Let's Play Ball

Mick never had the height but he could jump.                                                                                                                 He was swift, fast, and he could truly dunk.                                                                                                                            He was muscular and strong, trim and slim;                                                                                                           shocking everyone trying to guard him.

Just one season, and it felt like a dream.                                                                                                       That year, Mick played on a basketball team.                                                                                                           It's the 'total game feel' that he loves most.                                                                                                           But some players like it best high above.

High above the rim, ten plus feet, that is.                                                                                                                                                That is where Mick felt the basketball thrill.                                                                                                                               Those high-flying dunks with authority.                                                                                                                              Shot blocking with timing ability.
