I never played organized b-ball, but I play every week at a court nearby, and I've done so for a long time. I love it. How about you, Child?


By far my favorite sport to play, I've been out of the game for about a year, but next week are the tryouts and I'm gonna, well, tryout.

Gus,
Hah at everything you said. Laughing

Basketball is the sport that takes the most skill to be good at, and you and I both know girls have no skill at sports.

Maybe Sue Bird has skills, but not that Aussie.

Have you seen her play? Great touch around the basket, if you know what I mean. (Seriously, though, she's savvy in the post. No, really...)

Hah, that makes me laugh Laughing . That is my strength as a player, I have Vlade Divac like athleticism and Kareem touch around the basket, along with Larry Bird awareness.

Huh. Must be rough, having those skills at 4'10".

I had range out to about 27 feet. Didn't mean I'd make it, but I'd damn well shoot it. But I was good for five hard fouls a game.

Hah, I love those hardnose players. I'm actually 6'4 or 6'5, so I've got decent height. But my secret weapon...The Hook, I swear to God I had a cult following the last year I played. People started chants of "Hook, Hook, Hook" in the stands. I played good fundamental basketball, and people found it amusing. But luckily I polished my game playing street ball in the schoolyard, I was usually the only white kid, and usually one of the best players. I'm going to show up to tryouts with the Stockton nut-huggers, and a ABA headband. Laughing

Sweet. Very sweet. I'd send you my lucky pumpkin-orange thigh-high game-day-shootaround socks, but I've misplaced them over the years.

Laughing Hah. I've searched, God how I've searched for Chucks. But I can never find size 15 hightops. Sad

kings won 83-79 -- that's some east-coast-grind-it-out playoff action out west.
what happened to the 136-132 layup drills they usually do?

I really wish the Mavs had someone outside of Dirk playing worth a ****. Evil or Very Mad

EDIT:If Michael Finley, Steve Nash, Jamison, and Walker don't get there crap together...They will find themselves tradebait. Evil or Very Mad

Gee, I was enjoying everyone's memories of playing the game. As for me, I was a small forward at the intramural level at a small, liberal arts college. In other words, 6' tall with a fairly good shot from the corner...

I still wear Chuck Taylor's, but, alas, my playing days are over.

Refined the shot in the driveway huh? I know the type of player you were, I say feed it to me in the post and you say "What's the post? You do know you get more points for 3's don't you?" Laughing

We didn't even 3's then, Child...But yeah, it was shoot first, pass later. Learned the game at a park near my house. We loved to play so much that we shoveled snow off the court in the winter to play half-court!
