Post basketball where I had a big steal and block outs in the low post, I realize who I am is the physical player who commands and disrupts. I need to feel you, hit you, to know how you work. And I need to hit it in your face. <\/p>\n
I almost hit a baby today. Taking shots, there was a beautiful toddler in the corner so I tried to keep an eye on her while I was shooting. But her parents where there around her, so I didn’t think of it as my responsibility. Next thing I know, I hit a shot and realize she’s standing right under the basket and it was an entire nightmare reality in the breath of a moment. Time stopped, except for the ball dropping straight at her head. Spirit lashed in panic. Body froze. Paralysis.<\/p>\n
BOOMP. The ball dropped right next to her, impossibly close. It happens so fast she barely bat an eye.<\/p>\n
I still can’t believe the fear of that moment didn’t make me wet my pants.<\/p>\n
Bonnie saw, too. In that split moment. So close. Two radically different realities separated by a hair of space. <\/p>\n
It made my knees weak, how close it was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
