The Comeback

I had resorted to spending my day chilling out after a long night of Ring of Fire sake shots… until I got the call. The call that would make the beginning of the Tiffany Dynasty Comeback. My friends needed a fifth player for their rec basketball game today or they would have to forfeit and miss their chance of playing in the playoffs. Would I play for their team? HELL YEAH!! I had not joined their team full-time this year due to my hectic travel schedule but would drop anything and everything to hoop it up.

I set the plan for the team. No subs. We were going to press, full-court. I mocked up a couple plays on the back of a bill I had in my purse with a purple Sharpie. If all else fails, I told them, just give me the damn ball. We have to REFUSE to LOSE. My friends look at my half-crazed face with a sense of fear in their eyes. They knew I meant biz-nass today.

It was beautiful. Jumpshots. Rebounds and put-backs. Three pointers. My signature up-and-under move. Draining free throws. Even my left-handed hook shot came back. At the end of the game, I had scored 38 points and had 16 rebounds (according to my personal scorekeeper in the stands).

Funny thing is- back in the diz-ay, my high school high score was only 37 points. That means I set a personal record today, hungover and wooping up on some innocent ladies in a middle school gym.

I think I might need to contact an agent- this officially makes me the hottest free agent recruit for the Charleston County women’s basketball rec league.

**As a followup to this... for those of you dying to know if the Lagerhead Tavern team won today... we won by 3 points!!! Hurray!!!!
