Before I left Tampa for L.A., last September, I was playing basketball religiously. At least 5-6 days a week. I started last June until a few days before I moved. That was my primary source of therapy. It was the only moment of my beard hiatus that made me feel happy and free.
I was hoping to continue balling often in L.A., but I haven't found any serious ball players near by me. Furthermore, I said all that just to introduce my recent basketball reality show audition. Its a Craig's List Hit or Miss however, that wasn't important too me. I got a few good games out of the audition and that was a my gift.

Final Thoughts
These are the same courts they shot "White Men Can't Jump." As you can see its a nice beach. I should of took more pictures. Moreover, I'm not really concerned about my status with this show. My observations tell me its in early stages of development. I'm just happy I got a few good games out of it. When I become more stable I plan to incorporate basketball in my life at least once a week. I love the competition and a chance to break a sweat.
Before I left, I made it clear that my game isn't the prettiest and I can't do any fancy moves but I know how to win. We played two on two and switched teams once. I was the only person to win twice. I didn't even have to score much. I have the hustle and drive that I can apply to anything. Its all mental baby. I know how to win in life period and in this case I won on the basketball courts.
As the quest continues...
