Hoop Hunter Helpful Basketball Tips:

Players who are considered poor shooters should spend extra time in the gym practicing shots that are in their range and that they are allowed to take in games until they develop the much needed muscle memory to be considered a better shooter, good shooter, consistent shooter and or a pure shooter.

Hoop Hunter Helpful Basketball Tips:

A good shot is an open shot. Offenses are designed to get open shots. Players who can't make open shots are considered poor shooters.

A Friendly Reminder from the Bible:

If you (we) remain in me (Jesus Christ) and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my father's glory, that you (we) bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples (an obedient follower [person] of Christ who has chosen not to be ashamed to share the Gospel of Christ). 

John 15:7-8

Something I've Learned As a Parent

After watching several basketball games over the last 22 years, I have finally figured one thing out as a parent. And that is that we should never allow the game and how our children play it (be it good or bad) to become bigger than the love we have for our children.

"Basketball is only a game, it's not life", whether our children excel in it at the level or with the passion that we so desire really doesn't matter. But what does matter is that we love them unconditionally.

In the end, when it's all over, we should hope that they remember that we loved them for who they were and not because they didn't live up to our expectations through athletics.

Signed,

Something I've learned as a parent

Dear God Letter

Dear God,

I've heard that you are real. But for some reason, I can't seem to find you. I've read your word but for some reason I don't fully understand. Are you really who you say that you are?  Each and everyday  there seems to be trouble in my way, but when I call out for your name, I hear nothing. When I arise out of my bed, I pray but it seems like I'm only praying to silence or better still myself. Where are you God and why can't I see you? I work around people who say they are Christians but they seem to dislike and envy one another. My manager treats a hand full of people special but the rest he treats with in justice. Where are you God when I need you? Please reveal yourself to me. I'm lost and living in a sinful world, without you my little light will turn to darkness. Please help me learn to be patient as I wait on you. I have nowhere else to turn but to you lord.

Signed,

Waiting Patiently on the Lord

Humbly Blessed to Know Basketball

‎"I'm not perfect, I just know and understand basketball."

Why Teams & Players Play Down to Their Opponents

Hoop Hunter Helpful Basketball Tips:

Q: Why do teams and players play down to their opponents?
A: Because of a lack of personal, self & team drive and a lack of accountability.
Q: How can we change this?
A: Set team and personal goals and hold each player accountable for their actions during the course of the game. Reward players for their hustle, effort and performance by playing them more. And in some cases a coach might think about giving other players a chance to play if the team and players they have on the court aren't getting the job done.

It's that simple!

It's Not Our Birthday, It's Jesus Christ's Birthday.

Kid's, teenagers & adults, please remember that we celebrate Christmas by honoring the birth of Jesus Christ. On this one day, we are to acknowledge Him and not ourselves. So for those who are only interested in how much money is spent on yourselves or how many gifts you're getting, remember that it's not your birthday.

On Christmas Day, we sh

ould celebrate the birth of Christ. Our birthday will be celebrated when it's our turn. Remember the reason for the season! If we're not careful, the day after Christmas will send many americans back into their own personal recession. Please don't become the borrower who's enslaved to the lender. Proverbs 22:7

What is your personal gift to Christ this season?

My gift: To continue to follow Him and do by best to live my life in a God pleasing way meanwhile not being afraid to share the Gospel of Christ.

1989 Portsmith Invitational Tournament

I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW:

In 1989, after completing my final year of college at UNT, I was chosen as one of the 60 top college players in the country to participate in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (PIT) which was held in Portsmouth,Va.
During that weekend event, players were divided and placed on teams for 3 days as NBA coaches, general managers and NBA scouts sat court side and evaluated our talent and play prior to the NBA Draft to see who they might want to draft or invite to camp. It was there that I met the great Red Auerbach-former Coach of the Boston Celtics during a formal dinner that weekend.
