Poll: Why....
(Vote): You aren't black, idiot.
(Vote): God hates you.
(Vote): The wind probably alters your shot.
(Vote): Just keep practicing OakHill.


My form is perfect, my aim dead on... the pressure applied just enough. Clank. It hits the back of the rim or spins in and out. No matter how much I practice, no matter how good I become, the ball never goes in when it should. I hate my life. I hate this game.. the only game I've played for years but cannot reach the skill level I should. One week of playing CS:S to reach CAL level. 1 month of Starcraft to become C Iccup. 1 day to beat people constantly that have played Mario Kart for years. 1 month to be transferred from JV to Varsity football. Why does the only game I truly love spit in my face.. time and time again..........

If you're missing all of your shots I'm going to assume at least one of these statements is a lie.

I also would like to add I was about 2 inches from being able to dunk (pretty much my ultimate dream) and had attained a 375 lb squat (respectable) but suffered from a disk herniation about 2 months before attaining my goal (I was about 3 inches above the rim at that point and I'm 5'11). It took me about 15 months to recover from the injury but I won't give up. I am OakHill.

You said that every time it hits the back of the rim. Maybe you should let it go with a tiny bit of less power next time >_> My problem is like the opposite of yours. I don't let it go with enough power so it always fall exactly in front of the hoop or bounces off the rim.

This may sound silly but after a while you just KNOW when your shot is going in. This applies to many things like, when you are playing Beer Pong or soccer, and u kick the ball or shoot in and you know your form was perfect for what should be a goal. When I have this feeling in pretty much anything I play it almost always go in, except in basketball where it will spin in and out or just barely graze the back and bounce out. I mean if it goes in and out how can the reason possibly be that I applied to much pressure? When it goes in and out or grazes the back I consider that shot in perfect form and I could have not shot it any better, and it should go in the damn hoop.

First thing I was going to say, although even as Protoss I still highly doubt you reached C in your first month of playing Starcraft without bashing on complete noob players.

The one thing I don't get is why people do the -'name' shit. I mean, we see your name when you post.

And to stay on topic, I voted you're not black.
