On the back of Isaac Okoro's 32 points, the first thirty-burger of his young and promising NBA career, the Cavaliers took a vastly superior Suns team to overtime. The overtime didn't quite go as planned, with the Suns outscoring the Cavs twenty to four in those five minutes of bonus time, but it was a victory just to make it to overtime in the first place. Just not the kind of victory that shows up in the season stats as a victory.
Okoro didn't score in the overtime - it's possible he was hampered by the calf cramp he experienced while converting on an and-one layup with a minute to go in regulation. As somebody who regularly experiences leg cramps while playing pickup basketball (they don't call me "Mr. Cramps" for nothing), I know full well that you might be able to get back up and run around after the initial cramp dissipates, but you're not going to be 100%. You'll be running around on the court with the knowledge that a quick change of direction or a leap for a rebound could aggravate the cramp and send you to the ground crying.
In fact, cramps have become such an issue for me that I've started taking bananas with me to pickup games. Everybody knows that bananas and the potassium contained within them have some kind of crazy medicinal properties when it comes to curing cramps. I'm actually surprised that Okoro didn't have trainers running out to him brandishing bananas when he went down with a visible knot in his calf.
I actually keep a banana in my shorts at all times when I'm playing pickup, so that if I feel a cramp coming, I can just reach in and pull out my banana for a quick bite. One or two bites is all I need and then I'm good to go, and usually I can fit in a few bites while other players are arguing about a foul or whatever. However, you can imagine that a banana in your pocket can get crushed pretty easily by other players, for example if they're backing you down in the post, so I've taken to taping the banana to the inside of my thigh. That way it doesn't get mushed by the incidental contact that happens constantly in basketball. I hate mushy bananas, they gross me out on a primal level. I can't allow my secret special cramp banana to get mushed.
Modern agriculture is awesome because it has resulted in gigantic bananas being available for mankind's purchase and consumption. Through selective breeding, modern bananas make the bananas of yesteryear look totally pathetic. This is perfect for me because I don't want to be worrying about managing multiple bananas. I just want one very large banana that I can tape along the inside of my left leg right by my crotch area.
For some reason, people have been giving me weird looks at the park lately. Maybe they're just jealous of the huge banana that I'm proudly packing in my tight running shorts (I prefer running shorts to basketball shorts because they give me more freedom of movement). I also get more stares from women when I have the banana with me. It's like they can't stop looking at it. Not sure why. It's just a banana. You can buy one for yourself at the store if you want one so bad, geez.
