game I ended up with a bruised chin, bleeding lip and a jammed finger. My first through is.... I'm getting too old for this. But then I have to think of the 60 yr old man that ran Ray and keep it up. If I could run half as well as he does for about half his age I'll be happy.

For all you Zebra players
San Francisco hires Rex Walters as new basketball coach
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—San Francisco lured former NBA player Rex Walters away from Florida Atlantic to take over its struggling basketball program.
Walters, who had a 31-33 record in two seasons for the Owls, was set to be formally introduced at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Walters takes over for Jessie Evans, who was forced to take a leave of absence in the middle of last season and then was fired last month. Eddie Sutton took over the program on an interim basis for the remainder of the season as the Dons finished 10-21 in their third straight losing season.
Walters will be the third new coach in the eight-team West Coast Conference, following Tom Asbury at Pepperdine and Bill Bayno at Loyola Marymount.
Walters inherits a roster led by Dior Lowhorn, who was No. 1 in the WCC in scoring at 20.5 points per game last season.
Walters spent one year as an assistant at Florida Atlantic before taking over the program when Matt Doherty left to coach SMU. The Owls went 15-13 in Walters’ first season, before falling to 16-20 this season. Walters previously spent two years as an assistant at Valparaiso.
Walters was selected 16th overall by New Jersey in the 1993 NBA draft and played seven seasons for the Nets, Philadelphia and Miami. He averaged 4.6 points per game in his career.
How cool is that?!?! I have a feeling a lot more J-leaguer's are going to make it out to the games.
