Called it a day. Last friday I thought it was a good idea to engage in full contact aka no rules bball for 3 hours straight with a strained groin busted shoulders as well as the fact that the last time I played was about 7 years ago.needless to say my knees are cranky from all the jumping which is not too bad given that I can still touch the rim. My r shoulder is sore from all the shooting and blocking and theres something wrong with my clavicle ,may have strained someting in the upper chest. Groin is also sore as hell. On the upside I still have a pretty decent jump shot, good vert for my size and i still got game. Theres also the double digit blocks which is great given im a shorty.
