Okay...
Back to the topic at hand, the most hated pickup stereotype, well I dont even know if this is a stereotype, but I hate these damn kids who keep trying to take your ball while their parents are either nowhere to be found or watching you intently as if you had their son's ball. We were in the middle of a game and this kid kept running through the game, trying to steal the ball.
I see no boobs in sight. Though I Just watched that naked wii girl, so I'm pretty happy right now. How does a skinny girl get such big natural boobies?
Re: Worst Display of bball and My Most Hated Pickup Sterotype
yeah he has nice handles, but he isn't quick and his shot is just sad. you can tell he has no pull up game and he takes a long time to his feet set and get a shot off. dribbling in place and looking at your opponent like you can actually do something doesn't get you anywhere.

I'm happy that you put work into being an amazingly mediocre big man, that probably gets pushed out the paint by people half his size it's really something to be proud of. However I don't see a lot of people that can handle the ball that fast, except for one guy who comes close and his team is most likely winning a 3rd championship in the league I'm playing in. So I guess sick handlez could get you somewhere son.
Re: Worst Display of bball and My Most Hated Pickup Sterotype
Man he is not even good, can't even do a left hand layup. I know a lot of guys who think they're the shit because they can handle the rock, but the truth is they all suck. None of those dudes did shit on the high school ball team and they aren't even good in real pick up games.
Re: Worst Display of bball and My Most Hated Pickup Sterotype
No doubt the kid has nice handles.
The problem is he doesn't go anywhere with the ball. Stands on the spot dribbling around for fifteen seconds. In a real game all that achieves is running down the shotclock. In basketball the team that scores the most points wins, what's the point of great ball-handling if it doens't get your team buckets?
For a few of those plays he blew by the defender after said dribbling on spot for fifteen seconds, but the D turned their shoulder every time, didn't slide their feet to cut him off. I'd rather see someone use a simple three or four dribble move to get to the rack or create seperation, rather than speed dribble twenty times to no advantage.
Re: Worst Display of bball and My Most Hated Pickup Sterotype
What I don't understand is why he kept pulling back when he already blew by the defender? He would dribble for 5 seconds, do a crossover and blow by the defender, then pull it right back and dribble for another couple of seconds, rinse and repeat. Waste of time really.
Re: Worst Display of bball and My Most Hated Pickup Sterotype
That's a lot of wasted effort. I mean if he has energy to do then great but as a defender I'll let him do all that shit and then handle it when he comes down the lane.
Also if you beat the defender you need to capitalize. I was playing with a dude once who would break someone, and then look at them, and bring it out. It was so frustrating, shoot the phucking ball or get it out do something!
Re: Worst Display of bball and My Most Hated Pickup Sterotype
Most people dont even know what good basketball is. Finding a quality coach to teach all aspects of the game is rare. There are some good high school coaches but most good ones are at the college level. This kid wouldnt even play on my AAU team, wasting all the time dribbling. Handling the rock is great for Youtube, but put that kid in a real game and he is not dominating anyone.
Re: Worst Display of bball and My Most Hated Pickup Sterotype
The kid has some nice handles (Understatement). I would like to see him play against better competition and on a full court setting. It would either show him as a legit player or expose him.
Those guys he was playing were prety bad though. He put in a lot of dirbbles to get by a guy he probably could have just went straight through...Props to him for taking advantage to showcase himself though.
