Alright, folks, let’s talk about this “Victor Wembanyama Express Lane” thing I’ve been messing with. I’m no expert, just a guy who likes to tinker, and I stumbled onto this and figured I’d share my, uh, journey.
So, first, I dug around for some info on this Wembanyama kid. Turns out, he’s a HUGE deal in basketball. I mean, seriously HUGE. Like, redwood tree huge. I watched some highlight reels, and my jaw just dropped. The way he moves for his size? Crazy.
Then I got to thinking: How can I, a regular dude, even pretend to get on that level? Obviously, I can’t magically grow a foot taller. So, I started brainstorming about what I could control.
My “Express Lane” (Such As It Is)
- Footwork Drills: I found some basic basketball footwork drills online. Nothing fancy, just ladder drills, cone touches, that kind of stuff. I figured if I can’t be tall, I can at least try to be quicker on my feet.
- Shooting Practice: I started hitting the local court more often. No crazy trick shots, just working on my form, trying to get that consistent release. I even have been shooting free throws, and my goodness I used to suck really bad, but it is getting better.
- Watching the Pros: Okay, this one’s easy. I just watched more basketball. But instead of just enjoying the game, I tried to pay attention to the little things. How do the guards create space? How do the big men position themselves in the post? It is amazing what tiny things you can pick up.
- Eating better: I swapped my love of cokes with water. Now I just drink water, and I do feel much better. I also started to eat more eggs, and I am slowly putting away those potato chips.
Now, am I going to be the next Wembanyama? Absolutely not. But I feel like I’m making some progress. My handles are a little tighter, my shot’s a bit smoother, and I’m not tripping over my own feet as much. It’s baby steps, but it’s something.
The biggest takeaway? It’s not about magically becoming someone else. It’s about finding those small things you can improve and putting in the work. Even if you’re just a regular person like me, you can still get a little bit better every day. And hey, that’s kinda cool, right?
