Why Me?

September 1996 was the beginning of the end.  That’s how I look back at it.  This was when my ninth grade AAU basketball season began .We were known as Lakota-3, because there were also a Lakota-1 and a Lakota-2 teams playing AAU ball from Lakota Junior High School.  The reason I said this was the beginning of the end is, because we sucked.  Or what I really meant is that my teammates sucked.  Let me emphasize this point one more time, a good comparison of my team to another team is the “Bad News Bears.”  My team had a couple of misfits, I don’t know if misfits fit our team, pariahs more like it.  But, it gets better because Lakota-3 had two of the most unathletic people
   on the earth.
It all started with the draft.  If you don’t know what a draft is, it’s when coaches from different teams get together and they scout players.  . After, they scout players they pick the players they want.  I was the first player selected overall, but I was probably the seventh or eighth best player out of everyone who tried out.

Quincy was the ghetto kid who thought he was the best basketball player in the world; oh I forgot to mention he never passed the ball.  Not only was he a ball hog, he ate food during time outs and he argued with refs a lot. Quincy ‘s ball hog problem wouldn’t have been so bad if he wasn’t the point guard (the point guard is the primary ball handler on a basketball team).  Finally, we got the spastic twins Paul and Jerome.   Paul and Jerome, by far, are the two most uncoordinated people I ever met.  Paul was a short, pale kid, who was practically a mute.  Jerome was a black kid with long nappy hair and braces.  I can’t forget his glasses; Jerome had these coke bottle glasses.  They were a fire hazard, the lenses were son thick that if any light hit them, then he could use his lenses to conduct the light energy and start a fire (somewhat like a laser).  I’m not going to name the rest of the team, because honestly they were so horrible that they’r...
