Spent the weekend tinkering on this on and off. Animation continues to be a weakness of mine, but I'm alright with this one despite the flaws I still see. I've been concocting larger animations to plug this into, but my imagination takes no consideration of my ability or, more importantly, time.

So Seattle Sonics player 00 here shall remain jumping beyond exhaustion, with no ball to make purpose of his actions, until further notice.
