I usually cheat on d if i guard someone weak af ill just help whoever drives this other team was pissed off the guy i was leaving open wasnt doing shit yesterday

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

I hate the guy that always wants the ball on offense but never plays any d.

I will shut you out if you not playing defense.

This the same guy that stops at half court and usually wants the ball on the break.

Cosign. If you have someone on your team who can't shoot open/hoop, it's a wrap. I'm cheating on defense and leaving bum #2 wide the fuck open the whole game.

And after he shoots I'm breaking the other way for a fast break/ cherry pick play EVERY SINGLE TIME lol.

A lot of dudes didn't play varsity or college ball, so they don't know any better. When I speak to random people about hooping, they're surprised that I play the 1,2 in competitive play. They think anyone over 6ft is a big man.

I'm like nah, if your son wants to take basketball serious and use it to get college scholarships or go pro he needs to develop elite guard skills. 5'11 playing big man isn't going to work EVER. I don't even think D3 have people that short. I think their big men are like 6'4ish.

No one really givees a fuck where ou played though you here are at the park.. play in the post

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

That's exactly why I only play with people I know or in leagues. First off, niggas suck lol, and second, there's no way I'm playing on the same team as clowns who think tall people should be in the post. To me that means they don't understand the game, and that's that player coach shit that will get you checked.

A post game is learned, not inherited. Learning a post game takes just as much dedication as learning how to play on the wing. Not to mention, If I shoot better, dribble better, pass better etc. than everyone on the team, why would I play somewhere where I'm not comfortable?

And being short doesn't make you a PG, the same way being tall doesn't make you a C. Your SKILLS determine what position you play.

I wish I remembered the poster who said "I always ride around with a ball, shorts, and shoes in the trunk cause you never know when a game is gonna break out." One of the blackest things I've ever read on this site

Lol I have a ball, shoes, and shorts in the trunk of both of my vehicles.

True story

That sweaty ass patrick ewing nigga that always plays with no shirt.

fuck yeah man, i hate them type of niggas. they always wanna post up too. I make the homey guard them slimy shirt off niggas nowadays. I cant do it.

 

[DR. JEK]

What about the ole " Stop the game to dispute everything from foul calls to the score" ass nigguhs? I hate playing against these pace killin cats. games coulda BEEN over but they wanna argue all day, cross examine nigguhs, and add a extra point to they score once in awhile but since nobody gonna let them get away wit that fuckery another dispute kicks off.

I can feel this whole statement. Yeah 30 years ago I can hear someone saying that but hell nah not anymore. I did know some cats that were 6ft to 6'5'' playing center but those are 1's and 2's now. And the only reason I don't have sick handles is @ 5'11 is there weren't teaching that shit, you had to post and if the other team had a big dude you were guarding that guy.

On another note, I used to run with this cat with sick 1 skills but was 6'5'' and I would run the wing with him. Stayed giving me dimes on the break and on the pick and rolls cuz I could shoot and leap. They wanted him to post but dude was just a big ass guard

 

[king hassan]

That ''I used to'' nigga. When he out there fucking up he run shit down on what he ''used to do'' on the court, nobody never heard or seen this nigga play. But stay telling duck tales of how cold he was smh

 

[WhoisDonG???]

Fuck all that I'm 6-5 so I be a shooting guard in the NBA... Nigga u not in the league u the tallest on the court dude so get ya ass in the post and grabs some boards.. This pickup not college or Pro.. Tallest dude has advantage inside but wants to shoot js all day.. I'm trying to run the court all day not lose to satisfy your ego for the position u want to play or is natural to u. Cuz if u lose it be forever trying to run again in a packed gym.

[Max.]

Ok if u used to playing as a sg/sf ya whole life u just dont learn post moves over night

And if give me the ball on the block...clear out theres not alot of room...we play side to side full court but still its crowded...i get double teamed everytime

 

[Max.]

I dont care if people shoot it just take a good shot

 

[DOPEdweebz]

I'm 6'1" - 6'2" and play like a fucking power forward. I had no chance. These days 6'2" is average nigga height at least here in Boston.
