Now Joey's playing basketball...

At least he's being active. Its county rec league, not high school.

 

Just won their first game. Joey said he did ok, was 0-2 shooting. Mom said he had a bunch of rebounds and assists, though.

 

He had fun. That’s what’s the mportant.

 

Worst thing for him is the refs probably have no idea how to call it when he gets to throwing people around inside. Keep it up though Joey!

 

Actually the worst is this is the first time he's playing organized basketball.

Thanks for the encouragement, everyone.

 

Nice thing about basketball is there is always a court around to practice on. Whether it be pickup games or just working on your own. All he needs is a drop step and a jump hook and he's unstoppable.

 

Active is good. Have fun and learn a new sport, Joey

 

I keep looking at his size and thinking about him playing long pole D in lacrosse.

Tape up this ankles, watch for knee pain and tell him to have fun. :up:

 

I feel bad for the 1st kid that runs into him when he learns to set a pick.

 

I wouldn't want to be jumping against him and have him land on my foot.
You go big Joe!

 

Add a left hand into that mix and college is paid for.

 

Great to see him staying active with sports. He will be even more prepared when football starts and same with basketball next year. Gotta start sometime and his god given gifts will help him through the hard learning stages.

Good for him. Go Joey!!!!!

 

So Awesome to see this. Good luck Joey

 

I'm guessing he's the power forward.

 

Playing another sport will help him with football. It will get him in better shape, give him teams skills, and build his confidence. I was just browsing through the TV guide, and the movie Blindside was starting!
Go getem Joey

 

He needs to learn to shoot 3s in this new boring NBA. Tell him to just start shooting from half-court.

Go Joey!

 

And I told him he missed the NBA by 20 years.
