What non-team basketball game did you own at?

21?
Around the World?
Horse?
Bump?
1v1 doesn't count.
I think I was best at 1 or 2 tricky shots at horse. Too inconsistent in Around the World. Not a good enough rebounder for 21.
Bump was my game. I could always get the person ahead of me out by destroying their ball and getting it really far away from the basket and sinking mine, if I hadnt done so already. I would also protect any ball that was meant in to end me by making perfect ball to ball contact midair, theirs flying off and mine returning to my hands. Shoot. Score. Pass. Line up.
What was your specialty?

Bump? Is that what you yankees call knockout?

Is this the same as "put out"?

There are a bunch of set shots that I never miss. I would do the make a bunch of shots in a row then make you stay with me
Once I had you on the ropes I would start shooting my left hand shots and put you away

What's the difference between 21 and Tip 21?

Depends. 3-3 usually. Tip 21 also.

the way we use to play it was that if somebody missed their free throw and you tipped it back in or put their miss back in they went back to zero.
I was a real bastard about it
I was always good at rebounding but not much else... especially dribbling.

I sucked at basketball. But i never, ever, missed a three from the corner. Made 50 something in a row (but missed layups all the time, assuming they werent blocked). My friends would practice threes from the corner just to combat me

Put out champ bitch. I cheated to win. Kicking balls, knocking balls out of the way, missing the 3 pt shot on purpose for an easy layup
Posted on 10/22/15 at 11:00 pm to Upperdecker
Play against anyone with talent and the on purpose miss is quickly shot to shite because people behind you make shots

I'm assuming it's the same as what we called "gotcha"

frick that. I was always the one who would get to 13 or 14 (we played it where you couldn't be sent back to 0 once you got 15) then someone would send me back to zero. I had the shittiest luck at it.
I was pretty damn good at knockout because I would usually either make the 3 or the rebound was easy enough to just lay back in quickly.
It sort of doesn't fit because OP mentioned no 1v1, but we played a game called triangle. It was basically 1v1, where the person who scores stays on. This was probably my favorite.
