I admit I was skeptical at first but as I've gotten older I just can't guard these younger guys on the court the way I used to so I was desperate for something that could give me a fighting chance. Now while I did get some strange looks and snide comments at first, once people saw how effective the long sword is they quickly went silent....or maybe they went silent because of the blood loss. Hard to say. In any event, once I started waving that thing around my opponents didn't even bother driving on me. I had the key locked down so hard it made Covid blush. And the great thing about the LS is that if your opponents get cheeky and try for 3 pointers you've got enough range to poke an eyeball out, thus bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase dead eye shooter.

Is this a quote from a movie or book ? :)
