We get out there and are just shooting around and talking. Of course Devon is making most of his shots, as for me, not so much. I mean I am not bad at basketball, but I was definitely a little rusty. So after a little bit Devon challenges me to a 3 point contest, loser makes the winner dessert. Why do I agree? I have no idea, I had just lost a bet to him 2 days earlier and already had to make him dessert so I figured, oh well I still have ingredients I can use.
Dev starts out shooting and shoots around the 3 point line. He makes 2 out of the 5 shots. I go next and make one shot, then no more until the very last one. So we tied, you know what that means, sudden death!! So Devon goes around again and doesn't make one shot. I was astonished. So all I have to do is make one shot and I win. First shot, miss. Second shot, miss. Third shot (which just so happened to be my hot spot for the day) made it! WOOO I was the winner. Beating Devon McBee in basketball?? Boom baby.
But wait, it gets better. Devon then suggests to play a game of PIG. I decide to play, but then guess what happens? I beat him again! So he says, best two out of three. I agree and he beats me the second game. By the third game he is nothing and I am PI so if I miss another shot I lose. All of the sudden we are tied, both at PI. It is my turn to choose a spot to shoot from, I jokingly go to the half court line and tell him that I am going to get him out from this shot right here. So of course he walks up like 10 feet in front of the hoop and makes his own for me to make. Mean. Then he says, and I quote: "If you make this, I quit." So guess what I do?? SWOOSH! I didn't just make it, I swooshed it. Nothing but net baby. Does it get any better then that?! I do not think so!! We even had a witness. It was a truly beautiful thing.
Of course Devon still has his shot to see if he can make it. Does he make it? Nope! Then Devon throws out of no where "I still have a donkey shot!" Which is true, but we didn't ever use one for the two games before! Doesn't matter, he still missed. I AM THE CHAMPION!!
I do have to give it to him, he is a good looking loser
Champion forever!!
