Victory, Oh Sweet Victory

Yesterday was a weird weather day.  In the morning it was pouring rain, but by the time I was out of school at 3 o clock it was sunny as can be.  When I got home I decided that I wanted to go for a jog to be out in the sun or play basketball outside on Alpine's court that they have.  So I call up my dear friend Devon and he said that he would like to play basketball as well.

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!!

I don't know if anyone even cares to hear this story, but I am proud of this moment and what better way to brag about it then online for everyone to see? :)
