I gotta love the big ol’ brothas on the basketball court. There are always a lot of tall Black men on the basketball courts at my gym. Some brothers, however, are both tall and wide, and there’s something kind of awesome about those Black men who don’t let size keep them out of the game. This guy wasn’t necessarily sprinting up and down the court, but from his spot under the basket, he was a killer at getting rebounds. He wasn’t trying to earn a triple double, but he pulled off a single double with much flair.
