here in southern california you can always find 5's at just about any park around 5 pm - 8 pm. a lot of times you'll actually have to get next game (or next next, etc)

Here in Ireland there's only like one or two outdoor courts in my city which are battered and always empty. The only one near me is in a heavily gypsy populated area and it can get rough at times. I've never seen anyone play on that court which sucks. I got a hoop in my backyard though so it's all good.

Another aussie here. From a small town, of about 100 000, only 4 courts where i have ever seen actual ballers play.
and they are terrible courts. There are 2 indoor courts played at, 1 never opened at a school, the other a basketball association where all the organized games are played is always full of teams training or games 4 days a week.
Never get to play with anyone decent. although there was one guy who used to come down, got offered a D2 scholarship, but he had a daughter and stuff.

i am from Europe... lived in Denmark, now in Bosnia and the courts outside are mostly empty everywhere...
i have dreams of playing in Venice Beach LA, Ruckerpark NY and so on... anybody ever played there?
I'm from Europe too but I've been to NYC/LAL before and I've visited all the famous courts like Rucker, West 4th, Goat, Kingdome, Venice Beach etc. It was awesome to play on these legendary courts, but it's not like these courts were crowded all the time or all the players there played like pros. West 4th and Venice were probably the most busy courts (at least at the time when I was there).
Where I live you usually find easily some guys for a pick up game but in smaller cities the courts are empty, since basketball is not that popular here...
