I'm going to direct this one to Allan... what position do you play in basketball?
(Saw a post in the Twitter thread where you were shooting around) I'm guessing... power forward?
I reached 5'10" - 5'11" pretty quickly, which meant in Junior High I was a big player and I did play the power forward spot. I peaked at 6'1" so in high school I became a shooting guard.
In the Rec league I play in, I mostly play "all over the place" (mostly just reacting to where my teammates are going) though I typically guard the bigger guys on the other team. I totally had a sweet Olajuwon-esque post spin move in our most recent game though. One dribble low to a drop step into a spin baseline for a reverse layup. Was probably literally the nicest post move I had ever done in my life!
(If only I had the confidence to try such stuff when I was actually athletic!)
Nice. I do all my moves in the post, most of the time (6'4" and no perimeter shot, so I am a consumate center), so I know exactly what you mean about feeling awesome after hitting a crazy shot under the rim.
And also about being less athletic than I used to be! Just switched from a three-on-three shootaround with some buddies to a full court 5-on-5 play and didn't realize how winded I would be by the final last few minutes of play.
