This is actually pretty cool. Me and igotask8board talked to each other through PM and we lived like only 15 minutes away. So there was a basketball tournament coming up hosted by my high school for high schoolers and college people. I asked igotask8board to be on my team. So me and him are going to be on teams tommorow. It is a 3 on 3 tournament with 2 subs. Well, he came today at the gym to hoop with us and he was pretty good. Give us some luck for tommorow's tourney. We'll hopefully do good. Btw, my team played against his team today in a pick up game, and we beat them 15-13 with me knocking down a three to win. I hope we do good tomorrow.
Good luck guys! I have my last game of the season tomorrow. Me and my friend are playing in this league and we're the best team (we only have one loss). The team we're playing tomorrow also has one loss but it was a pretty bad one. Tomorrow is basically the championship game so I'm really hoping we win. The other team has a lot of height and we aren't very tall so we're gonna use a Hack-A-Shaq strategy.
igotask8board and Umair on the same team? That's a killer combination! Get some footage and youtube that.
I would've youtubed it, but chances of things getting stolen there are high. Pakman had lost a cell phone there before, I don't even take my phone there anymore. And a camcorder? No way man. Don't worry guys we'll tell yall what happens. It starts in an hour and I'm still at home. :rofl
<div class="quote_poster">Iggy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Good luck! Will Pakman be participating too? You guys should get some footage and youtube it.</div> Nah man. Im like the PREZ of our MSA (Muslim Student Association) and this is to make some money for our club for next year and this years banquet (reserving the hall and stuff). I made the flyers and setup the whole tournament. My friends and I advertised it. But we can play while running the tournament, too bad I have TestMaster's (SAT) Class though.
I'm gonna try to get some clips from my game. The quality probably won't be great though because it's from my digital camera.
Ok this shiz was tight and not tight too. First of all, the tournament started at 11:30. I was waiting for igotask8board like forever and he showed up at like 1:35. So between 11:30 and 1:35 we had a game. We were going by 1's and 2's since we were playing halfcourt. They had two 10 minute halves. In the first half, we were down by 7-1 and we went on a 8-0 run to take the lead 9-7. Then igotask8board showed up. He was going to play, but I had 5 people already and that was the limit and since he showed up late, he couldn't play. That was pretty messed up, but yeah we didn't get to play together. He was watching me play. And he can tell you guys how I was playing against other teams. Then our second game we lost, but we were guaranteed 3rd place because we had a bye right after our 1st game which put us in the semis. There were 4 teams remaining. If you count byes as a win then we were 2-0. We were sittind down and the other team who was 2-0 was sitting down too. Now the remaining teams were 1-1 and were playing against each other. So whoever lost were going to be out because it was double elimination. Then we were going to be guaranteed 3rd place. There were 3 teams left and we played the other 2-0 team. We were up 7-6 at half time but we ended up losing by like 4 points. Now there was a 3-0 team, we were 2-1 and the other team was 2-1. So to decided who was going to the finals we played the other 2-1 team. We lost to them by 2 points with me missing a three pointer to tie. So we ended up with 3rd place. I have the medal and I will post a pic of it later on. Now came the three point shootout. The 3 point shootout was a tag team shootout. Basically you stand at the corner and go all the way around. You had to make 5 shots from the corner, the wing, straight, wing, then corner. Your opponent was on the opposite side of you trying to do the same thing. After you finished your teammate had to do the same thing. Whichever team finished the shootout first would win. So there were about 12 teams. Me and igotask8board were teammates. We won our first game, second game, won our third game, and lost our 4th game. It was basically like brackets so we kept on advancing. In the end there were 3 teams remaining so we had ended up doing a 3 way tournament at the end. All teams came out to be 1-1 so we kept on going. Our team and another team eliminated the 3rd team so we were in the finals. I let igotask8board go first so he could start good and I could finish good. We were in the finals against these two cold people. Their first guy finished and igotask8baord was still shooting. As soon as he finished, and it was my turn to go, their team had won. So I didn't get to go, because igotask8board finished too late. The other team won and me and igotask8board came 2nd. The first place team got $20 and second place went home with nothing. Overall, it was fun as hell playing with igotask8board in the three-point shootout. The guy shoots EXACTLY like Reggie Miller. He's pretty good, but too bad he couldn't play with me in the tournament. We played together in the three point shootout. I got third place in the overall tournament and 2nd place with igotask8board in the shootout. Pakman, my brother, was hosting the tournament and he got a video camera from his friend and record me and igotask8board doing the three point shootout. I will ask him to tell his friend to cut that part out and send it to me on youtube so I can show it to you guys. It was a bad ass video!

<div class="quote_poster">Legacy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Good job peeps. Reppin JBB to the fullest. The winner only got 20 dollars? </div> Yeah lol!! The funniest thing is before the threepoint shootout started, I told igotask8board that "lets win for justbball" We did pretty good, but we did kinda bad in the finals game. It's all good, second place isn't bad. The winner was suppose to get $30 for both players, but they didn't make enough money so they ended up giving $10 to both the three point champs teammates.
Sounds pretty fun, my school's annual 3-on-3 tourney is in 2 weeks, should be fun. There's always about 20 teams in it, so I got to get my team together, hopefully I can get a good girl.....

He hit the gamewinner with me running full speed at him...right when I got a hand in his face he shot it...nothin but net. <div class="quote_poster">Legacy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Good job peeps.

He's clutch, every time I told him to measure it he'd knock it down. When it came to the last two (game winning) 3 pointers at the same spot, in every game he knocked them both down in a row. We lost because of me. I'm too rusty. I've lost all my endurance/stamina these past few weeks just sitting on my ass studying for finals.

<div class="quote_poster">Iggy Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">HOLY SH*T! 6-3, and you're like 15 (around Umair's age i'm assuming)?</div> It says 19 on his profile.
Nah man, don't blame the loss on yourself. We lost as a team. But we did good, you were just off at the end. And I will post the video of us in the three point shootout later. Good job man. Btw, I am 15 and about 5'3 1/2. Igotask8board is a giant. The guy is so tall.
