Mike Makes 18

7 06 2008

Looking back, I wish I could have made a two-pointer instead of a three.  That way I could have a secured my place in Crunch history with 19 consecutive free throws.  I think I will be alone in that upper echelon for a long time.

The first eight were easy.  The middle seven were tough as I knew what I was about to achieve in front of Edwin’s envious eyes.  The last three free throws were some of the cleanest I have made and I smiled on each of them.

Instead of the red line being the starting place, I should start the Unlimited Free Throw Crunch game at the line and see if I can make 21 in a row crumpling Edwin into a heap of tears.

With Edwin’s three month vacation coming up, he can work on his free throws which seem to damn him most every Crunch game. Maybe Shaq could work with him to at least get him to that level.

The win came with the assistance of Jonas Reyes, who combined points with Berger. The win marked the first Crunch title for Berger.
