Greetings everyone! what an exciting weekend of basketball. I had such a blast. There was a great turnout of both athletes and spectators to watch the amazing event. Overall it was an awesome event to be apart of. My team went undefeated throughout pool play. The semi finals began the next day and we were the only undefeated team until that point. In a barn burner we pulled out another victory to put ourselves into the finals. the heavily favorited team was made up of Joeseph chambers, Jason nelms two usa athletes who will compete with me in beijing, and tim caldwell. My team consisted of Josh rucker, an up and coming player who is fairly new to the sport but very fiesty and jesus. I dont want to attempt his last name becuase Im sure I would butcher it. So like prince or cher he will remain jesus. The first team to score 21 points wins the game. anything inside the three point line counts as 1 point three's counted as 2 points, and you must win by two. It was extremely intense! the game went basket for basket and with the game tied at 20 a piece jason nelms knocked down a two point basket from down town. It was an amazing finish to a good game. It was awesome for the fans to see. Even though I did not come out victoriously it was a fun time. Not a total loss I was the winner of the three point shootout. Winner of that gets a pair of top of the line spinergy wheels for their basketball chair. Grand prize for the 3 on 3 was 1,000 $ second place was 700 $ and third 500 $. I'm back home now, and will rest for the remainder of the day. Tommorrow I get back into training, and leave for the north american cup next week. I'll keep you all posted.

Sounds like a great time! That's cool that the final game was so close, those are always the best kind of games. Congrats on winning the shootout!
