Yeah, I know this one is totally out-of-the-box, but that's what this blog is about. Hear me out...
I used to enjoy watching the Pacers. Remember, I'm from Indiana, and I was a kid before the rise of Peyton Manning and the debacle that was (is?) Ron Artest. Basketball was still a way of life here. Make-A-Wish even invited me to meet the Pacers one night. It was pretty cool. Isaiah Thomas promised to vote for me if I even run for political office. I delivered a love letter to Sam Perkins from one of my teachers. Reggie Miller bent down to talk to me, and in so doing stuck his butt directly in the face of my friend. (The mascot kept wiggling his own butt at my friend the rest of the night.)
Anyway, the Pacers are finally doing well again! And my sister is a huge fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder. As such, we've been watching a lot of basketball. The other day, we watched the Thunder cream the Mavericks, and Jason Kidd looked diminutive next to Backpack (Kevin Durant), Mohawk (James Harden), and Booty Tooch (Derek Fisher). I decided then that it would be awesome to be as tall as or taller than a basketball player. Hence, taking a piggyback ride on a basketball player.
Besides, I'm sick of a wheelchair being my only mode of transport.
