EL BLOG ILUSORIO DE RUDY: The Grabbing Bag

The Grabbing Bag

Today I provide a topic variety. It is a bag for grabbing! First, did you know that Baron Davis has an “off” switch? As we found when playing his team, it can be easily activated by making contact with him. An example follows:

This trait gives Baron unique credibilities when it comes to turning off and unplugging devices for the conservation!

But better to have an off-switch than the bouncy center which Sasha Vujacic possesses. This leads to embarrassing results after a celebratory chest bump. (Pau Gasol says that Sasha sometimes plays like “a physics experiment gone bad.” Now I understand his meaning!)

Finally, you can join a fan club of my devising! Sergio claims that having my own fan club is a sign of massive egotism. ¡Él sólo desea que él tenía su propio club de fans! Anyway, fans of my club can obtain prizes, but they have to be earned. First up, I give away the signed sneakers that I wore at the slam-dunk competitions!

Rudy's Hypothetical Rules of Basketball

1. In ten years, nobody will remember the details of score, assists, or rebounds. They will only remember who won them a chalupa.

2. Any shot worth shooting is worth shooting twice.

3. When not shooting on offense, you should be communicating, passing, and running. Also, yell “Foul!” repeatedly. Why? How can officials summon help if you yell “Good D!” or “Our opponents are superior!”?

4. If legitimately called for a foul, say, “A good call!” (Do this no more than once a game.)

5. When in possession of the ball, have a plan. Further, have a back-up plan, because the first plan won't work (unless you are Brandon Roy).

6. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. (Both Oden and Pryzbilla provide these in abundance.)

7. On defense, ignore words and direct your eyesight to the ball. (Opposing Cleveland, LeBron James told me he would pull up for a jumper. I advanced upon him. Then James drove baseline with great speed. Both of my ankles gave way!)

8. The faster you begin an opponent’s blow-out, the more shots everyone will get.

9. Be polite and professional to everyone you play against. Then destroy them, for they wish to defeat you.

10. Practice shooting in a dimly-lit practice area with someone shouting unflattering threats at you. (I found this useful in Europe, where partial power outages were not uncommon.)

11. You may feel sad about snapping another team’s back with a clinch alley-oop or a clutching 3-pointer. But sadness is preferred to losing. And the winning will then bring happiness. (In the case of defeating the Lakers, the happiness will be most pronounced.)

12. Purple is not my color. (It may not be anyone’s color.)
