Double rims of Monroe park
Checked out the Monroe park court today. It was basically a circle with three hoops so shit was lit. Im sure some dope ass three team games have been played fosho. | At surface value it’s a pretty shitty court: it’s not even a regular court, there’s no three point line, no free throw line the ground is cracked and hella uneven, double rims, and those turtle shell ass backboards. | After playing for maybe 2 hours I was able to get past the first impressions and find upsides. Although double rims suck ass they’re great for your jumper. Since they’re so unforgiving you’re really put into a position where you have no choice but to lock in on how to put the ball exactly where it needs to be. I found myself taking many many close shots just really committing the right jump shot to muscle memory. Once you get the stroke down you start going on streaks of just straight swishes every time and it’s fucking awesomesauce. The nets were also had a good swish sound which is always a plus. I also really appreciated the turtle shell backboards. Similarly to the double rims since there’s no corners it’s a lot harder for layups. Practicing layups on it is great because you have to put the ball in ways you wouldn’t normally do on a regular backboard. This really helps to prepare you for performing layups around defenders where you definitely will be forced into an uncomfortable position. The scenery was also very nice. It was in the middle of a neighborhood so it was surrounded by nice homes that all had cool lighting. I absolutely love playing in towns like these it feels so peaceful. | Ultimately, I really enjoyed the court. I spent a lot of the time getting my jump shot down and I’m definitely feeling a lot more confident in it! I also feel that I’m getting a lot better at being able to spin the ball off the board in which is hype. But while it can translate to positive progress in practicing, Its obviously not gonna top a normal regulation rim and backboard. I definitely think I would go back whenever I want to cement the jumper but there’s 100% bigger and better fish out there. Thank you for reading if u did! -2D
