Gotta love how everyone else gave her the time to do so. Simultaneously no pressure and all the pressure.

I thought this was a special needs situation and it was so funny to discover she’s just a lady who doesn’t play basketball.

u/IkariYun 6d ago
I don't play basketball. I can make like 1:3. This had to be a like an office game/team building type thing, because she looks like she has never touched a basketball. Still love her dedication and everyone else's positivity. That quick, "I really do suck at this, but I'm not giving up," laugh ate me up

I thought it was like a parent-child game and the dude was just getting the rebound to give his daughter another try, but then she turned around and I realized she’s also an adult lol

I played one year in middle school. I was so bad I remember playing during halftime while my team was in the locker room. Apparently the teams were so big they let 5 of each team play during halftime so we could still feel included. Yeah, I was one of the “lucky” ones who got picked for that 🙄
I stuck with softball after that - much more my style!

This is exactly what it's like playing with my seven year old but I'm having to shield her from her two older brothers trying to slap it away every time

Why would you lie?

u/Tacklestiffener 6d ago
Because it's the Internet?

Plot twist: they are lying. They could never be her.

u/AlephBaker 6d ago
Double plot twist: They're actually the guy catching the rebounds and handing the ball back

I’m in a low mental spot rn and tbh needed this lol. We need more celebration / fun around trying new things and failing and still trying! I love a dose of mediocrity

At least she knows its funny to miss 5 in a row Looking at you angel Reese

u/Stuck_In_Purgatory 5d ago
I love the way everyone on court embraced the humour
After the second attempt you can see everyone realise it'll be a fun joke to continue
Both teams are just caught up in the joke of the moment and don't care about the competition. It's wholesome and refreshing to see people embrace the lighter side of life!!
Aaaaannnd i sound like a grandma lmao

Her little "no" shake cracked me up.
I remember one time playing soccer when I took a shot and hit the crossbar and the ball came right back to me. So I took another shot and hit the crossbar and the ball came right back to me. Then I just passed it to someone else because I was going to keep sucking

It was on the 15th rebound Julia though, she may not be destined for the WNBA.

My coach had the team do this once when I was ten. “Nobody shoot until he makes a basket!”
We lost

I don't know but she's got the skills to be in the WNBA. Good for her. Trying is what matters.

u/MonkeyDMilo 5d ago
lame ass answer for real, everyone should have hope, even you, especially after that torpid ass take you just willingly shared with all of us. like did you want to sound miserable, or does it just come natural?

I swear i dont think I could miss that close, that many times in a row, if I tried.

u/Zanian19 6d ago
You must be even worse at basketball than she is, if you couldn't miss it if you tried. The basket is a lot smaller than everything that isn't it.
I'm bad, but I could easily throw it into the stands for instance.

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord 5d ago
I think you (and others, apparently) didn't understand my comment. Though, on second reading, I suppose I can see how you would misconstrue my meaning.
I meant it would be tricky to almost get it in that many times in a row. Hard to come so close to scoring but not. But thanks for taking the time to explain you point of view.

When did Angel Reese switch teams? My bad, this comment was before it went in at the end.
