Basketball Star

I think Sam has a future as a basketball star. He certainly has the genes for it. He is consistently in the 90-99 percentile range for height and at least half of my cousins have played college ball. Plus, I can totally see Ben turning into a young Bobby Knight at future AAU basketball tournaments.

Here he is doing some squats to work on his ups:

And practicing his pull ups to work on his upper body strength:

And, of course, working on his handle:

He’s got the faces down. This is his game face:

And this is his Derek Fisher face:

    And this just in from the LA Times’ lead story on the Lakers’ fumbling ways:

    “January 30, already?

    (Yawn)

    OK, how are we doing in the West?

    Second place? Who’s in first?

    SAN ANTONIO?

    We better get to work!”

    And when Sam holds down the post, they are really going to be in trouble..

    REALLY funny…even though the basketball references went over my head I could get the gist!!

    also very sweet tribute to Grandma Trish.

    Compare Sam’s “game face” with Caitlin’s face in the top photo with Grandma Trish. Some definite resemblance going on there! I assume you sent these photos to Pop. Presumably he keeps a file of future players.

    Sam is beautiful!From the look of that Derek Fisher impression, I can tell that Coach Pop really likes him–he only yells at his favorite players!
