this thread is right on point. got home from the mill yesterday to find my son and his friend (Miles) playing "basketball" on the driveway. normally i would be happy to see my son practicing, but to my dismay, the goal was lowered down to 7.5 feet because they wanted to "dunk" on it. no practicing left handed layups. no free throw practice. just flashy, lebron-style "look at me" dunks, on a lowered goal.
i told him that unless he wanted his goal unearthed and sent to his cousin's house, he'd raise it back to 10.00 ft.
going to get a padlock to put on it this weekend.
