Stroking Spank's Ego

Hey friends!

I don't know how many of you read the 'Who Plays Sports' thread from a while ago, but in it I explained about my playing Basketball and how a severe ankle injury kinda put a downer on where I was hoping to get.

Anyway, tonight my team had a match in the North Wales Basketball Association Handicap cup. We were playing Mold Magic who had a 27 point head start.

Before the match a couple of representatives from the League gathered both teams together to make an announcement. They had a trophy to give to the MVP (Most Valuable Player) for 2002...

Guess what?

It was me!

Yup, I was presented with the MVP for 2002 tonight and I'm very proud of that. Especially considering many years ago (after my injury) I was told by doctors I would not be able to play basketball at the same level that I once did.

I'm not really sure what I'm trying to say here, other than the fact I wanted my PS2Fantasy friends to know, but if someone ever tells you can't do something - ignore them. I've worked at my game since my injury, and today I was rewarded. It can happen, but more importantly it does happen!

So if there is anything any of you guys wanna do - you can do it - don't let people tell you otherwise!

And just in case anyone is interested, despite me getting 31 points tonight, we still got beat - a 27 point deficit was just too much to make up!

- S
