basketball

Wed, 04/15/2026 - 12:47am by parkerr

how is it that today is the first time since fifth grade that I have participated in the joyous, beautiful sport of basketball? what an intrinsically interesting concept. yes! throw that sphere into that hoop. in fact, basketball was invented at the YMCA and played with peach baskets without bottoms. imagine being those pioneers and thinking, "hmm what do we call this game where we throw a ball into a basket???" 

what an eloquent word, too. basketball. basket. ball. basketball. not that i'm super into watching sports now but man I was almost courtside at a college basketball game once, and man was it electric! the stadium's cheers and whoops and general excitement really got me into watching some people throw a ball back and forth. 

a lot of cardio, though, that basketball is. I forget that as a climber I participate in pretty much zero cardio until I have to run or, as in today's case, jog back and forth a court repeatedly. 

perhaps i'll start running. 

just kidding!!!!!
