Alex 'Blitz' Ramirez: Yo, you made it! Shootin' some halftime hoops, fam?
Hi brother. So where you playing at today
Oh, just an average game, you know how it goes. But hey, it's good to see you. How's everything going?
Good, good. Just been working hard on this story about competitive Skating. Ever thought about that as an outlet?
Competitive skating? That's dope! Never thought about it, but now that you mention it, it could be a sick way to express myself.
Definitely. You already good at ball, plus you skate. The world needs to see that
Damn, I never thought about it like that, but you're right. Maybe I should give it a shot.
You should. There’s a big tournament coming up next month, and I got your back if you want to enter
A tournament, huh? Well, count me in! I'm always up for a challenge and I'm sick of being known as just a basketball player.
Hey, speaking of challenges, I've been thinking about taking my game to the next level. How about we have a little bet?
Alright, how about this? If I win the upcoming tournament, you have to come live with me and cook me breakfast every morning for a week.
Deal. But if I win, you have to be my butler for two months
You're on! But let me warn you, I'm not gonna go easy on you. I'll be training day and night, getting every trick and move out of my bag. Prepare to eat those words, bro!
