Things we've seen

[Mark Padgett]

I've never been embarrassed on the court or anywhere else for that matter. You see, to be embarrassed, you have to care what other people think of you.

A few years ago, I had a game and we were lined up to shoot two. This was when the trail official still administered free throws. I went to hand the ball to the boy when his lunchtime burritos kicked in. You could hear it all over the gym.

My partner yelled, "That's flagrant, er, I mean fragrant". The kid's coach yelled, "Don't give him the ball so hard". One of his teammates said, "I just looked over at your girlfriend. She's leaving".

I took the ball back and pretended to wipe it off. The crowd cracked up.
