I hope you don't mind if I substitute "funniest" for "coolest".
I was in the 3rd grade, and it was a typical spring day - everyone was out for recess. There was a kindergarten - 2nd grade playground and a 3rd grade - 5th grade playground. The "big kid" playground had a basketball court. I remember one day kids were forming teams, and after some discussion, it ended up being 3rd graders vs. 5th graders in a game of basketball.
Needless to say, it seems like we had little to no chance of winning right? Well, yeah. We didn't win. But I didn't care about what the final score was, because I had a brief moment of epicness I will never forget. One of the 5th graders was in front of me, and I had the basketball. He was trash talking me, poking fun at me, pretty much toying with me. He went as far as to bump me down on the concrete to establish some intimidation.
I got up, and the next opportunity I had with the ball in my hands, I let the same kid guard me once again. I let him do more trash talking. I then proceeded to throw the ball off his forehead, sending him to the ground, and I ran straight to the hoop and tossed up the ball for a bucket. I vividly remember my teammates going "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Yeah, we lost. But I showed up a 5th grader.
