I play basketball religiously, I'm pretty good at it. I've practiced so much since I was about ten, I honestly dont think there is anything I do poorly on the court. Not saying I'm great either, but I know the game, and I'm deadly from outside. WATCH OUT!

ive been playin since i was little from a fisher price rim to the real thing....

iam pretty good, never tried out for a school team cause i hate practice but ive hustled some dudes at the playground

I played in high school until I broke my ankle,then had to get a job. It's a lot more fun on the playground.

Yeah Im pretty good. I can dunk and take it to the hole on most people I play.

Yeah. I love going out to go play basketball out on the streets.

We have a hoop in our driveway and I play with the kids in the neightborhood. I'm not that good but I have a decent outside shot.

Baseball, football and wrestling were always more my sport.

the playground is always fun to play. you can always make a couple bucks too from those ignorant kids( 15-18, thinks that they cant lose)

.....I just threw my back out playing on Monday. The chick across the street is married to a Puerto Rican guy who had all of his relatives over last Sunday. One dude was 38, a cousin from Booklyn that was 20 and an 18 and 17 year old. They talked alot about basketball while I was over partying so we went and played in the hot Florida sun at like 10:00 A.M. The two younger dudes sat it out and me and the other two played a game called Utah(never heard of it). Kind of like 21 but you play by fives and three free throws until you get guarded again. If you go off the backboard on your freethrow shots they don't count, and there were alot of other crazy rules. I got to 100 first and then couldn't finish at the freethrow line because my back was killing me. I had to score 3 more times and for some reason still couldn't hit my last free throw. I called the game and we left it at that. They had like 65 and 50 points. I must have actually scored like 120 or so. Anyway, it was fun to get out but my back failed me.

I've played ever since I was 4...I played in HS for one of the most prestigious schools in Michigan (won state title in 1999, states or regionals every year since).

I really peaked sophmore year though and have gone downhill ever since. I can't dribble with my right very well and I can't flame like I used to either.

However, for only being 6'2, I'm a monster in the post. I would have thought that would leave me too since everybody outgrew me and I was an undersized SF/PF, but my left hand is insane and my baby hook in the lane is out of this world still. I can also work the elbows like no other and I can rebound with anybody who isn't 6'7 or up.

i suck at basketball

I used to play ball all the time at a whole bunch of diffrent parks with my friends. I havn't played as much latley. I am pretty decent, I got an above average jumpshot and some solid defensive skills.

I love going to different courts around the city and meeting new players. I'm basically alone now in my journey since all of my friends are lazy ****s :D I was at the courts today shooting around and running suicide drills by myself, I had to go straight to the corner store and get some gatorade, because its like 90 degrees outside and I felt like I was gonna pass out. I wish I could dunk though. I've only dunked once in my life and I was SO damn lucky, jumped up and threw down a missed shot as soon as it bounced off the rim. L U C K Y. I'm glad I had witnesses, because that **** will never happen again :)

LOL...dunking is somthing that I won't ever be able to do either. At least you can say you dunked once. :) I want to start playing ball at night time more, its too hot in the afternoon.

i can dunk but its pretty weak, what can i say i dont have the hops :D iam about 6'4 (grew a bit since last time i measured my height)


btw any of you guys fight for money? i remember in the day everybody would come to my back yard and have a big rumble and the winner got like 20 dollars :D

Nah, we used to armwrestle for money though. I own all of my friends in arm wreslting. None of the jerks lift weights! One of my friends challenged me to a boxing match after he bought some gloves and mouthpieces. I caught him flush on the forehead about minute or so into it and he dropped and quit. He caught me in my ribs hard as **** though and they were sore for a day or two.

yeah we did that too in class either that or shot for shot where you take turns punching each other as hard as you can in the arm

I've been playing basketball ever since I can remember. Both Streetball and team Basketball. I'll be playing for TSV Starnberg next year so I'll have the chance to play in third highest league of Germany (if I make the first team and the financial problems of the club are solved). This year me and my team made the semi-finals of the NBA Streetball Challenge in Munich. I also had 14 succesive wins in the King of the Court Event.

I'm about 1,90 and I usually play at the 2. I always had a good long range jumper and quick hands. I can dunk (though I have problems to dunk with one hand because I have relativly small hands) and drive if I'm given the chance.

About 15 months ago I broke my left leg during a basketball game when I was driving to the basket, trying to dunk and got hit in the air by my defender. I crashed against the wall of the gym, then against the floor and I had to take a break for almost half a year.

Close to my school there's a Streetball court were me and my friends play a lot if the weather allows it. Right now I have training with my team on 3 evenings every week as well.

Hopefully the next season will be great for me. It's very cool that a lot of you guys play the game.

Some people I knew where having boxing matchs for money at this kids house. It was just phase it didn't last too long...

It's good to play in the heat, if you're safe about it, bring a gallon of water or some gatorade and just hustle. Builds endurance, my brother from another mother bought me a glow in the dark ball, works real nice when me and the boys walk to the park all drunk after a saturday night of watching fights and drinking. My boy severely sprained his ankle last time after the Gatti/Mayweather slaughter! it was hilarious, drunk ass dummy!

It funny you say that because my friend always say he likes playing when its really hot out because it builds stamina. I just never believed him... :D

yeah, you sweat, burn fat/calories, and your body adjusts to the temp. So when you play and it's not so hot, your body is ready for the heat, so you can go longer. I wear whoever is guarding me the **** down when I play in pickup games. They might be better, but I make sure to outwork their ass so their offense isnt so potent. For example, their is this guy in my old neighborhood I used to always play with, he was a ghetto superstar for his game, we owned anyone that came to our regular court all day. If he and I played 1 on 1, he would probably just about shut me out. Playing against him in a game, having that stamina built up, I always would outwork him and score on him/stop him on defense because I would wear him down. You should try it, it works soooo well. Just be safe, YOU HAVE to have liquids at the court if you're going to put your body through something like that.

dunking is easy. I used to not be able to, because I couldnt palm the ball. Now I can.

I can't palm a ball and I can't dunk 2 hand anymore because I lost my hops due to not working out so I can't dunk anymore.

The only time I boxed with my firends it was with those big ass sock-em-boppers and I cracked 2 of his teeth and knocked his fillings out and he quit.

what a surprise.


every black dude that lives near a court owns at b-ball.

15% of the population.
95% of the final four.


havin said that i also play occassionally and consider myself good, until a 6'4 starts guarding me thats also good

I have stamina problems, I am usually the one that gets worn down. But I am trying to get in better shape right now...

Where I usually play I think I have the best stamina. At the end of the day, I'm tired but if everyone wnats to play another game I'm all for it, I can play basketball all day, and I can play every game as if it was my first of the day.

Thats crazy, I am usually dead after like 4 games going to like 10 points. :D

well of course man. you train for boxing what do you think. jumping rope and speedbag work definately make the muscles that work when you do jump shots and jump block other peoples shots much stronger than the average b-ball hunter gatherer.

before i started boxing when i played b-ball all day i would be sore as **** in my shoulders.

Me too man. I never get tired, and I run all over the ****ing place. People always want to quit....and I keep playing games of 21 over and over.

I think I once played like 40 ****ing games with 4 people non stop. Im not joking.

If you arent joking, you must be lying but maybe youre saying the truth like Mayweatherfan always does. Only you do know if you speak the truth. You at least had a 5 minute break i would believe

I played a little ball back in the day. At 5'4 I was able to dunk a small ball. I remember i used to do 360 dunks , windmills and all kinds of dunks on a nine footer.I played alot here in L.A and was well known by all the BBallers at school, I used to kick they ass at 21 in recess. :D I was able to touch the rim till recently, I was 205 and could do it but now I went all the way up to 225 and I need about an inch more to it.I can palm a regular size ball easily but I cant do all the fancy **** i used to do. My nick with the brothers was handles.

LOL :D thats great...

i play everyday (i dont have a job)
im pretty good, Im a big guy 6'1 310 usually bang with the big boys down low. Got a good all around game but I got a spin move and a hook shot that kills them. I consider myself a VG passer from the post.
I like playing with new people because they see my fat ass and assume I cant play and I go out and school them.

keep in mind we usually play 3on3 for like 3-4 hours a day, I dont think I could run a full court game and be too effective for long anymore.

Played in Jr High, played football in highschool and was pretty serious with it so i didnt have time to play HS ball

anyway yeah Im a huge bball fan, try not to miss a televised game

Jack. Were you once a member of the Dallas Mavericks? I heard your jumpshot was great in your prime.

As a matter a fact I was. I did some very shady stuff during my NBA career so I choose not to talk about that kind of stuff. But when I was in my prime, shooting for me was like breathing.

I also heard your release was among the quickest in the leauge. Faster than the likes of Parker, Bibby, Nash, Marbury, as well as any other PG in the game.

YUp. I play shooting guard.
Was the 3pt shooting champion back in
highschool :)

You ever heard of a guy named Eddie House? My release was 74 times quicker than his.

Hey Run, remember a few years back when the Kings were playing the Lakers, i think it was a game 6, deciding play, when Kobe ran right through Mike Bibby, forearming him in his nose to get the inbound pass? Ref was right there like "what, I didnt see nuthin'"? I was screaming at my TV!

Great Stuff.

I suppose Jerry West was right about you then. His exact words were: "Jack was unbelievable. Imagine this.....The ball handling of a Raefer Alston, Jason Williams, and Pete Marovich all combined. Then add Isiah's jumper, and Carter's dunking ability, and Peja's range......and you have the forementioned."

That series pissed me off. I wanted Sac to win really bad, and cant stand the lakers. Bibby tore house on them though, he is the deadliest shooter off screens in the leauge. Better than Hamilton.

Yeah, I believe Sac took a one point lead when Bibby hit that jumper off Webber's screen and the next play that bull**** happened. Kobe straight ran right through Bibby, it was disgraceful.

Oh yeah. And whoever said Barrera was overrated lost their boxing credibility in my book.

3 years of varsity ball but haven't played in about a year. deadly fomr the 2 or 3 spot.
