Got Schooled On The Court By A High School Kid; Larry Holmes Status Confirmed (Free Daps & Reps)

[Julio Jones]

Damn brehs, I got hit with a dose of reality yesterday. So I had let myself get out of shape due to stress from my last job and personal ish going on. Went from 225 to 290 over the past five years (I'm 6'3" and fairly muscular former athlete, but a lot of that weight I gained was fat too.) I decided I was gonna change things and finally get right for good. I've lost about 10 pounds already just by changing my diet

One of the things I had been doing to get back in shape was hooping again. I went to the LA Fitness near my parents house across from my old high school and I see some kids hooping on the court. I figured I'd just shoot by myself on the other side while they do their thing. One of the cats asked if I wanted to play one on one. Kid is kinda tall and probably 17 or so, so I'm thinking "yeah, let me give this young blood that work "

So I'm doing my thing at first. He tries to get fancy and misses. I take the ball and post the young breh up and hit him with that KG fadeway.

Spoiler

He tries to drive on me and I get him with that lock down defense.

Spoiler

Then I hit a 3 off the ball check.

Spoiler

Ya boy feeling good at first......then my lack of conditioning caught up with me. Breh starts blowing past me cause I can't keep up no more. He's putting the ball between my legs, doing 360 layups, floaters, etc.

Spoiler

We were playing to 10. I started 3-0. It ended 3-10

Message to all my brehs in their mid to late 20s like me, take your health and fitness seriously. We too young to even be anywhere close to status. I'm sticking with it though. I'll definitely get back to where I need to soon. This fitness thing is a lifestyle now

29 and yeah, it ain't a good look. Can't make excuses though. I drank, partied, and ate a whole lot after college. When I got to the corporate world, the stress of it made things worse. But I can't let myself go out like that. I'm looking to be one of those guys in their 50s running 5Ks and puttin in work in the gym.

EDIT: I can actually still dunk despite the extra weight. Strength's never been my issue. It's conditioning. I bought some boxing gloves and wanna take up boxing to get my cardio back up.

Damn brehs, I can't practice, I can't practice man. If I'm hurt, I'm hurt. I mean … simple as that. It ain't about that... I mean it's... It's not about that... At all. You know what I'm saying I mean... But it's...it's easy … to, to talk about... It's easy to sum it up when you're just talking about practice. We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice. Not a game. Not, not … Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game, but we're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? … And we talking about practice. I know I supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And I'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I do. I honestly do... But we're talking about practice man. What are we talking about? Practice? We're talking about practice, man. We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game. We're talking about practice, man. When you come to the L.A. Fitness, and you see me play, you see me play don't you? You've seen me give everything I've got, right? But we're talking about practice right now. We talking about practice.

[Verbal Kint]

man I be on some LeBron conserving energy game just to make it.
I'm out there on some 'I'm just trying to get in shape' game.
I be out there like 'ya'll got it on O, I'ma just play D'
Get the ball on the wing like 'if I drive right now I ain't gonna have any breath for like the next 3 possessions. Swing the rock'
Cats like 'Yo take him!' I'm just looking back like :koblol:

 

[Clay Puppington]

Funny story OP.
I was telling my mans that he gonna have to keep in shape to keep up with HS kids cause these nikkas play BBall all day every day and don't have crazy responsibilities yet. He brushed it off on some "I ain't losing to no teenager" that reality check is gonna HURT!!!

No doubt. Sometimes you need that wake up call to let you know that you ain't as in shape as you thought you were I neglected cardio for the most part the past few years, so I gotta make that top priority now. When I was 23, 24 I could play pick up games for like 2 hours like it's nothing. That's what I gotta get back to.
