I don't know if you've seen this before,
but it bears repeating.

It just goes to show what can happen when
our guys are given a chance.

Enjoy! :-)

1. Yeah! J-Mac rules!
I had a fair outside shot in my day, but nothing like that (besides, that was before the 3-point rule :-) )!

The sad part is, his team made the state playoffs -- but they couldn't use him, because he'd only played in that one game. If it had ever occurred to anyone that he might actually be good, we might be looking at a college hoops star on the order of fellow three-point assassin Gerry McNamara, down the road at Syracuse. Then in a few years I'd be wearing my J-Mac sneakers to work. :-) Sigh... maybe he could go to a junior college?

2. Yes! I could easily see him become a college basketball star.
The team should let him continue to play.

Practice makes " perfect" and all that.--

I'm sure you were a great hoops player too, KamaAina.

:hi:
