Street ballin'

So I'm fighting the ongoing battle of keeping myself entertained til Sunday, when all my people come back to town. For the most part, I'm losing miserably (why else would I be posting here?). But tonight browsing YouTube I temporarily hit the fucking jackpot.

Most people who know me know that I've been a huge AND1 mixtape stan for years. Between the ridiculous cross-overs that break all of the rules in normal basketball, the insane alley-oop dunks, Duke Tango going nuts, motherfuckers breaking out hilarious dance moves in the middle of the games, and the onlookers running wildly on the court (arguably the best part), I find myself fiendin' for these videos like the most potent crack. If I wasn't careful I could literally burn countless hours of my busy life watching them.

I've posted here a treat for your viewing pleasure. This is a mix made by some rando on the internets featuring the illest AND1 OG, Rafer "Skip to my Lou" Alston. He now plays point guard for the mediocre Houston Rockets, but he years ago he was a wonder on the mixtape scene. This dude literally does things with a basketball that I never could've imagined. Nullus.

EDIT: This blogger site is gay so unfortunately I couldn't post the video. But don't be lazy and click the stupid link. You won't regret it.
