Only a Mike Helms could have done what he did. At yesterday’s Slingers game against the Brisbane Bullets, he showed us why he is our darling again.

The opponents know him, they have marked him down. At every game that I’ve watched, Mike is always literally barricaded by humans. This makes it painfully frustrating for him to play.

Yet, again and again, we have seen Mike rise against the odds. He’d duck them in the most unexpected ways, grab the ball, rush it in to the end of the court like a police car chase, and score.

Just look at all his old pictures, courtesy of Andrew David Images.

Chances of Mike scoring this? 99%

The art of twisting your body at the last second

Mike’s head is screaming, “Never, ever, ever, ever,ever give up!”

He may be half your height, but his jump is three times as high

Unstoppable, what’s new?

At yesterday’s game, Mike Helms was top scorer again. It was,

Singapore Slingers 119 (Helms 31, Grizzard 24, Knight 21)
Brisbane Bullets 102 (Williamson 23, Rychart 20, Bruton 18)
@ Singapore Indoor Stadium, 02/12/2007. Crowd: 3,000

Well Mike, if you’d like to set up shop to sell your autographed photos, let me hook you up with an online shopping cart.
