It takes a load of dedication just to play in the snow, but to shovel the court just to get to play in the snow? Impressive. Laughing

Yeah, dedication--and a fair amount of boredom!

I have a court behind my house now, and I've spent many hours out there playing with the gang. However, there has been one bad change over the years. We can all almost dunk the ball, so now we can't get a freakin' game going without one person saying "Let me try to dunk". He'll waste 10 minutes of our time jumping around like an idiot, and then he'll be too tired to play. Evil or Very Mad

I usually got stuck with the player nobody wanted. They would rather sit there and argue with the "No you take him." bullcrap than play. Rolling Eyes

never shovelled snow, but i have swept leaves off in the fall... in fact i haven't played indoors in about 15 years...
dry, cracked skin on the fingertips of my shooting hand is the only major drawback to outdoor play...
i prefer to play when its humid -- i get loose and stay loose longer, a major consideration for these 39 year old legs!

It's playing with gloves that really test one's dedication. A bit hard on the shooting touch. Of course, I haven't done that since I was a knuckle-head kid. Anything to get out of the house in the winter...

One of the reasons I never developed handles was because my "court" at home was covered in gravel -- and was muddy in the winter. Made dribbling no fun at all, especially since booting the ball after a bad bounce meant chasing it 50 or 60 yards down the driveway (house on a steep hill). Learned how to shoot very well off of one or two dribbles and a jump stop, though. Ahhh, the mid-range jumper...

I can dribble good for a big man, but I'm no Chris Webber.

This is true. You know, I'd like the Mavs if they had a defense. Dirk is unbelievable. And if they didn't have that idiot Mark Cuban hanging around the bench all the time. What an annoying dick he is. How many guys on that team do you think would just love to stuff him in a locker before every game?

Aw come on? I love Mark Cuban...Did you see that April Fools Day prank he pulled on Del Harris? At halftime he started mouthing off to a ref, and the ref threw him out of the game. Cuban then, full of rage, tackled and began wrestling with the ref. But it was only a joke on assistant Coach Del Harris. Laughing

I did see that, and I have to admit, I loved it. It was the only time I ever saw him that I didn't want to beat the **** out of him. Smile

Laughing , If someone other than Dirk would start playing up to their potential we could win. BUT OF COURSE NOT! It makes me mad sometimes.

Yeah, I know what you mean. That last game really pissed me off. At least give yourselves a chance at a shot at the end! Whatever happened to the pick and roll? The end of that game sucked.

Although I am royally pissed at the time, when I think about it later it makes me laugh. After a big f up like that, I sit there, shocked...and then I say the same thing ever time, "Fuckin' ****.", in a very calm voice. Then, I stand up, and yell, "WHAT THE ****?!", and then I start throwing my arms all over the place, and yelling all kinda vulgarities. Laughing
