Little Gator

So today was the first day of Little Gator and Individual Billy Donovan Basketball Camps. Yes, they're still called Billy Donovan Basketball Camps even though Billy's going to the Magic. My little brother is attending the Little Gator camp. I got a chance to watch his group for a little while. I was surprised at the number of these kids that are actually good. Hearing those kids trash talk to each other and challenging one another on Gator basketball trivia was pretty funny. I also liked seeing little 7 and 8 year old kids in Under Armour, which I think is hilarious/adorable. If I have a baby boy I'm bringing him home from the hospital in Under Armour. I'll have to talk to them about making a line for newborns.

My brother is pretty good at basketball for a 7 year old, but he's really shy so he doesn't always show his true skills. Anyhoo, his group was playing 5-on-5 and none of the other kids were passing him the ball. I could see him saying, "Pass! Pass!," but they wouldn't. When he finally got the ball I guess he decided he wasn't going to pass it to anyone. He has good ball handling skills, so he kept the ball away from the other kids pretty easily. The other kids were getting visibly annoyed with him. I guess it's all part of learning how to play as a team.
