7 pax entered the Lions Den as a light mist fell around the feet of Aslan(d) . During a recent conversation with Goose YHC got worked up into a full lather about the endless potential the Den has for a basketball beatdown. But first there were a few questions to consider:
1. Could we work our body , work our body , but make sure we don’t hurt nobody ?
2. Could the DJ turn it up but make sure he dont burn it up?
3. Can we set a pick at the free throw line of life?
4. Will a basketball under our pillow improve our sleep ?
Certainly 5:30 was early to consider deep philosophy but I knew 7 HIgh impact fellows who could help me find the answers…
Roll that bean footage Duke !
Warmup
Standard issue type where YJ talks to his neighbor in stream of consciousness and Enron has form questions.
SSH , IW , WM, AC , CP
Run Cajun Run Mosey to the Bball court then we got down to business.
In December 1891 Dr James Naismith invented an indoor game to keep athletes in peek condition during winter. With a peach basket and a soccer ball he changed the landscape of American sports. Today we will honor his achievement and learn how to earn our respect on the court.
Anker Tribute
Basketball Jones by Cheech and Chong
This may be my all time favorite F3 song to date. The mixture of pain and laughter was beautiful.
3 modes :
Plank up- merkins on basket ball
Al gore – squats on basketballs
LBC- crunch on basketball
NBA Trivia
Add 5 burpees if wrong
Bobby Hurleys /MakTars then a court suicide each round
1/2…6/12 in Jack Webb format
1. Most NBA champ player?
Bill Russel

3. Shaq shoe size ? 23
4. First WNBA player to dunk in a game? Brittany Griner

We only did 1 set of penalty burpees thanks to our man AOL who, on top of being our IT guy , is also an actual walking computer of NBA knowledge. With quiet strength he put the team on his back and saved us from burpees before we could debate ourselves into more pain. Well done!
Song:
Space Jam By Quad City DJs
YHC Continues to be impressed by YJs knowledge of 80s/90s hip hop . Was he accused of insider trading during the preBlast riddle? That’s a matter for my legal team. But by my calculations YJ would have been 18 years old when the song was out and obviously formed him into the baller he is today so all is forgiven.
Side shuffle , slap floor on jam, jump shot on Jam
YHC shared a special moment with Enron as we locked gazes during side shuffle until the slick court mud almost took my life. Tana added several interpretive dance moves that kept our minds off the burning legs. .
To the main event
F3 Knockout
Standard knockout rules with a 5 burpee buy in
3 strikes and you are out for good.
This led to the showdown that no one saw coming but we all needed….
Goose vs Cardinal
The young calf vs the old bull
Priest vs Administration
Man vs Man for all to witness
A battle for bragging rights at the Office of Parish support. It was all in the table.
Cardinal hung tough early with some defensive strategy but in the end Goose found his shot and took the title home.
Mosey back to Aslan(d) for COT and Ronnie prayed us out.
A great privilege to lead you men and have some fun to start the day. If you find yourself afflicted with the basketball Jones , well…now you know the cure.
