i have the ball in my hand
its just me and the basket
i take a quick glance at my coach
he tells me to straighten out
bring in my elbow and line up my left foot
drop my hips and bend
i smell the leather of the ball as i line it up with my nose
i bring it down to my waist
line my left foot up with the center of the rim
drop my hips and bend my knees
i see the ref motioning the seconds with his hand
i spin the ball in front of me
look up at the basket
take three slow dribbles
let the ball roll back up into my hand
knee bounce till i get the feeling for the shot
bring the ball up to my face
bend then push the ball up and release
swish
relief runs through me
we just won.
