It’s funny how time works sometimes. Well, it’s not really funny, because time is predictable in its linearity and duration: one second is one second, and this minute will always take place after the preceding minute, and never before. What I’m trying to say is, Brunco Caboclo scored seventeen points in this game, which would be a career high in points if you ignore the fact that he just scored 24 last game. Suddenly, this seventeen-point game is less exciting, even though it’s the same video that I would have made had this been his true career high.
In that timeline, I would have written a funny yet heartwarming story in the description where Bruno, while sitting at his dining room table using WhatsApp to flirt with big-booty Brazilian girls, is visited by the spirits of both Nene and Leandro Barbosa. After Bruno gets over his initial fright, he speaks excitedly to them about what it’s like to represent Brazil both in America and international competition.
While Nene’s ghost stands around and looks uncomfortable, Barbosa somberly tells Bruno that the people of Brazil are looking up to him as the face of Brazilian basketball. Then the two ghosts merge as one. Bruno doesn’t understand the symbolism of this act until it’s explained to him: Bruno, if he reaches his potential can be like Nene and Barbosa combined into one player. He can have the inside-scoring power, tenacious rebounding, and huge dunks of Nene combined with the speed, grace, and shooting of Barbosa.
When the two ghosts leave, Bruno realizes he has tears in his eyes as he whispers, “thank you”. When he goes to bed his normal bed sheets have been replaced by Brazilian flags or something. The end.
That’s what I would have written had this been his career high. But it wasn’t so you don’t get to read it.
