me? play basketball?

Word of the Day: tirar
Meaning: to shoot (as in basketball)

You're pointing to me? Somehow, I've been recruited for the Casa Buen Senor women's basketball team for the tournaments this weekend to celebrate NPH's 55th anniversary. Yesterday I participated in my first ever official basketball training session.

Lesson: how to shoot a ball.
Success? I'm 1 for 20 on my shots.
I knew there was a reason I stuck with soccer all those years.

At least I've got the American thing going for me:
1) People think I'm good because basketball is from my home land, and
2) I'm taller than all the girls and can jump higher than some of the guys.

FYI: baloncesto is NOT how you say basketball here. It's basquetbol. Duh
