I’ve got a basketball jones.
I always have — or, at any rate, for as long as I can remember.
What’s a basketball jones?
Ever since I was a little baby, I always be dribbling. In fact, I was the baddest dribbler in the whole neighborhood….
I used to practice hours every single day, for years. Those years of practice molded me in more ways than I could ever quantify: physically, psychologically, philosophically.
People who know me now find my basketball jones hard to believe or reconcile with the cocktologist in me, I am not sure why.
The following is for all the disbelievers — and I say that because it comes up with a certain regularity:
One afternoon not too terribly long ago, I asked my videographer friend Johnny Morehouse if he wanted to make an extra fifty bucks. He said yes. This is a fraction of what came out of that ninety-minute session. The video quality isn’t great, but it’s totally real, totally unscripted, totally un-doctored.
I was trying for a full thirty-minute take without a single mistake, but it didn’t quite happen.

Jesus, hippy!
And what’s that at the 4 min mark of the second vid!?!? Fast fuckin hands whatever it is
I know. It is rather vulgar and disgraceful. Sorry about that.
You mean the one I fucked up? It’s called “Spider Legs.”
It’s actually not as hard as the low-dribble figure-eights and lemniscates, which are a great treat to the cardiovascular system, that is for sure.
Thank you for dropping by!
Still got it!
Well, I wonder, Sam. But would you stand by me at the free-throw line of life?
Holy shit! That is fucking unbelievable! I’ve never seen anyone perform this mighty act! I see where you get your bartending flinging skills. You can see at the end of part 2 the amount of core strength required for this . And the song tells it all.
Holy smoke! Thank you!
Holy something, indeed. Smoke it is, Sir Ray. <insert clip of jim carey's char sayin' smokin')

All you’re proving is that you’re a good ball handler and most of us in the industry knew that already, pal.

What do you mean I already said that. Are you censoring any comments about handling.
