The good times and the rough times

Today was another great day on base.  We were able to have a lot of free time and I was able to work on some of my basketball skills.  I have not been playing much hoop and all and it felt a little weird at first to get out there and get some shots up.  It is really funny because back home when I play ball I am usually one of the bigger guys on the court and I can use my strength and size to score.  Out here is a different story though, these guys are pretty big but they lack the fundamentals of the game.  It is easy to call for ball screens, hit the open man, run the fast break and finish on these guys because they are usually out of position.  I love playing basketball with these guys because they get really mad when they lose and brings out some fierce competition.
