A professional athlete should be focused on one thing -- the sport they play. But Yellowknife Wraiths receiver Bailey Cook has not given up on his other passion, basketball.
Bailey Cook spent plenty of hours in his college days at the Rec, and he was always down for a game of pickup basketball. It didn't matter if it was 2 on 2, 3 on 3, or of course, everyone's favorite, 5 on 5, Cook was ready to play.
He also played intramural basketball. A lot of it. Despite being a Division 1 football player, he was able to circumvent the rules a little bit. The head of the league, a Mr. Sweeney-Alexander, was wise to Cook's tricks, but he was in good standing, so he allowed it. Cook's team had all the players in the Rec hitting them up to play with them, and ended up finishing one fall Intramural season with 8 wins and 0 losses en route to the championship!
Those wins were a great experience, but as long as Bailey Cook is on the court with his friends, that's all he cares about. He also likes the mid-range jumper, a lot. It helps that his friend and old teammate A.C. Hackett would always try to cover him, but, being the subpar defender that he is, Hackett just couldn't stop him. Crazier things have happened in their games though, such as Liberty OL Sammy Walters getting tossed and then yelling at the entire bench, even though he clearly committed a flagrant foul. Then there was Pythons DE Andreas Waiters, who, oddly enough, loved to pick fights (and then actually fight) freshmen in the gym. Luckily enough for the big defensive end, only ONE person in the entire rec possessed enough prowess to grab a rebound over him. In an effort to talk about Hackett again, it's worth mentioning that the only person on the team that he hasn't yelled at is Rakim Uchiha, lesser known Pythons receiver and avid floater-taker.
Bailey Cook loves basketball. When my friends read this, they're going to kill me. I'll leave it there. Y'all are awesome people and it's been nice knowing you.
