    I played varsity threw out High School, which I found to be a waste freshmen and sophomore years because I barely played. I started to get some real PT my Jr year.
    Now I just play every day with my friends at the park.

    I had 2 interviews with the Clippers...

    Which probably outweighs my NBA 2k8 skills

    And that outweighs my 1 year of HS basketball...

    1 year JV, 3 years Varsity in high school.
    Freshman year bench warmer at a D3 college.
    Sophomore year made the team, but declined a roster spot so I could focus on academics and stayed on the practice squad my last 3 years.

    I think the closest is probably about 30 feet from the court, like 5 years back my Dad got some good tickets and he gave them to my brother and myself.

    Then probably about 20 times about 80-100 feet away in the corner of the upper level.

    I used to be really fat when I was in elementary school, and the beginning of middle school. I never played organized ball.

    I lost weight, played on some CYO (Church Youth Organization?) teams, but never really did much. There were frequent times when the team would do well while I was in. Then, the coach would yank me, and we'd lose by 20. Try to figure that one out.

    After that, just playground ball.

    PAL when I was a kid, and another CYO league when I was a kid.
    that's one thing I highly regret: not sticking with leagues. these days it's just playground stuff, though I'll be joining a rec team in either winter or next summer, so I'm excited about that. I love the sport.

    Never played in school and knew nothing about the game until I started watching Celtics games in the 80s. Then I hit the pick up courts at college and in my hometown and eventually developed quite a reputation among the local high school boys as the "old" white lady that could shoot and drive some. I did actually win some games of "30" against guys that played organized ball at high school (then or before), so I didn't do so bad for a 5'7" female that never played until she was in her 20s.

    Anyway, I was pretty good throughout middle school, but not good enough to make our high school teams. (huge school 3,500 students)
