And I said, why am I falling down if it didn't hurt? She's like, see, this is what I'm trying to explain to you. You are so big you can foul and then you go to the foul line, make foul shots. That's the only way you're going to be a benefit to your team. And I said, but I can't shoot foul shots.
She's like, I recognize this, but your numbers are gonna be, you're gonna get fouled so much, you will get multiple opportunities. So she starts teaching me how to do ball handling. I'm terrible at ball handling. She's teaching me how to shoot foul. You know, pop your wrist, pop your wrist. I'm like, what are you talking about? She's talking to me about, basically, I was like a theater geek.

So I decided that on this basketball, Mr. Honey, who still teaches gym at Waldorf, said, you need to figure a role. You need to have a role. So I took the role of enforcer. I don't think that's what he meant. But I decided that I was going to be like the linebacker equivalent of a basketball player.

Now, I also had this weird asthma thing where if I was running in fresh air or doing too much, my throat would go cold. So I'm in my Waldorf basketball uniform, big as hell, extra fabric in it because I'm big as hell, with a bandana tied around my head, looking for bitches. Because that's all I know how to do. So every time I saw somebody that wasn't dressed like me, I'd bring the paint.

But that's not how basketball is supposed to work. So... We're playing Our Lady Star of the Sea, affectionately referred to as Tuna High. What's up, Tuna High? So we're playing them. Now, I don't know if any of you have been to the Detroit Waldorf School, but it was designed by Albert Kahn. And Albert Kahn is a wonderful architect, but Albert Kahn don't know shit about designing gyms.

So the edge of our basketball court was about three inches from the wall, and there was no padding. So when you played on our turf, we could cut a corner like a sumbitch, so you were already in our world. So these tuna girls are running flat face into this brick wall, and Mr. Honey's like, we got him, we got him. So the Waldorf team had two moves. We had a gold move and maroon.

So if he called gold, that meant you passed the ball to Angela. If he called maroon, that meant you passed the ball to Angela quicker. Because... Angela Taylor, if you know who she is, tell her I said this. Angela Taylor was the only person on our team who could shoot the ball. So the rest of them were like, get it to Angela, get it to Angela.

Angela played about nine million minutes that one year because she never came off the court. So it's the last game. We're playing tuna high, and I start going through the paint, right? And the idea is that I get in the paint, and I ditch the Angela. So I'm going through the paint. I go and do a layup, and the damn ball goes in. And I actually scored.
