Love this story. You were blessed to have such a close group of friends to play ball with through your life. I too played hoop with high school friends through the 80's, 90's & early 2000's. We played in North Hollywood every Saturday morning from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Afterwards, we all went to Henry's Tacos on Vineland and caught up with our personal lives. Those days were special.
