Streetball 'slang' in yo area?

[Rake2204]

"nice shot" - a term used to describe the occurrence of a player making a shot in a skillful way.

"pass" - a word used by a player when he wants the ball.

"you suck" - a vulgar, foreign and seldom-used phrase used to describe a player whose skill level is not adequate to play competitively with the other players occupying the court.

"****" - a word i usually use after taking a shot.

"sorry" - this usually follows the above word.

LA lingo is kinda tricky

Yeah it's about the same here except sometimes players will say "ball" rather than "pass" sometimes, depending on how high the demand is for the basketball at that particular moment.

Other than the ones already mentioned:

Eye ball - hitting a jumper right in someone's face
Booty hole - same meaning as asshole
