Alan vs. A Basketball

While the segment hasn't aired yet, I will go ahead and apologize now. Having Hot Shot Branch from the Harlem Globetrotters on the show... good idea. We had a chance to talk about the team and the new 4 point shot that the Globetrotters have added to the game. Unfortunately, part of the segment consists of Hot Shot trying to teach me a few basketball tricks... bad idea. And for that, I apologize.
I am not good at most athletic endeavors. You'll get a spirited effort from me, but my skills just aren't there. In softball, I may get a hit or two, but I'll usually a butcher in the field. In football, maybe I'll catch a pass and throw a lucky block. But in basketball, my skills are brutal. Most people believe that I'm joking about my basketball ability, but I am truly awful at the sport. It's like the Seinfeld episode, where they refer to George as a "chucker." That's me. If I get the ball, it's going up in the air. Maybe to another player, but more likely at the basket. No guarantee it's going to the intended location, either.
So while I try to mimic the moves, I'm sure Matt has put together a montage of my basketball skills. Enjoy, and remember kids, don't try this at home. To see the video, click here.
