Day 250: We were so close… another four point loss due to the worst referee/umpires I have ever seen. We managed to have 20+ fouls paid against us during my cousin Brandon’s debut game with The Falcons. To put this is perspective the other team only managed to draw 5 fouls for both half’s combined. 

It was obvious the referee’s knew the other side, and I am not pointing the finger of anyone in this photo as it from a game last season I have used as there was none taken on Monday. I won’t comment on the decisions that did not go our way but I will tell you all of a funny story at the very end of the game.

I set a screen on some bloke at the end of our game who proceeded to duck his head into me when making contact, thus sending himself sideways past my shoulders and into the court head first. Upon finally getting up after engaging in time-wasting during the last few seconds of the game and shaking hands with me stating “don’t worry about it that is the nature of the sport”.

The next day a team mate of mine overhears the same bloke the next day at his work talking about how I “decked him and there was a massive punch on” and proceeds furthermore to boast about the aftermath of this “fight” to some girl he is with, about how I was apparently put in hospital. I wouldn’t have thought so - but possibly the funniest load of shit I have ever heard in my life!

Well we are discussing basketball, I will attach the link to my team’s Facebook page if anyone would like to follow our progress and very bad attempt at humour relating to how badly we suck haha:

This is my new MacBook’s desktop background. Very cool is it not?

One of the sadder story’s in the modern day game. I do not understand how people are paid so much to play a sport yet somehow managed to bring themselves and their bank balance back down close to bankruptcy.

Being 37 and not being in the game since 2010 makes a comeback appear very unlikely. I remember reading that he was playing indoor soccer overseas at one point to make money. The 20,000 a game we was getting paid at these amateur sporting events was once small change for Iverson, it really is sad to see how someone wastes all that money from a career that spanned almost 20 seasons.

Why would you gamble away all your money if you were making millions for shooting hoops? Sounds like a good way to make a sustainable living out of your large earnings to me!
