I go and give my mother $400 and opal $100 now I'm left with $300 which I know will go back up because December is almost over so the pizza place will be sending me some cash soon. I call up Shawn to see if he still wanted to go play for some money and he gets excited and tells me to meet up with him on Sat.u.r.day bright and early.

I go through out the week and on Sat.u.r.day Shawn and I take a trip to New York which surprised me. I asked him where we are going and he tells me Rucker Park and my eyes immediately s.h.i.+ne because Rucker Park is like the basketball heaven for street ball and I've always wanted to go there. We take a train out there and get there in a few hours.

I get dressed in the jersey given to me by the pizza place and Shawn handles the admission and bets, he signed us up on the 2v2 $200 per game, winner takes all and the boot gets $20 from that cut for setting it up. I'm amazed at how much games are being played there. There's one player I spot right away Carmelo Antony playing the 1vs1 games and im amazed that I get to see him playing because he was in high school while I was in middle school but I still felt the urge to play against him.

The first game we played was against a pg and sf. The SF was taller than both me and Shawn so I told them that we shooting for ball and you guys know we got the ball because well I can't miss. The games are normally played to 11 points since the lines are so long and they play twos and three points. We began our game with Shawn checking it up to them and than he did a quick pa.s.s to me and I shot the ball real quick because the pg wasn't playing me all that serious in the beginning like most of my opponents at the start so we quickly take 3 points.

The point guard now gets in my face not giving me any breathing room so when Shawn pa.s.ses me the ball I quickly lean into him to make him look like he was fouling me while I was shooting and the ref blew his whistle for the foul and free throw but I also made the shot so it became a four point play because I made it at the line. The other team is p.i.s.sed we have a seven point lead already but we continued to ball Shawn gives me the ball behind him and I take the shot since they don't think I can make it from there and behind someone either but it still goes in.

They switch at this point so now the SF is guarding me but I smirk because I know he's not quicker than me. Shawn checks the ball and I run back to the half court and get the ball and take a shot from there surprising the duo. I make it to get the win and scream next.Our next opponents were both pretty tall sitting at 6'9 and 6'8 respectively. I know this is going to be a hard game since they could easily block my shots if not shot right.

We start the game with the ball being pa.s.sed to me and I quickly take the shot to give us a three point lead. They step up to play better defense. Shawn pa.s.ses the ball to me and I pa.s.s it right back to him and I quickly run pa.s.s the guy guarding me since I'm quicker than him I give Shawn sign to pa.s.s it to me but it's a fake and I act like I'm about to get the pa.s.s so the guy jumps up to try and get the ball but than loses sight of me because of that but I'm already running back to the three point line to receive the pa.s.s to make another three points.

The guys are boiling mad that they got tricked so easily. Shawn checks the ball again and gives me the ball while the guy that's supposed to guard me is running back but as soon as Shawn checks the ball he quickly pa.s.ses to me and I take another shot to get us to game point 9-0. They tried to say it was a foul ball since they were not ready but ref tells them if they were not ready they shouldn't have checked the ball.

So Shawn once again checks the ball and pa.s.ses to me and I do my famous half court shot since the opponent didn't think I can make it from there. They didn't bother running after me and just like that game ended. We than take a break to go get some lunch. We ended up in a pizza place and crushed two boxes of pizza to fill ourselves. When we got back we had to get in a long line because of the afternoon s.h.i.+ft of players.

We had $360 profit from today's games and I think two more games before we head back to Maryland would have done us some good. The third match we matched up against these two asain boys. They were as tall as us so we knew we wouldn't be able to use speed against them. I was just hoping they didn't see any of our match's so I can use my usual tricks on them.

We start the match with Shawn pa.s.sing me the ball and I just shoot it right away since the guy gave me some s.p.a.ce and we take a three point lead. Shawn checks the ball and tries to pa.s.s it to me but the guy is all over me so I had to come behind Shawn so he could hand the ball to me but since Shawn blocked both of them when I came behind him I took the shot and got a six point lead.

The sg that was supposed to be checking me got yelled at by the pg that was checking Shawn and we laugh at them but immediately there faces darken and they get serious. Shawn pa.s.sed the ball to me I pump fake him making him jump so I go around him step back and drain the three from outside to give us 9 points. We just need one more bucket so I ran to the half court as Shawn pa.s.ses the ball but the guy is tailing me scared I'll lose him from there.

I charged towards him dribbling like a mad man and pretended like I was going to the left but went right making him fall on his b.u.t.t and me about to shoot but than his partner came to help defend so I just pretended to shoot the ball and brought it back and when he was in the air I pa.s.sed it to Shawn because he was wide open and he took the shot to win the game for us.
