Here in LA everyone likes basketball… no, loves is the better word. I like watching it during the finals. I like seeing highlights kids in high school who accidentally make a shot from cross court and I like the cheerleaders… expressing their artistic dance. That’s the extent of it for me.
How is it that everyone wants me to be involved even though they know I don’t really endear it that much? I’m 6 feet tall… so why am I picked to play at my middle school mini league? I’m a geek/nerd… so am I good at fantasy basketball? Almost every conversation I get into always ends up talking about basketball gossip. AM I FORCED TO LIKE THIS SPORT?
While I was in Puerto Rico with Justin (basketball fanatic!) prepping for his film… we saw a basketball hoop in the middle of the stunt team’s pen. Did I get excited… nope. Did Justin… of course. If I were in a comic shop, the tables would be turned. I’m sure there is more to it than just getting a ball in a hole. It’s team pride, it’s challenging and enjoyable. Too bad I suck at it.
I’ll stick with playing H.O.R.S.E.
Watch Justin do his shot and lets see if you have any cool shots of your own you can upload for us to see… maybe he’ll try your shot?
i’m glad that shot is becoming a tradition
and david – nerds unite! i can’t get excited around basketball hoops either; they’re usually much too public
also, did you mean to make the key words form the phrase ‘Lakers suck’ or is that just a coinky-dink?

-1 basketball. But that’s just me….

Nice shot, Justin. The Force is with You.
Did he use visual effects? Cmon
Ok, you may suck at basketball but can the great Justin Lin create photoshop images like this:
