"I haven't been able to slam-dunk the basketball for the past five years. Or, for the thirty-eight years before that, either."

The first time I shot the hook, I was in fourth grade, and I was about five feet eight inches tall. I put the ball up and felt totally at ease with the shot. I was completely confident it would go in. I've been shooting it ever since.
