OT: Personal Best Moment in your basketball career

[ZombieKevie]

i sucked at basketball when i was in grade school. my dad coached and i wasn't even the 6th man on a team with 10 total players.

anyways my best moment. There was a free throw contest in 7th grade at Marist. i won the preliminary getting like 9 made shots against a teammate during practice. At half time of the game at Marist, i didn't even play the 1st half. I start sinking shot after shot. I was in the zone, made 11 in a row before i missed 3 in row, then made the rest. 17 out of 20 free throws. 2 other kids out of the whole contest got 18. i didn't win but it was my best moment.

This story happened years ago. I think I was about 12 years old.

With the teammates of my basketball club I went to a game of our home team, the Frankfurt Skyliners. And in the first quarter the cheergirls threw two t-shirts into the crowd. The people who caught it could play one of those halftime games like they are in the UC, too.

Yeah you guessed it right, I caught a t-shirt with my face.

So I had to shoot some basketballs into the basket. There were different spots where you had to shoot from. So a made shot from the freethrow line gave you 50 points, a made shot from out of the zone 100 points, etc. The task was to make 1000 points. I thought it is possible to handle because my points and the points of the second person would be added.

I looked around who caught the other shirt ..... and it was a little girl with the age of 4 or 5. Hmm that did not raise my chances.

But it was a good day and I scored 1800 points. The little girl unfortunately 0.

But we made the task so both of us got a coupon with 150€ for German Railways.

I was very happy and to play in front of 5000 people was awsome.

Seeing as I don't play a whole lot of organized ball other than pickup games, my best moment has to be anytime I hit a game winner. Now I don't have too many of those, but I'm pretty sure I have more than my man Kirk does in his NBA career thus far.

I managed to go 2 for 2 in a rec league game. Drilled a 3 on the break and hit a jumper from the wing. I played the most minutes on the team but I was a rebound/defense guy.

In 6th grade I was playing for the traveling bball team that was supported by the local High School (Stevenson Junior Patriots we were called) which I was the smallest guy on the team but my nickname was "The Gnat" because of my ability to annoy the hell out of the opposition with my in-your-jersey defense. Anyway, I was sent in as a defensive replacement in the final 2mins after the starting PG had fouled out. I effectively shut down their hottest scorer at the time (think he went 0-5 or something rest of the game), & in the final 40 seconds with the score tied, I stole the ball from the top of the key, raced to the other end & was fouled while missing a layup. I calmly drilled 2 FT's, my only 2pts of the game, & we held on to win. And the victory kept us in the playoff hunt.

Sophomore year of college, I was on an Intramural Basketball team. We were not good, but luckily, every team got into the playoffs. So, it was the first round, we were against a similarly bad team, in a play-in round, and it was overtime. It was incredibly close and I remember hitting a clutch three in the corner to put us up three. I was so incredibly pumped and I screamed, "COME ON!" Nonetheless, we lost on a buzzer beater.

Pathetic, but still, personally awesome.
