A packed gym, big boys varsity rivalry. Steal at half court and I bust my tail down the court, turn the corner and sprint to the lane. Defender, also sprinting at full speed, hits the dribbler's arm and trips and comes headfirst at me about thigh high. I manage to leap, tuck my 45 year old legs under me, and we miss each other. While in the air, I tweet, manage a 180 turn to land on both feet with a fist in the air and the bird dog out.
No fan comments. Just a standing ovation.

Similar sitch for me but the defender hits my heel as I'm hauling @ss downcourt. My immediate thought was "there goes the rest of my season" - I spit the whistle, dove forward, slid about 10 feet or so, jumped up, gave the thumbs up to my parnter & continued the game. Actually got a nice hand out of it, along with a nice floor burn on my forearm and a hole burned in the knee of my pleated sansabelts.
