Basketball Training Camp, go Hoosiers!

Today was Ben's basketball training camp for his Youth Hoops League. His team is the Hoosiers and he's lucky number 3, because there are 3 kids in our family :)

We got to see the kids run drills and show off a bit today, and Ben is very talented! He was hitting three point shots, and he's four feet tall and weighs 50 pounds soaking wet, and he's got TALENT!




Great shot of Dad seizing the opportunity for a random free-throw.
He made it too :)


The entertainment was Joseph Odhiambo, who holds several world records, including dribbling a basketball for 26 hours, spinning the ball on his finger (4 hours 15 minutes), most free-throws in one minute (48), and most three point shots in one minute (20). There are others, you should google him. He said that after dribbling a basketball for 26 hours he could still feel the ball in his hand when he tried to go to sleep that night. He was very entertaining, and Ben's jaw was on the floor.

He lives in Mesa and is a P.E. teacher, but he is also a great entertainer! Here's a short video of some of his tricks, enjoy!
