Basketball Court in a Bank
A local bank in Oswego, Illinois decided to put a basketball court inside. I have no clue what their motivation is in doing this. What kind of clients are expecting to attract? You think the wealthy entrepreneur is going to come to the bank to play a pick up game? Doubtful. So whats the real motive? I can only speculate, but I did have a career in banking. Here is a little secret read more
Rudy Gay Full Court Shot Mishap
During last nights Lakers / Grizzlies game, Rudy Gay shot a ball from nearly full court out of desperation with more than 7 seconds left on the clock. Maybe he wasn’t able to take his afternoon nap and that threw his timing off??? Needless to say he not only didn’t make it, but Kobe Bryant got the rebound and got an extra 3 pointer in before the half. The Grizzlies did end up winning 95 – 93.
Blindfolded Half Court Shot
Yahoo - The prank was set up perfectly. A high school girls’ basketball coach in Kansas was told he’d win tickets to the Final Four if he hit a half-court shot while blindfolded. The crowd was instructed to scream wildly when his attempt inevitably failed (because, really, that shot is nearly impossible) so the coach would think the shot went in. For an instant ,he’d think he was Final-Four-bound and then the joke would be revealed. There was just one problem, though: He made it. The students at Olathe High School in Kansas may have picked the wrong foil for the joke. Joel Branstrom, the popular girls’ basketball coach at the school, was a walk-on for the University of Kansas basketball team in 1997. Clearly he had the basketball chops to make such a prank risky, at best. Branstrom was hoping he’d finally get to go this year. Instead he received a gift certificate from a Mexican restaurant from students who felt guilty about setting up the prank. To his credit, Branstrom took the joke in stride. He said he thought something was in the works (initially he feared he was going to get hit with a pie) and figured the crowd would cheer after any shot he attempted. He didn’t believe that it actually went in until a good bit after. One student told USA Today that since this story has gained national attention there have been offers pouring in from people willing to donate Final Four tickets to Branstrom. Maybe his miracle shot won’t be unrewarded after all.
