  • Streetball is the raw and raucous version of pro basketball. Games run short and sharp, players sub in and out, and trash-talking is encouraged.
    Beijing’s Dongdan basketball courts are the spiritual homeland of streetball in China. For 10 Sundays every summer, players sweat it out for bragging rights and street cred in the now famous Sunday Sunset tournaments.
    And the man who started it all is 35-year-old Wu You, who’s been spreading the streetballing hype across China for the past 15 years.

I remember cars getting rocked daily in hs when I passed by the assailents or predators were jose arana police Fullerton. Christopher torres Fullerton bullie who terrorized oc now driving ups truck. Many other guys I remember shaking my head in tears as I exercise,walked,etc bumping my iPod,cd player,walkman,etc listening to enigma,trance,etc working out I was in the ap classes tennis player,bball player,football,baseball,etc I had a set mind a routine. This sacrafice of exercising studying been in that mantra. I remember I was highly motivated by smarties before me like Michael dell,jack ma,Elon musk,bill gates,ballmer,etc I graduated from. The best school in orange county or top. I was constantly channeling my negerive energy ,etc into everything I did. The result was dunking in hs, tearing it up in tennis, rocking cars, running miles,etc I read books all day studied in the libraries. Did all my body could.i remember I met nba players they worked out with me. Practicing synergy from self help books mark madsen coach nba player larry bird coach hof. While orange told larry he shot 10k I did 12k. Also with teddy atlas.ufc fighters ,etc they made me feel hardcore. Or safer. By the time I graduated went on to play I practiced my jim rohn book Brian tracy "goals" to at least land 1 year contracts as many sports possible boy did the lord answer I went to any recognition events I could in the sports placed top 3 many times entered poetry contest locally,usa,workdwide entered around 500 minimum got top 3 In about 450 of them. Ppl would swarm me and buy my poems,rights to poems,etc examples "graduation" friends forever by vitamin c. Love the song listens to it million times played it for grads hs and college. I was shocked even had my poems stolen they got caught suspects Wes Watson. Andy ruiz jr. They despised me the buyers crooked celebrities prayed to God. The cops were used to it always robert dunn and don barnes sheriff they been around 20,30 years also joaquin jack garcia 30 years ny jewel thief and fbi most prollific along with Michael r. McGowan same thing and donnie brasco and Joe pistone same thing they knew my stories. Help them out too. Here's example of my routines for sports boxing: sprints,walk,run,hiking,tai chi and boxing.

Via programs,volunteer,shelters,etc did a similar channel to my friend "mr Beast" and other top gurus giving helping etc cameras rolling,broadcast,news,youtube,etc had my ups and downs but always focused on Jesus christ and christianity and had accountability team all bosses above and senior pastors,etc. It gave me joy to my heart brought tears to my eyes made me smile like Jesus christ. Felt that " holy spirit" vibe many celebs were not christian so it was war in heaven I felt like pope Rick or st michael weird.... Even worked for vatican 16 months. Free they just gave me food drink shelter . Think I broadcasted it to my fans followes workdwide had near 1 billion worldwide mainly female or gay males. To all public. Hope you do the same and realize god is in charge and expect greater gifts in heaven then here. Spiritual battle is happening. And we are all during it
