Ballin'

Genetics are supposed to be passed down through generations and such but it does not alway work out the same.  Take my dad and his father for an example: grandpa=athletic, dad=puts in great effort.  So the theory of the family was the athleticism "skipped" a generation and my sister and I acquired the agility and talent. NOT. My grandpa was a solid basketball player from what I hear, but I question this after playing a game of basketball with my fellow Aussies.  

IF I were naturally talented at the game, I most likely would not have let an 8 year old, 4 foot 4 girl pack me.  I went to shoot the ball, and somehow her unnaturally long arms got a part of the ball.  Also if I were naturally talented at basketball, I probably would not shoot the ball WAY to high, or not even close to the basket.  

This may not be enough to convince you that I am awful at basketball.  But, my conclusion is this: basketball is either not passed through genetics OR if it is, (sorry grandpa) but it was never there to begin with.  

In the end, I had a lot of fun.  My team was getting really competitive towards the end and even a little feisty to counter the small child on the other team.  I hope I will be able to do this again! And I look super sexy in a basketball jersey...
