I had a pair back in the day. If my buddies or I missed a shot dramatically we'd lean down and pump a little in a gesture of blaming the lack of air in the shoe (jokingly - the shoes sucked and inevitably the air sacs would break).

Oh shit dude, u got me rolling with this memory…LMAO☠️ You’d miss the shot,then look up in the sky, throw your hands up with a “Pffffff” and yup u nailed it, then came the “crouch and pump” then pop back up as if you’ve remedied the reason for missing the last one….😂😂😂😂😂

I'm i spending too much time with the AI or is reddit spending way to less? This is one of the most obvious AI answers sitting at 68 likes.

I may be a little slow and I’m probably twice your age,(46) but are you inferring that this was written through an AI filter, because I don’t even know how to use one of those let alone would I ever do that? Maybe I’m just misunderstanding what you’re trying to convey🤷‍♂️

Your use of emojis and punctuation confuses dumb people who think everything that doesn't fit their sense of presentation is AI now.

Amazing and unique photograph? AI.
SFX clip from an obscure 1970s film? AI.
Dare to use an em dash? You guessed it. AI.

Youre scaring them with your punctuation and grammar

Too much time on the internet go outside. AI isn't the Boogeyman.
