No not the aftermath of earthquakes but a basketball team in Wichita
Last night I came upon a pretty good basketball game--not from the past but being played live.
I found it because each night when I go to bed -- very little stamina these days-- I must find something that Yash will watch. There is really only one thing--BASKETBALL.
Usually he settles for whatever I find. Old finals NBA games on the NBA channel or WNBA happening live. Or even old dunk contests. He watches them contentedly.
But sometimes I have chanced on something called BIG 3 Basketball and even Yash draws a line there.
These are teams it seems with only 3 men playing on each side and playing only half court and moving very slowly. These I have learned are retired NBA basketball players who can still lumber around.
But I find it dispiriting I want to remember them in their glory not moving so slow. I want to believe that old NBA champs age better than me.
So finding CBT was a treat. It seems to be a small league of college Alumni and they still move well and have good shots.
The game last night was in Wichita which is the home of the SHOCKERS so AFTERSHOCKS is a pretty clever name for Alums. Some interesting variations--in the fourth quarter they
shut down the clock and they set up a number and announce that the first team to get to that goal is the winner.
More like a pick up game of 21. Also it seems that they will play seven games in the next few days and the winning team gets 2,000,000 dollars. YES TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
Look for the games on ESPN. See what you think.
