I looooove this. What a brilliant metaphor. (I'm also a tall person who was told they should play basketball. I finally gave in and played in 8th-12th grades. I was okay but never great.) And your low dribble alternatives sound perfect to me. I'm slowly decluttering my home and life right now. I can't do everything I want to do, so I'm getting rid of all the things/books/started projects that are least important to me to make more time for the most important ones. (and some of the most important are silly and frivolous dreams that make me happy)
