2 black dudes there like 30 white people.. black dudes were "trying to dunk", they couldnt even touch the rim.

That's why they were hanging out at the "all white" gym.

lmfao yup.. i can't recall ever being in a gym like that.. usually wherever I go i'm one of only a few white people. One thing I found interesting was how smiley everyone was. For example, people were laughing during the game. After foul calls, people would smile and stuff. People would dribble down the court with a smile on their face...

Normally when I go to a court, games are pretty heated.. lots of hard fouls and occasional face-offs where people are almost going to fight but it's broken up.. The games themselves are very intense, then after the game everyone chills..

Who knows it was just one experience but, it definitely was night & day.

So... you summed up black vs white attitude? That explains a lot.

Article & Video Discussion / Kelly's jump with the ball article

Nice Lance links towards learning the hang powerclean and hang powersnatch.

For me, regarding jumping with the ball, I jump HIGHER with the ball in hand off one leg but definitely lower with the ball in hand off two feet. One of the things I've found out, and Kelly hasn't mentioned, is the fact that with the ball in hand I tend to let the upperbody drop towards the ground quite a bit and basically throwing the center of gravity forward which compromises the jump.

i jump best also up to 3-5mins after a pick up game. sprints/submax jumps.. its all there and it gets your blood flowing better when you're chasing somebody. you can try to mimic the "game" attitude on your drills but that's not as easy or fun or as the real thing.

100% correct.

Just when I said your vert seemed to have stopped, you come in and do this.

Getting that head closer and closer to the rim aren't "we"?

Any ideas why has your vert "suddenly" increased? Any particular reason or just good ol' plain consistency?
