I know this is wrong to tell you this but it’s to funny not to. Last night my work out partner (Norwood) and I had just finished working out when instead of running around in circles on the track we decided to shoot some hoops instead.
When we got a ball most of the courts were full of people. We walked around until we found a goal with just this one guy using it. We asked if he minded if we shot around him. When he said that he did not we began to shoot a few shots here and there trying not to get in his was as well as trying not to come to the realization of how bad we are at basketball.
Although even our best shots were sub par from how we think we should shoot. Especially since we based our standards of our own level of performance on what we see on sport center. Nevertheless if someone were to be watching our display of our basketball prowess instead of watching anything more interesting, like paint dry, they would have seen that as bad as Norwood and I were that we could have been mistaken for the Harlem Globetrotters compared to the Gomer we were shooting with*.
Honestly it was like playing basketball with Napoleon Dynamite. His wild shots and insane body movements were only improved in their hilariousness by his excessive celebrations in doing the slightest thing well. Every shot made was followed by a loud “YESSSSS”, complete with the knee raise and clinched fist being brought in toward the chest. By the look of this guy you could obviously tell that he had mad numb chuck skills or was home schooled.
I would in no way ever agree to play this kid in tetherball.
*This sure is a long sentence.

Personally, I would like to play sports with people like Gomer. That’s the kind of person that makes you look good!
