prolly my favorite play from my high school career


Mine was also a block that I pinned against the backboard, but mine wasn't pretty at all.

Kid stole the ball at the top of the key, I'm at the block, he thinks he has an easy lay up at the other end. I bust arse down there and jump as high as I've ever jumped in my life and pinned his shite up against the backboard, but my momentum kept carrying my body, so the ball and my arm was against the backboard, but the rest of my body kept going, so I ended up falling straight on my back and then sliding into the wall.

i remember you getting me a couple times. i never saw you.

I would go around the picks and get you.

X can say he never saw me coming, but I was running at him directly between him and the goal. So if he didn't see me, then his eyes were closed.

And then he runs over you, and calls a foul (even though it's a charge).

That's his point.

no i dont think you cn pick someone pocket every play but i also dont think you have to fall down and get all tangled up with the guy when he beats you off the dribble... if you cant figure out ways to stop getting beat off the dribble then i cant really help you

A few months ago when I was still a member at Red's I was playing a pickup game with some guys. Well they had this one black guy who everytime he got the ball wanted everyone to clear out and he would drive on them and score. Normally, I wouldn't care, but I wanted to play serious ball that day, and grew tired of it after the first 8 times. Everytime I would go to set a screen he would go the opposite direction or wave me off. Finally when I had enough, I just came from the other side when he was going for a layup and pinned his shite on the backboard and made sure I landed on top of him.

You are completely and totally missing his point. 100%.

the guy that shows up with a headband, 6 sweat bands ... $250 shorts and top .. $300 shoes .. a michael jordan "23" gold chain around their neck and still sucks something awfful ... and you picked him because you figured someone that spends that much money on basketball HAS to be decent at it ..
You obviously haven't played a lot of ball. Give me the guy that shows up in a 15 year old church league tank top and beat up shoes... or the guy that forgot his shorts but knows where the lost-and-found box is, and goes and puts on some REALLY stinky ones just to get to play. Those are the guys I want on my team.
