I think my longest streak so far is six baskets in a row.

Soon I’ll be up to the challenge of seeing if I can get one player to pass
the ball to another.  I’m not sure if that’s going to be possible though
(the passing isn’t the problem – it’s the catching).

At basketball practice tonight I worked on passing for the first time.  I
managed to complete 5 passes between two of the players on the 3431 court.
It took me at least 50 attempts to make that many completed passes so it's
far from being a sure thing - but at least now I know it's possible.

Having one player throw the ball and another one catch it might have a
higher "oh cool!" factor than simply making a basket.

I also managed to up my record to 7 baskets in a row.

I ended up getting 3564 mainly because it has a Jazz player in it.  I used
to be a New Orleans Jazz fan over 20 years ago.  Then I bought 3561 just
because it had Lakers and Celtics players in it – I just wanted some jerseys
from teams that I used to be at least vaguely familiar with.

I realize today when I cracked open 3561 that the Lakers player is Shaquille
O'Neal.  So I guess that's two of the players that I've heard of before.

Oh yeah, and in case it's not clear - I do realize that the Jazz are no
longer in New Orleans.

Stay tuned for more reports...

P.S. When are we going to get a newsgroup for Sports?
