I took my boys to the college slam dunk contest and it was awesome.
I should start at the beginning. A week ago a groupon popped up advertising the contest and I jumped on it. Unfortunately, this groupon was a dead end. I paid full price anyway. Me and the three wound up in some prime seats at GCU arena. That’s when we met the Havocs. This was Havocs lite. Just one section of crazies straight out of NBA 2k17. I’m not joking. This is the student section during Midnight Madness NBA 2k17. Here are the havocs. Yeah, that actually happened. Happens, actually. They do this every game. I kinda like it. This madness carried on all night and at some point the players got down to the business of competing.
It started with a 3 pt shootout featuring the best college BB has to offer. It came down to a kid from Iowa University and, get this, a kid from GCU. Yeah, the crowd loved it. I loved it. The GCU kid choked and lost. The Iowa kid wound up getting had by a female player who is one of the cleanest shooters I’ve ever seen.
Dunks soon followed. They were spectacular. One dude did a 520 in the air and dunked it. The crowd favorite choked–just like the GCU kid–and though he lost the match to a Hoya, the crowd still loved him up.
Some Thoughts:
- Haters gonna hate and I hope AP proves them wrong. I hope this dude comes back after passing the 30 year old mark and tears this league up. OG’s everywhere would be lit.
- Trump’s Washington remains a shit show that Trump himself is somehow immune to. In other words, he is the new teflon don. Why? Primarily because he doesn’t care. It is that simple.
- Black Insomnia has been crowned as the world’s strongest coffee. Actually, it sounds more like my superhero name. Sign me up.
