Playing sports before the cameraphone era unappreciation thread

Even though it was true, I was HOLLERING reading that shyt

The only reason I know my dad don’t lie to me about his sports stories is because I’ve had other people come up to me when they find out who son I am and they’ll tell me the same stories he did so the shyt adds up. When I was younger sometimes I’d be at my dad stories but then other people around town would tell me the same thing then I’d be like “aight dad I guess you wasn’t lying “

People still don’t believe that I pulled off an east bay funk dunk mid game... the goal was 6ft but still I was about 12/years old at the time.

My pops got a picture of him from his yearbook blown up on his wall like a poster of him "walking in the air". Dunking was outlawed so he just had to drop it in. (I've heard all these stories 1000000 times)

I had one vhs tape of me showing out from high school, took it to college with me... Didn't even make it out of the freshman year. It's gone

It's two nikkas on here that can vouch for me tho I was kinda nice

 

[mozichrome]

my dad, uncles supposedly were them guys back in high school on the court. i was told that
dont see 1 trophy or anything. but they were some ballers

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

Man i aint got pics of shyt from back in the day. I never really took pics or wanted to be in pics like that. Wish my school took Field day pics at least smh.
Random, but I wish i had pics when i had braids lol

 

[JordanWearinThe45]

And half the time, niqqas be lying.

i have the misfortune of having an extreme photographic memory. Niqqas try to lie to me and Im like

Half?! shyt 80% of the time is more like it. Mahfukkas always gonna put some sauce on some shyt especially if there's no evidence
