I Got No Game.

I'm resigned to the fact that I'm just not good at basketball.  But I'm okay with this.  Sherise can't be good at everything.

Thing is, I pride myself in thinking that I can be good at everything.  Okay, at least above average.  Never, God forbid, the worst.  I quietly laud basketball as one of my favorite hobbies, yet really I 'play' maybe about two times a year...AT MOST. 

So what I'm doing playing for a summer league, I'm not so sure.  I find myself feeling like the weakest link when thrust against fierce city girl ballers, whose intensity I can't match.  And when I play, I play scared.

The other night at our first game of league play I spotted my highschool JV coach who once scared the bejeebers out of me.  The very sight of her made me shiver.  I played all but three minutes that season, and that was only a merciful three minutes since we were ahead and she was playing the bench.  I did manage to score a basket but I don't want to even think of her wrath had I missed.

Basketball--I love this game...or do I? Maybe...a little...when I don't play with people better than me...

Anyone for a pickup game? Haha.
