Brandon Jennings

The other day I made a trip out to Rowley Park in Gardena, where Milwaukee Bucks star Brandon Jennings was hosting a flag-football game. Jennings has made it big, but has not forgotten where he has come from. BJ and UnderArmour renovated the basketball courts where he started playing in Garden, Ca. He still makes trips back to his hometown and interacts with the community. Jennings and Golden State Warriors star Dorell Wright faced off in this flag-football game. The game was pretty intense. Jennings came up with big plays at wide receiver and safety. While Dorell Wright had a so-so game at QB and safety. Brandon Jennings team won a close competitive game. Me and my friend both had a couple basketballs we had Jennings sign. He just won so he was in a good mood. Wright on the other hand was not happy with losing so we gave him his space. During the game Wright threw an incomplete pass that landed right by my feet. So I picked it up and was getting ready to throw it back to D-Wright who was standing about 25 yards away. I thought to myself I better make a perfect pass in front of the 30 people in attendance. I got off a descent throw if I do say so myself. (LOL). Another cool moment happened when one of Wrights players was running to the endzone and pulled a Desean Jackson (dropping the ball before they get to the endzone in a early celebration attempt). Me and my friend had a perfect view of the endzone line. We could clearly see he dropped the ball well before the endzone. Brandon Jennings came running over to us asking us "was he out. was he out!?".  We hesitated then responded "yea, he was out"
