Basketball requires athletic ability.

That's why I've never been able to play.

I've excelled at sports that didn't require speed and agility. Collusion sports at collusion positions.

Lineman in football. Catcher* in softball. Goalie in lacrosse.




* once stealing entered the scene, I was done at catcher. No arm. Which is why I switched over to lacrosse. Knee injury after knee injury [first tore it up at 10] led me to goalie.
