Heavenly Hoopster Gifts

No caption. (Two angels play basketball in heaven. Halo of one forms rim of basketball hoop.)

'Yo! A little help?'

'Well, what do you think of the new BOOYA halo?'

'...You threw the wild pass out of bounds, so you should go to Hell and get it back.'

'Poor Dewey, All his life, he can't jump, Then he dies, goes straight to heaven, and now his wings are too small to dunk,'

"College basketball recruiters are after him."

Before getting a basketball scholarship, Jack worked at a pancake house.

'Wait!... I don't want to take Brady out right now. He's just getting into rhythm.'

'Anything is possible in our great country, son. If an Afro-American can become president, a white man can become a pro basketball player.'

Basketball

Basketball.

'Billy! Set your homework aside and get down here. There's another basketball recruiter here to see you.'

Angel doing the hula hoop.

'My long-range goal is to turn pro and lead the league in product endorsements.'

'Billy - no! Do not ask for his autograph. He'll lose his natural fear of fans, become a nuisance, and then he'll need to be tranquilized and relocated to Europe.'

"I'm going to shoot some hoops with members of the Flat Earth Society."

"Behind the back, between the legs, around my disappointed parents, nothing but net."

'I'm feeling a little remiss about missing both free throws.'

"Why does he keep in the same players?"

"Doesn't anybody play the harp anymore?"

A angel wearing a helmet poised to throw a football down from heaven.

'Eternity isn't bad, so long as they allow us to day-trade.'

"Papi, when I grow up, I wanna be just like you!"

"Last dunk and then we need to do work."

'He made it big in the athlete prayer industry.'

"Just practice half-court shots - all other shots have lost their meaning."

Bed, breakfast, and basketball

"The big bucks are in pro sports. So instead of doing your homework, get out there and shoot some hoops!"

Basketball Halo

Basketball net above the garage door.

'See that, Greg? His back is straight. Both feet flat on the floor. Eyes fixed on the game. It's natural talent, Greg. You just can't teach that.'

'Something tells me he's going to be a basketball player.'

Angel using his hal to play golf.

Heimlich's other lesser known maneuver.
