My Goal...

I have tried several times to achieve this in my life, many times i have failed. With the biological clock clicking away as more injuries kick in i need to achieve this now, so i may experience the following:

Creativity

Flight

Dunk

Power

lebron

Dunking = Creativity + Flight + Power

All i want is to be able to dunk slightly haha... not asking for much..... Ppl are probably wondering now that "ok Phils on medication" doubt me, dont expect me to be able to accomplish this, ridicule me so i may use this as motivators to achieve.....

Corporate Games 2007 - NDY

 We played our very first Corporate Games today representing the company i work for NDY.

Team consisted of 6 players, see below in pics for member names. Played 3 games in our pool, and won all 3 games moving up to the playoffs, unfortuneatly we could not stay untill the Playoff games and therefore went home winners in our Pool division.

Acquired many injuries during the games,

Phil - Out with Knee problem

Andy - Splint Shins

Dru - Foot

Leoever - Back problems

Who ever said Basketball was not a vicious and rough game!

Tommys Fairwell

Tommy has been a good mate of mine for nearly 8 years now, we went to High School together, went to the same church together, played ball together .... i remember the first day he arrived and met him at church, he was the biggest FOB!
As time passed and our friendship grew we learnt alot from each other and have been through things together, i'd like to think that i've been there for him in support and i believe he's been there for me in need of support.
He will be off to Korea next week for a new chapter in his life initially joining the mandatory military service for 2 years, i tried to convince him out of it and said it was a waste of two years, however in order to achieve what he believes God wants him to do he trusts this is the right path.
I wish you the best mate and i will surely be visiting you, especially when you are at the Army with those ridiculous haircuts ^^ all the best!

Me and Tommy at the Airport, had to get up at 5.30am to get there in time! and straight to work after! Tommy looks like hes taking a dream photo! haha

Is Basketball really worth it?

Today we played a team called "South Cowan" they consist of an average height of 6 foot 4, players who are physically stronger and more athletic than our short ass Asian team. Don't get me wrong we're big for an Asian team but when it comes to Aussies we're small.
Surprisingly we kept it close and only lost it in the end... considering they had ABA and a NBL player i thought we did quite well.

I've been thinking recently, thinking about how much i played basketball. Currently at the moment i play the following days.

Monday - A grade Mens Hornsby
Thursday - Div 1 Auburn
Saturday - Practise with the Boyz
Sunday arvo - ACBA

Thats 4 days of my week! fair enough it keeps me fit and healthy but is it worth all the hassle it brings such as:

Stress
Anger
Ego/Jealously
Bitterness
Injuries and Pain
Politics
Money

However with the cons comes the pro's:

Excitement
Competitiveness/Drive
Recognition
Leadership
Teamwork
Friendship

Now Basketball has always motivated me, always has been a source of something! however as time goes on, that motivation and drive seems to fade...... however theres always something later to put me back on track.
Me and my Brother now have been playing since we were in Primary School, we love the game and believe God lead us to the sport for some reason.......
Maybe it was to make friends and somehow help them find God..
Maybe it was to teach kids bball and whilst doing that help them stay on track..
I use to think when i was young me and Andy would become pro ballers in Korea and be able to do Gods work thru bball, thru the public, by teaching younger kids then us.. etc... However that dream faded fast...
Basketball has always been our core sport.

Now i've seen many good players come and go, i guess the question is when will it be ours?

Amazing how a orange ball can impact someones life so much.....



Also just found out we left our freckin bball at the stadium! arghhh!
