    I, personally, am sad to see the Dunk Contest go away. I get it. None of the best dunkers even participate anymore. We got Mac McClung winning. There are better dunkers on playgrounds and in gyms than NBA (yes I said it). But again, it's sad that it's gone. Here's one you missed though. It was REALLY good. Literally one for the ages.

    Cross country is even cheaper. Just need some running shoes and lots of water.

    I think running shoes are more expensive than a basketball. And you really only need 1 basketball for 10-15 players.

    And running for fun? I could never get there.

    I guess. But you'd still want some type of basketball shoes for support. You can play it, just like you can run in whatever shoes you have, but injury risk can go up.

    I don't think I've owned a pair of dedicated basketball shoes, except when I had to for organized school basketball in middle school. And even then, they doubled as my PE shoes (which were mandated by the school).

    Problem was, wrestling and basketball season are the same season. Had to choose. And I was naturaly a far better wrestler.

    School gave me the singlet and head gear, but I had to buy dedicated wrestling shoes.

    Wrestling was great in one aspect. I got to chug honey for my cotton mouth.

    I'm not gonna talk about why I had cotton mouth.....

    Wrestlers are the most vile and disgusting people I've ever met. Nothing bothers them.

    Go on.

    In cross country people would shit their pants and keep running.

    Some of us also put icy hot on our balls because it would start to burn if you weren't running fast enough to create a breeze of air.

    Ever heard of a wrestler "checking the oil" of their opponent?

    Some of us would call that kinky.

    That's gross. Especially without consent.
