### 5/5 — Changed my life

*2020-03-27*

All my childhood dreams of becoming a BBall Star have come true. I would wake up in the middle of the night accidentally kicking my wife in the head as I was dreaming of doing killer crossovers as Allen Iverson is lying on the floor after I broke his ankles. This app has cured my obsession and now I am a free man.

I pull up this game whenever I'm waiting and need to kill time... waiting for the train, waiting for our table at dinner, waiting for my wife to finish shopping. 

If you're a basketball fan and do a lot of waiting, then be like me and download this game now!
