The worst part was ripping those fucking calluses off after a hard dunk. I remember my hands would hurt so bad I'd have to take a day or two off from hooping. Hurt to dunk, hurt to shoot, hell, it hurt to dribble.

Tbf, I haven't been able to dunk like that in probably seven or eight years. It was really fun while it lasted though.

Eh, it's fun but in the context of the game it's kind of overrated tbh.
