Shot of a lifetime

The night had started so normal. I had went to the Clippers and Lakers game for a night of fun and to relax. I was having a beer with my buddy when they announced a seat number to come down and shoot a half court shot for $75,000.

When they said the number my buddy started yelling telling me it was my seat. I couldn't believe it. There was no way it was my seat. Nothing like that ever happens for me. An usher came and took me to the tunnels below the stands to explain the rules to me. I understood and was not at all confident with my ability to make this shot. I really hoped I wouldn't embarrass myself out in front of 20,000 people.

As I was led out onto the court I could see the players standing watching me. Oh great this will be even more embarrassing I thought to myself while trying to not let it show on my face. The announcer handed me the ball and I dribbled it a few time. I took a deep breath and then just heaved the ball towards the hoop. That was the longest few seconds until it hit the rim of the basket and fell into the net. I stood there in shock as the stadium erupted in cheers. It was amazing! I remember seeing Blake Griffin coming running at me but then everything else seems hazy.

It was some time later when I started to come to with a few people leaning over me saying “Blake are you ok?”

“Huh? Blake? Who is Blake?” I say groggy to the people.

“He must have got a concussion when he ran into that guy and knocked him over” the guy said.

That is when things started to come to. I felt bigger than before. I slowly got up and realized I was looking down at everyone and then saw my old body there to.

I quickly pulled him off to the side. “Man what the hell happened. I am in your body” I said to him.

“Mr. Griffin are you ok? You hit me pretty hard.” He said looking at me like I was crazy.

I have no idea what was happening. The real Blake didn't seem to remember being himself. I remembered being me yet this body just felt right.

The trainers took my old body from the locker room leaving me alone now. I slowly lifted my jersey to see my abs below it. I got hard just seeing them. This had to be a dream I moaned as I touched them.

I sat on the bench the rest of the game watching and kept looking back at my old body. I really started to hope this wasn't a dream. Sure my face wasn't the best but I was a great player and have a great body now. That $75,000 shot ended up being a shot of a lifetime.
