I got a technical one time for the ball rolled near half court and I picked it up. I heard one of my buddies say watch this cause he knew I was gonna shoot it. I did and splashed it. I held my follow through all the way down the court and got a technical, the only one of my high school career. I didn't care, it looked pimp asf. May God strike me dead. Literally two steps from half court. Dude it killed me tearing my ACL/MCL in the football playoffs senior year. I would've been the all time scorer. And I don't know why but if I air balled my first shot it meant I was having a huge game. Hit 30 or more 5 times. My scoring average rose from 6 my freshman year, on varsity, to 14, to 20. I know people embellish things all the time but everything I'm saying is the Gods honest truth.
At least in my senior year in football I led the state in interceptions and was first team all state in the AP, which was the Lexington Herald and first team all state in the coaches poll which was the Courier Journal. I was the first person in my school's history to be regional player of the year in two sports. I miss being a beast at sports. And I smoked weed before every game on both sports. Took a lot of pain killers with it during football but I tried it once in basketball, painkillers I mean, and rolled my ankle in warmups and couldn't hit shit.
