An arm would extend from the top of the pyramid, grab the ball, and begin dribbling it to increase the potential angle of impact.
A bit complex, but I feel that the dribbling component artfully captures the spirit of basketball. Woodie Flowers talked about Eat Pray Love, the book, in his speech, and in the book, they artfully capture one woman's soul-searching endeavors. This can capture the soul of basketball!!
Would love some suggestions. Thanks!

The fact the FIRST knows no boundaries, either geographic or cultural, is certainly one of our strongest assets as we move toward a changed culture. - Rich Kressly [more]
