    The following video shows the achievement unlocking early in the game. The video starts with Adam going into the yard.

    --Talk to Fixer (result of the conversation with Flossy that occurs automatically thru story progression)
    --Find Fixer in a fenced-in area of the yard and talk to him
    --Search Fixer's room, Room A309 (result of conversation with Fixer if you chose to talk to him)
    --When searching Fixer's room, open Teddy Bear to find note with comment about the Showers
    --Go to the showers and open the Teddy Bear in a laundry basket to find 6014 written on a scrap of paper
    --6014 is the code to the locked door of the laundry room, up the stairs from the shower and to the left.
    --Open the laundry room to find a basketball (and an altered biocell in a Teddy Bear)
    --Take the basketball to the court right next where you talked to Flossy
    --Aim the basketball and shoot by pressing cn_RT to unlock the achievement.


    Notes on the basketball shooting techniques used in the video:
    Adam has good range so he stands behind the center line
    Adam aims at the backboard so the bounce will cause the ball to go into the basket

    Note that you can make a save right after you acquire the altered Biocell. You can then consume the Biocell to unlock the following achievement. Since consuming the Biocell prevents you from unlocking another achievement, you can reload the game you save and continue on with the Biocell intact:

    Cro11You do not actually need to shoot the ball into the hoop. You can just walk up holding it and jump/wiggle it through the basket while holding it. Same goes for the ballsy achievement

    AllgorhythmGood point and thanks for the thumbs up. Also, you can make a save file in the laundry room. Consume the altered biocell so you can get some jumping augments. Pick up the basketball, go to the yard, and use your augments so you can slam dunk the basketball. Once you have the achievement, if you don't want augments so you can work towards the Winners Don't Use Drugs (or Biocells) achievement, you can reload the save file you made just before consuming the altered biocell. Using this technique, one will also unlock this achievement:

    Once the riot starts, a few more basketballs spawn in around the basketball court. So if you aren't going into the room with the Altered Biocell (which, why wouldn't you for one reason or another?) you could just do this later. Duly note that the nearby turret might disagree with your augmented b-ball skills unless you disable that in the security checkpoint between the cell blocks.
