Basketball Season is almost here.

The Olympics are over, and our victorious team of tough-as-nails, hard working decent down to earth Americans are victorious again, showing the world that we are truly No.1 in basketball.

The Yo's are feeling the summer ending and rolling out to da' courts to begin putting on a dazzling display of sweet-as-molasses jukes and jives, of rainbow jumpers and power dunks. The city is alive as you walk past each court, and see Trey and Shaq and Oddell and TJ and Lil Daryl as they bump elbows, jostle for position and enjoy the honest effort of a fair game of 'Hoops' as they like to call it.

The thought of cappin' azz is put a way for a while, and the thought of making that oh-so-perfect no-look pass, or reaching high and releasing that on-a-rope 3 pointer as you fade away takes over. Sure, there is still gun violence, but there will be time for drug dealing and drive bys later, after the game is contested.

Big or little, we are all big today, as orange balls bounce pounce pitter-patter off the streets and da' boys head down to the school yard, and the sweet air gently carries the sounds of summer fading, and net's swishing mark the start of hoops season.

It's all good. All good, I say. Game is ten, loser outs, no shirt or skins, just remember who your men are, and good luck to you and your crew!
