The say age is just a number. Yet is sports your age can sometimes define you. I say “sometimes” because this week a video went viral that shows a man giving some high school kids a run for their money.

In a video on Twitter from Trevor Luznak, we get to see the old scrappy “veteran” school a “rookie” in a one on one pick up game in the driveway. These days everyone is taking out their smartphone to make sure that they capture the next big thing.

I wonder if the kids were taking video to see the kid dominate the “ol’ man” on the court or if they new this guy had some Harlem Globetrotter type moves. Either way I am glad the phones were recording this match up.

Hoop Dreams

If you have ever played a sport in high school or with friends you know that feeling of competition. You love it. You try to best your opponent. The older you get the mind may be willing, but the body not so much. Still I believe in mind over matter. You could tell this game meant a lot to the man. He had the knee pads on. His kicks were laced up. To him it was game time. He wanted to show the youth he could still ball. And from the video he didn’t disappoint.

Ball Don’t Lie

As you so in the video the man has mad skills. The man juked the defender right out of his shorts, but he also added some hot sauce by shooting a one-handed backwards shot….THAT WENT IN! As the kids say….ball don’t lie.

Would love to have seen this guy in his prime! He must have made defenders look silly on the court.

We here at Life of Dad salute this guy. He didn’t back down for a challenge and took these kids to school!
