My Best- Earlier this school year at PE I made like 7 straight 3s on 7 possessions. This was playing 5 on 5 full court with upperclassmen guarding me.
My Worst- Same situation on another day. I get a rebound and am running the court when the other teams player jumps in front of me trying to stop the fast break. I get past him since I had the angle on him and casually go to lay up the ball . I raise up my right arm and all of the sudden my ball was in the 10th row of the bleachers. I got the shite blocked out of me.

Worst-Finishing 2nd in 5th,6th,7th, and 8th in AAU basketball every year sucked arse.

Whale Shoes.
I only have a worst. I always had speed and heart but didn't grow until college. 1st chair trumpet, however, wasn't getting me any chics. Though having no tangible skills at the sport I tried out for junior high basketball.
My folks, hard working and supportive, clearly saw this flawed plan through the kitchen window as I launched brick after sad brick at our neighbor's driveway hoop.
"I need some Air Jordans to try out" I begged. In reflection, what seemed cruel at the time was, in fact just great parenting, not to mention a prudent decision if they were to put food on our family's table. And so we went to Montomery Ward.
There, in what seemed like a brightly lit gulag were the only high tops that made any real sense, to them anyway. Either I can't remember the brand, or I've just buried it deep inside-but they were a perfectly good Nike knockoff. Right down to the swoosh...except to avoid copyright infringement, the desingers didn't include the hook...and it looked like a comatose f#%king whale on the side of my shoe.
To summise: not only did I have no shot, leap or useful height, I had the ocean's fattest mammal on my shoes, and swiftly... and unmercifully got the nickname "Whale Shoes".

Best- Knocking down 5 threes in the 4th to help my team win, for playground ball.
Worst- Sending the ball to the free throw line in a game for school on a wide open layup

In 8th grade, we are playing a team from Houma and Lionel Wallis (future LSU receiver) is pressing us by himself. Three minutes into the game we still have not got the ball past midcourt and we are losing something like 24-0
