love for the game
February 21, 2008
Love the game first, and it’ll be good to you.
Last Sunday, before the food poisoning incident, we had an ABL game. What was special about this game was that we were up against the current junior’s finals MVP. I didn’t know the guy was that good last time we played pickup at Ayala heights.
Anyway, this guy (still don’t know his name) just outright dismantled us. Drives, three pointers, rebounds, everything. No one from our side could stop him. (Mind you, our team is made up of former varsity stars. We even have Yong on our side. Yong has won at least 5 MVP awards from in ABL alone..i think). They also had this lightning quick pointguard. I’ve never guarded anyone as fast as that guy. I mean, he just sort of disappears from where he stands, AND he has the ball.
We still almost won the game. We lost by 2 points. Our last shot circled the rim and fell out. It was that close. Oh well.
Yong said it’s been the best game we’ve played in the entire tournament. I kinda thought the basketball gods gave me a birthday gift too. It’s the first time in 2 seasons that I’ve scored in ABL. 2 SEASONS!!!
Exactly a year ago, we won and overtime game with only 7 players, and with both big men out. (Oman got injured, JR fouled out).
I guess the saying is true:
"Love the game first, and it’ll be good to you."
