Hoop Dreams #2478

Had a dream last night ..... the kind I remember long after awakening.
And historically accurate too.
Well other than the fact that I'm 25-30 years older now.
Reffing youth basketball and during breaks in the action, shooting jump shots beyond the 3-point line.
Thinking back, not the most professional of actions taken while hoping for integrity and credibility for a referee.
But attempting to wow the spectators. 
Not that the basketball always went in the hoop. But I had my moments.
It was a 60/40 proposition for me. Or maybe closer to 40/60 or even 30/70 if truth be spoken here.
But confidence is important and occasionally jump shooters get on a roll. 
And in this dream, I was red hot.
Typically, my hoop dreams tend to go in the opposite direction.
Where there's a great deal of effort but I can't make a thing. 
Which some of my trash talking old hoop buddies will tell you is the real reality.
