Today I learned that I don’t understand
the thrill of basketball
for the life of me.
And I am OK with that…
‘Any American boy can be a basketball star if he grows up, up, up.’ ~Bill Vaughn
‘Fans never fall asleep at our games,
because they're afraid they might get hit by a pass.’
~George Raveling
‘The secret is to have eight great players
and four others who will cheer like crazy.’
~Jerry Tarkanian 
‘These are my new shoes. They're good shoes.
They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me.
They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.’
~From a Charles Barkley commercial for basketball shoes, 1993

Such excellent action shots. I'm so impressed!
It depends on who is playing!
Great shots! And I *love* the quotes you added between them! :)
Yeah, I never was much into basketball either. Too bad since I had a son that was pretty good and a husband that was a VERY successful coach.
I love those blue converse!! So cool!!
My husband LOVES basketball (just recently though). He and a bunch of guys play in our church gym after Sunday night service.
I love these action shots and the great quotes!! Looks like the boys are thoroughly enjoying their game.....what a bunch of cuties shooting hoops:)
Have a fabulous week~

Basketball is about the only sport I really understand- so yes! I played up until my Sophomore year in high school, but was never very good.

I don't mind basketball, but I don't LOVE it.
I want some of those blue high top tennis shoes! Cool.
No! I don't!
But I play Around the World or PIG when asked to by four boys who matter the most-
Nothing better than boys and hoops. Except maybe robin's egg blue all stars....
I love b-b-b-b-basketball! I can sit through a whole game and actually know what's going on. For about 2.8 hours when I was younger, I'd actually entertained the thought that since I'm not tall enough to be a player, I could be a referee!
I love your shots of the boys! Mental P Mama said it best... nothing better than boys and hoops. :)
Great photos! Basketball is one sport I enjoy watching! My daughter cheers for b'ball and the games are exciting!
-heather
I just can't keep up with the action in basketball; I'm more of a baseball kind of girl. But I do love those blue high tops, and I love seeing pics of your boys playing basketball! My boy is more into riding bikes and fishing right now; neither one is great as a spectator sport! As always, your quotes are just as perfect as your photos....
You will now learn something about me today. :) I was a cheerleader for our basketball team in high school. (That was the only sports team our little school had.) And I really enjoyed watching the game then.
I cannot immerse myself in any sports on TV, though. I am too easily distracted.
My little guy spent 2 hours playing bball on our deck the other night. It's funny how they can do things they love for such a long period but the rest... yeah, no attention span there!
Love the action shots.
Basketball is so much fun.....especially when you are six feet tall and can hold the ball over everyone's head. :)
I wish I were a bball fan, it seems to be on YEAR.ROUND! I don't get it....now football...now you are talking, it's just not on long enough!
I just spent the last 10 minutes visiting your blog. You are VERY funny, and you take great pics!
I like watching the highlights on ESPN. :)
That Charles Barkley quote is awesome. And the truth!
Basketball was always my weakness. I was never real good at it.
I used to watch it...now no! I like it but like you don't really understand. Love Kaishon new Chucks, cool color!
I love those shoes! The colour is awesome!
I don't really like watching basketball but I do like watching the Lakers win :-)
Love those blue shoes!
Have a great week,
jj
I don't get basketball either!
Love those blue shoes though...so cute!
Love the intensity the kids show while playing!! I too do not follow basketball, but do love cricket!!!!
not a basketball fan, but you gotta love Charles Barkley!
You really caught the feel of the game! Love it!
Excellent shots :D Thanks for stopping by mine and giving me a heads up about the picture ~ can you check back and see if you can see it now ~ ta!

Great action shots, and love the quotes. :) My little guy likes to play basketball...but really he just chases the ball around. ;)
I understand unfortunately nothing about Basketball, but it looks as if they had a lot of fun.
Greetings from Germany
Liebe Grüße, Petra
as usual, love your post! and i love tt you managed to capture all the action!
Very nice!
Not a fan of basketball but a huge fan of tennis shoes!
<><
I'm not a fan either, but I love the shoes! lol
I played in high school, not very well though. Probably was the shoes.
I really only enjoy watching March Madness during the college season.
I love watching live basketball games, whether high school or college or pro. I can't play well. great post.
I remember having boys red converse all star basketball shoes, but I have never played the game. Maybe I really was more into fashion than I remember?
Those are great !I am amazed at the clarity you achieved with those fast movin' fellows. :)
Great shots (and quotes!). Looks like great fun was had...but for the life of me, I just can't get into watching organized sports (of any kind!). Love that first pic, too, btw...that 'non-basketball' one ;D
I love watching and playing ball. Wish I was on the court now.
