Dave Hopla Releases iPhone App For Teenagers Looking For Way To Blow Parent's Money Other Than Text Message Jokes of the Day


Growing up as a suburban white kid with dreams of Division III basketball greatness, I attended my fair share of basketball camps. In my time sweating it out in non air conditioned gyms across Northern New Jersey, I encountered my fair share of ironic guest speakers. From former Syracuse player Deshaun Williams putting us through conditioning drills to "keep our heads on straight" , to Eddie Griffin telling us to stay off alcohol and drugs, the 13 year old saw it all. And then there was Dave Hopla.

To this day, I still don't know what to make of Dave Hopla. The man makes a living traveling to basketball camps around the country and making something like 248 of 250 free throws. Never once does he shoot with a hand in his face or on the move. Never once does he engage the crowd. He literally just stands there and shoots free throws. And, I'm pretty sure he thinks it's extremely interesting to watch. Standing still performing the most rudimentary shot in basketball. Not taking anything away from his ability to hit the same shot over and over, but come on man, an iPhone app? Thanks to the application released last week, ill advised teens can now purchase "iHopla"

The description off his website reads, "It's the off season, and you are at day one of your individual training. Three hours later, how did you do? Three days later, how have you improved? Three months later, what do you need to work on the most?"

With the iHopla app, which offers 1 whole workout, also offers the ability to input how many shots you take and make. Something a pen and paper definitely can't accomplish! Additionally, it

Allow me to save anyone out there reading this 99 cents. Hopla is about to blow your mind in this video with advise that undoubtedly only he can provide.
