Im in the season and whenever I even get within an inch of the rim a feel a shock and my friends can hear it. I live in minnesota and its around 0 degrees outside, but inside its plenty warm. My school has tile floors so i dont think im building up a charge all day. I only get shocked when I touch the rim. I can touch other metal things and not get shocked. It happens over and over too. I could touch the rim 50 times and still get a shock as strong as the first. We did a drill today of boxing out and then exploding up and getting as high up as we can. I touched the rim atleast 20 times in that 5-10 minutes and i still got shocked each time. Other kids on my team dont get shocked so it is really weird why I do. I have had a cold for a while but i dont thik that would make a difference. Any ideas?
