Hoops, the shooting thereof.
He'd finished his shift. He'd picked up Kassi, and she was busy. So was that Ben of hers. No way was he going to call Vincent about this; definitely the kind of guy you wanted to space these things out with, or it could be back to getting snubbed without a chance at a rematch.

He took out a phone number he'd gotten from the Avengers.

"Hey, this is Mac Rider. May I speak to Misha?"

Misha's morning had included his own workout and those of the students he helped when home. He would be the first to say that basketball wasn't exactly his game, but he loved sports in general and wouldn't embarrass himself on a court.

He took a shot from where he stood and ran in to scoop up the ball and dribble it back for another. He watched Mac's warm up with interest.

	As Mac loosens up and shoots, he gets fast, and he gets focused. A chance to really play the sport has an enthusiasm for him that certain members of his family only have for ... well, the sound of their own voices, some might say. Soon, "Okay, awesome. Let's get started. Want to go for ten? 15? Any ground rules? It's your turf." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mutant ball is a little rougher than regular ball," Misha said, rolling the ball from hand to hand. "It's easy when you know the other side can take it, but powers are only used if both sides agree. I don't have a problem it. How about we take it to ten and see how it goes?"

	"Must be nice having plenty of people on hand to make it not pointless," Mac says grinning. "Sounds great." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a good way to teach teamwork," Misha said. "And if you're looking for a real challenge, I can arrange a few matches with some real powerhouses." He grinned and tossed the ball he was holding to Mac. "Away team can take it in first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'd always appreciate the recommendation," he says gratefully. And once Mac gets started, he's not half bad. Moving quickly, though he never takes flight, getting good and focused on the layup. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dad was fond of telling him that he should pay attention to people on other teams as one day he might have to team up with them and knowing their strengths would only help. You also might have to go up against them in the future, and knowing their weaknesses would only help.

Misha moved enough to see if he could make Mac react to feints, and was pleased to see the other guy had serious focus. It would make finding his rhythm easier.

He leaped to catch the ball before it hit the basket and felt himself fall just a bit too much to do more than feel it brush his fingers.

	The shot sinks, and Mac smiles for a moment before he quickly has his eyes on Misha as he gets the ball. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Misha grinned and shifted to keep him in sight. He moved with Mac, ready to slide in and try for the ball. "What's your position on hockey?" he asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mac's got the sheer speed, but he's got a feeling Misha has the edge on reflex. He tries to look for opportunities while keeping an eye on Misha. And answering the question. Right. "Good to watch, but doesn't include the option of playing barefoot." (Reply to this)(Parent)
