you have so much adrenaline going that you sometimes cant even feel the paint hitting you..
its easy to clean up too...
thats why when you play in tournaments like i do, there is a bunch of referees out there that watch you VERY close to see if you get hit, because a lot of people cheat in this game (when you are playing for a grand, come on)
ive wiped a hit in a finals game in front of the entire sideline and 3 head referees... it was awesome! lol
