He is playing Hoops!

Chance has decided that he would like to play basketball this year.   He had evaluations on Saturday.   He was excited to go.  I watched him, even though he did not really know what he was doing out there rule wise-- he played defense really well.   If there is such a thing, I would say he was a  natural in defensive form.   After we jumped in the car to go home, he said, "I like Basketball, it is easier then Baseball!"  I really do not know what he means by that?

Interesting things he does-- he is a right handed , but shoots left.  I tried to straighten that out for him, but you can't tell Chance anything.   So I let him shoot and just cheer him on when I am working yard duty. 

He likes to practice dribbling through his legs.  He finds that very cool!

Although Scott and  I played some basketball in our younger years, as time has gone on it has been phased out of our lives.  I have never really been a spectator and after Micheal Jordan left the NBA was never the same.   We attend an occasional game of Uncle Dick's -- we do enjoy those.  They bring back memories for Scott.     We did try to get Jordan involved in basketball... but it was just not something he enjoyed.  I know blasphemy!   I really did not expect Chance to be interested in it either, until he came home one day talking about playing basketball at school.  He went in the garage for a basketball and practiced dribbling and his cool leg pass.   So I figured I should sign him up and see if it was his thing.  After all, I still have Jordan's basketball shoes.
