Date of Shot: 18 October 2018
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Court: Parc de la Barceloneta
So this was possibly one of the best days of this adventure so far.
After a late Barcelona night, I woke up early, jumped on a bus, and made my way to the famous Barceloneta beach where I was told there was a basketball court waiting. I was not disappointed.
Barceloneta beach itself is a sight to behold — there were many surfers and runners and folks working out at the outdoor gym taking advantage of the slightly overcast day. I made my way to the court which was large and certainly not lacking in views.
I shot around for a while, made a few shots and was about to call it when the three guys shooting around at the other end of the court asked me if I wanted to play. What business do I have walking around with a basketball if I’m not going to play a little pickup game in Spain? I jumped in.
These guys were great and I had such an incredibly good time playing with them. After a couple of games, I decided to call it before it started raining and I asked them to snag a shot for me.
Usually I only post the one I make, but I didn’t realize until after that I had some killer commentary on this footage, and sometimes to count the makes you have to miss a few first!
Many thanks to Teo, Cesar and Tomas. This was such a fun day.
I then proceeded to walk on the beach, put my toes in the water, and get poured on heading back to the hostel.
10/10.
I waited a long while to post this, as I’ve been very caught up in the adventure of it all, but Paris will be following tomorrow. I am already in Brussels and have made my shots, now I’m just catching you all up. :)
