73-Year Old Makes College Basketball Team



After seeing the headline on Msnbc yesterday during the presentations, I had to check this out. Just hearing that a 73-year old is still playing basketball amazed me, but the factt hat he's actually playing for a college team is phenomenal. After watching this video, I came to the conclusion that nothing is impossible. People were probaly trying to tell Mink that he had no way in hell of ever making the team, but here he is, 73, and hes playing with people 50 years younger than him. I also laughed when they talked about him going to parties, and how he would slide downhill. Asking his wife if he could go was priceless. I really hope people that see this get inspired and never give up their passions, no matter how old they are.

That's pretty ill dude. I hope I'm still kicking 20 year-olds ass down the mountain on a snowboard when I'm 75.
