This is a small mix of the last couple of months when we were able to get some of us together to hoop. There will be more to come in the future and hopefully other cities get together to hoop as well.

[YAWN]

what was the pool table pic for? :lol

[chazzy]

was one of the gyms LA Baptist? looked familiar

[LebrickJames84']

what was the pool table pic for? :lol
I laughed also. That looks like a nice house. Good video it seems like all you guys have fun balling it up I wish I was there. It is nice to see posters play. Is that court regulation size, liloj took 4 dribbles and got from end to end.

It seems jump shot friendly alot of outside shots during the games.

[rufuspaul]

I like Lamar's double screen for liloj towards the beginning.

[InspiredLebowski]

I like Lamar's double screen for liloj towards the beginning.

I laughed too. It's the default midwestern playing style.

[halffttime]

crazy arc @ :35

[Maniak]

Nice mix. I think this was one of the first vids liloj made where I didnt get a shoutout.

Whatever, still awesome to see ISHiots get together and ball.

[50inchvertical]

If yall plan something far enough in advance and can guarantee a good turnout, I'd come out.

[playtetris]

lamar playing oldskool setting screens and boxing out. :cheers:

lilojmayo has some explosive speed.

[CasterL]

cool mix, wish i lived in the states and could play some pickup games. good music 2

[Inspector Rick]

Very cool to see. Whats with the lack of defense though?

[RidonKs]

oh f*ck, duhon's flesh and blood!

awesome stuff fellas. i'm pining for la right about now. were you guys victorious against some other clan, or were you dispersed on different teams?

[Horde of Temujin]

Wasn't there a New York pick up game? I missed out on that one we should do it again.

[Lamar Doom]

hehe, i missed every shot in that video (form still so pretty). kind of how that day went. also I didn't know I was being filmed which is a little creepy in hindsight. fundies on display though.

[50inchvertical]

Yeah, I was the only one who showed up.

spudgay was talking about how he'd bust everyone, and never even showed his face.
younggrease said he was too good for us, but he might show up... never did.
etc
You don't mean one of the days I was trying to get yall to come to LaGuardia do you? Because Imdaman99 came the second time, I want to say in like September. I posted that Youtube video of them I got from over at Niketalk, his team didn't do too well

[StroShow4]

Whats with the lack of defense though?

That's what I was going to say. Even for pickup ball, the D was pretty weak.

[Zak]

this **** needs to go down in houston

[liljohnnywall]

That's what I was going to say. Even for pickup ball, the D was pretty weak.

nice video but....
The defense was terrible. All i see is weak reaches thorough the whole video. I play high school ball right now, and even that doesn't fly when we play pickup games. Most of the guys seem to be outside shooters. It is nice to see liloj passing the rock with that defense he could probably score at will against lackluster d like that, i remember he said he had a 40 point game in one of his leagues awhile back. That video doesn't do any justice to how good he is, but it looked like he was trying to spread glory to all the posters in the video. That is pretty explosive speed by lilojmayo though i can tell that's a regular high school sized court and he covered it from end to end taking 4 dribbles in less than 4 seconds.

John Wall did a similiar thing took 3 dribbles and covered 3/4 of the floor

You hung on rim barely even jumping. Can you dunk off vertical or a drop step? and who was the guy that dunked in the video.

[The_Yearning]

No defense at all...Oj mayo was going coast to coast lol...too bad he couldn't finish it.

[liljohnnywall]

No defense at all...Oj mayo was going coast to coast lol...too bad he couldn't finish it.

terrible defense. on a scale of 10 it is a 2. I can understand the one when he covers the court in 4 dribbles, but the others he was jogging and it was still a 2 on 1 fastbreak. Just bad defense.

[Lamar Doom]

let's see if we can get a whole page of people repeating that the defense in the highlights of a pickup game is bad.

:oldlol: I'm in San Fernando, what were some of the locations in the vid? Some looked familiar

[dab0yech0]

:oldlol: I'm in San Fernando, what were some of the locations in the vid? Some looked familiar

Yosemite Rec Center
Elysian Valley Rec Center
and the outdoor one is on San Fernando Road I forget the name of the place

[qrich]

Still need to put together an All ISHer Adult League squad.

[johndeeregreen]

Looks like fun. Man, it reminds me how long since I've played basketball - probably at least a year.

[sergiorodriguez]

i have no idea where yosemite rec center is

[lilojmayo]

crazy arc @ :35
yeah has great arc when he shoots.



I like Lamar's double screen for liloj towards the beginning.
double screens are pretty effective, not many ppl use it.


Nice mix. I think this was one of the first vids liloj made where I didnt get a shoutout.

Whatever, still awesome to see ISHiots get together and ball.

Since it was highlights of all the posters, and not just me I didn't feel it was appropriate to give shoutouts. I forgot to erase the ones at the end.

very old school. with the fundamentals.


oh f*ck, duhon's flesh and blood!

awesome stuff fellas. i'm pining for la right about now. were you guys victorious against some other clan, or were you dispersed on different teams?

mostly on different teams. yeah and that was duhon's brother playing also.

[dab0yech0]

Today me uclalegend32 looptroop and lamardoom hooped at Yosemite. We got 3 games in on the same team, won 2 lost 1. lamar doom was gettin the boards and playin very nice weakside defense, had a couple monster blocks. He would grab a rebound pass to uclalegend32 who would throw outlets to me or looptroop and we would wet it up

[RidonKs]

ontario pickup game? anybody?

lol, i'd probably have to make the five hour trek to teranna.

[lilojmayo]

You hung on rim barely even jumping. Can you dunk off vertical or a drop step? and who was the guy that dunked in the video.

First of all I made this mix so nobody outshines anybody else. I wanted so even that you couldn't tell who was better than who. I think i suceeded. I also wanted at little of me as possible in this mix. I had a lot of ankle breakers in the 2 indoor runs, points, offense rebounds, assists, blocks,steals you name, but couldn't put it on since it was a mix of everybody not just me, so i just picked a few of me not the best highlights of myself. Everyone else had more highlights also I could have put on also, so I did short change them also. Like dayboyecho is a really good outside shooter when he has the open look. I have played against almost every level of competition through my years from pee wee, rec ball to school ball, to practice with varsity as a freshman even AAU. He is one of the best open set outside shooters i have played with easily Top 10% i have played with. During pick up games I am very passive, but not to extent shown. I try to let everybody get theirs no matter what the score is I don't care about the score. I rather everybody get there's and loose then I baller hog it just to win. I practice everyday, sometimes I probably play more in a week than the whole other team combined plays in 2 weeks. So i rather let them get there's.

Ok i have seen this defense issue. First 80-85% of the people at those runs were between 25-30 years old even a few really OGs in their 40s. Almost all of them are out of their athletic prime speed/vert wise. Even Lamar Doom said that back in the day he could grab rim. A lot of them are also out of shape and father time won't allow them to get back on everytime. Me, I am the youngest by a wide margin from the median or mean, so I can run on them pretty easily when i feel like doing it. The defense isn't the best by any chance. Even i rarely even give half the effort on defense. It isn't as bad as it looks though. Their is alot of help D, so when you drive 4 people are surrounding you, so the perimeter players are wide open for jumpers everytime. Again most are out of their athletic primes so they don't like to move that much anyway so they just sit back in a zone.

Yeah the guy that dunked is my friend he is 6'8, he is a pretty good athlete for his size,slightly above average imo. He plays HS ball also. He is doing pretty well this year he is averaging 14 points and 9 rebounds on 69% FG, but 39% FT smh. I can dunk off a drop step easily, off vertical I haven't tried in awhie, but I couldn't before.

[Kobe681]

I live in the san fernando valley and try to get some ball in whenever I can outside of work and school. I would really be down to play if I can just get an invite. Where were these places exactly?

:lol I hear ya. I completely gave up on defense at 30.

[Automajic23]

LILOJMAYO got nice stuff in this vid.
Lamardoom i think i saw you throw up a corner shot

[LJJ]
