Old Man's Got Game (sort of)

We just finished a 3 on 3 basketball tournament at school. We would get 2 - 3 games completed at lunchtime, and after about three weeks there were two teams left standing. I happened to get picked up by the team that eventually won. I poured in 3 of our 17 baskets…my contributions were defensive, synergistic, intangible. My footwork was comparable to that of a young athlete half my age. It didn’t hurt that the best player in the school was on my team.

I really used the tournament as a platform to advertise mathematics.
