Hot shot

By Mike Hall, February 3, 2022

A not so young cowboy was using an abdominal machine this morning at the gym.

A hundred and fifty feet away was the gymnasium and a fella was shooting free throws.

I began thinking to myself…’why is Steph Curry here at 24 Hr. Fitness?’

Sitting for 10 minutes watching with amusement, Steph swished at least fifty shots
in a row before finally missing.

Getting up and walking to the gym, I was expecting to request an autograph
from the NBA Star.

Instead, I introduced myself to Jim who seemed to be in his fifties
with salt and pepper hair.

‘It’s nice to see you’re human’, I said.

Jim said that after recent knee replacement surgery, shooting free throws was
all he could currently do on the court.

I told him that his surgeon and Steph Curry would be very impressed.
