Know what I like the best about Hoopfest? two things actually. Little girls in pink t-shirts that have their names painted in glitter on them; the little girls have ribbons in their hair and cute pink high tops and wear little matching team shorts that have ponies or barbies or cool things on them. I never have actually seen any of them play but I love to see their teams as they trail someone's mother up the sidewalk on their way to ? yogurt at Tom and Jerry's? The other thing I LOVE is all the people from the Rez who come to town to play and to watch. I*love*these*guys! They just play. Maybe a foul here, a bump there okay fine. Reset. Just play. Their groupies stand and watch, silent, not missing a thing. If I could play basketball, I'd adopt their demeanor rather than those idiot wannabes with their pricey shoes, tats and swagger.
