Video: A new form of basketball for your athletic enjoyment
Like most basketball fans
I enjoy getting a few runs in at my local court. But sometimes
it’s all just too much. Do you ever get tired of the running
and the dribbling
and the contact? If so
then I have the perfect sport for you!Courtesy of Matt Harris

I present you with “inner tube water basketball
” the next sports craze sure to sweep the nation. All you need is a decent-sized pool
eight innertubes
and a strong desire to have a great time. Virtually anyone with a sizable pool and a serious inner-tube budget can play!According to Mr. Harris
“the game flows pretty much similar to regular basketball
” which should be pretty obvious considering you wear an innertube and have to paddle around water. There’s also a no-dunking rule
which should appeal to anyone who thinks modern basketball is too focused on athleticism and highlights. In fact
I have it on good authority that the one and only John Wooden was all set to endorse this new sport before his unfortunate passing in June.I heartily endorse getting in on the ground floor of this sport. The next time you’re at your local swimming hole
suggest a fun game of inner tube water basketball to your friends. If they have no idea what you’re talking about
just say “it’s like water polo
but with a basketball hoop
and also you wear an innertube.” Then they’ll know exactly what you mean!
