Basketball with MJ and Pip
I had a dream last night that I was playing basketball. I couldn’t quite dunk the full 10 foot rim so I asked my friends to lower it by ONE inch. My friends (in the dream) were Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. Totally normal…
Duh.
They were giving me shit for lowering the rim but I told them that they had NO IDEA what I had just gone through in the last 3 years.
“I haven’t even walked much less dunked. Pain like you’ve never imagined… everyday…”
MJ asked me what was wrong and I told him that my saphenous nerve got pushed into my knee cavity and healed there. Making it impossible to weight bare. They said “ohhhh yeah. The saphenous nerve can be a bitch”. I was in shock as they told me about someone they knew someone with the same injury one time.
“Not just am I gonna dunk. I need y’all to record it. On my phone. And at the end of the video I want y’all to pan back to you two. And wave at the camera. My people won’t believe it … me dunking… and y’all recording it.”
I backed up, approached the rim and dunked. Nasty style too. They finished the video with their reactions.
I woke up.
Birthday today. Never been less enthusiastic about a birthday. Never been in so much pain waking up on a birthday. But I woke up on top of the world from that dream. Lol. Pretty wild ass dream to have.
Talking to my brother tonight he asked, “how old you are again?? 45?? Oh that’s Jordan’s comeback number this is a comeback year bro! Let’s get it!”
Yeah that’s right.
My come back year.
Starts today.
Surgery tomorrow.
45
By the way… they never lowered the rim.
