Quit ya whinin’ sissy and grab them boards! A very “awwwww” story from the New York Times that just made my Sunday.
This side of John McCain, there are still 70 year olds throwing elbows and crashing the glass because … because they just love the game.
As a fellow rec league warrior that’s been playing with the same folks year after year this gave a tear to my eye, and not just because someone threw a ball into my face.
The other week at rec-ball the old timers were playing us young whipper-snappers and damn do they still got the whoopass going. I mean everytime dude post me up he’d do the Dream Shake and get to the rim. Mind you the guy is at least 2 feet taller than me and sweaty as hell… so you know it’s easier to slip by.
But wow, I gotta imagine that’s pretty much what’s it going to be for me in 50 years, balling like I ain’t on back medication son!
