Just call me COACH

In this day and age...a single gal has to fend for herself, and until she can get that one man that fulfills all the needed positions in her life....a strong roster MUST be built! Let's just be honest...if you only have a one player roster, what will you do when he's not performing well, on injured reserve or having a Kobe moment? You have to do what you have to do...be that smart Coach, since this is YOUR life. You have to have a good squad, and there are some great one position players out there (or so I've heard). Let's just imagine that your love life is like a game of basketball...you need those great players to score...to play the game smart...to get you a win! So, you have your point guard guy...your Chris Paul if you will. He's the leader, the guy who you can count on to hold you down. The one who takes you out, and when you have any type of desperate situation, he's there to step in and help. He takes control, so you don't have to. BUT, there's no I in team. So, you have your shooting guard guy...your Michael Jordan if you will. He's best for creativity and consistency. He's flashy, sexy and does it all very well...while looking great. He knows how to handle you in more ways than one. He's so exciting. BUT, this is a TEAM effort. So, you have your small forward guy...your Tayshaun Prince if you will. He's quick and versatile. When you need it done...it's DONE. He defends your honor, and there's little he can't handle. He's exceptional in random situations...and keeps you on your toes. BUT, together we stand and divided we fall. So, you have your power forward guy...your Kevin Garnett if you will. He's, well, powerful. He takes on every challenge. He's large, but not afraid of his in the moment emotions...he gives his all. Plus, sometimes you just need to be man handled. BUT, it takes an orchestra to play a symphony. So, you have your center...your Dwight Howard if you will. He uses his unique skills to please you. When you're down, he always knows how to help you...well...rebound. He's your anchor, in a good way that is. He's great for the intimidation factor. With him, no one will bother you...they'll just be intrigued. Of course you have your sixth man guy...Manu Ginobili if you will. He's not a starter, but he's that reserve...that standby ready to step in at a moments notice...and that's in any position. Now, many people would like to be all high and mighty and say love/relationships shouldn't be compared to a game, BUT let's face it, we all play. When you're in a serious relationship there's no need to play anymore (even though many still do)...you've retired...taken a sabbatical...became an assistant for your friends team. HOWEVER, if you aren't in anything serious...just get ready for the jump ball.

Bottom line: Where's my clip board and whistle? lol.
