That's what happens when you play schoolyard ball.

I dislike playing on nets with no mesh. It's a real downer.

GoRapz · 03-20-2007, 07:51 PM

I also hate going up for the rebound and rolling your ankle on someones foot. But hey, who doesnt?

Happened to me again last week.

I hate when i play with people that cant play defense or know how to move the ball. And people who are afraid to go for easy layups or shots when they are wide open just cuz they are afraid to miss.

I hate when I'm playing 2's or 3's and 5 *******s come in insisting we get off the court so they can play full. **** you. We were here first.

Hackers. I play "street rules" just like everyone else, but you can't just be holding your stiff arm out to the side when I get past you. You can't just grab my shirt and pull hard (that's the key) on every cut I make. When I play people like this, I'll tell them straight out, "play the right way or I'm going to embarrass you." And then I back up my words if they don't.

Guys who reach in for strips on every shot attempt, regardless of whether they have it measured or not. 80% of the time it's a foul (unless you get the rare guy with legitimately great hands), but you can't call it all the time or you'll look like a b!tch even though your wrist and lower forearm are red after the game.

Guys with tunnel vision when they have the ball. Guys who, even if you defend them well for literally 15-20 seconds and don't fall for any of their And-1 bvllsh!t, will just keep the iso alive for another 20 seconds. No sense of shame or decency with these guys. Guys who will go apesh!t if they catch you with the slightest move one time, but don't want to hear sh!t when you put 5-7 baskets in a row on them.

And like GOBB said, muscleheads posing as ball players thugging it up.

I hate playing on the same team as a ball hog. Especially that little guy who can't shoot, but he's launching up 20 footers and running around dribbling ignoring everyone else. Then he won't play D or anything. It sucks to play on the same team as those guys especially when you know you're better.

Also 1 or 2 weeks ago I was scoring on this guy a couple times. Then he goes "no more points!!!!!!!!!!" I keep scoring on him and he starts elbowing me in the head whenever I'm close to him.

I hate when people call stupid fouls that are ticky tacky and then the next possesion they call the same kind of foul and say check up man.

Then i hate guys who just play to foul and talk ****.

When you're calling the score after every basket... then all of a sudden they say "remember that shot i hit" we have 1 more...

Whatever man, take it, you suck.

Getting kicked out for dunking. I think I have been kicked out of every fitness center in my city atleast once, and the best gym in town always has ******* overzealous, commonly racist, staff who take it to a ridiculous level where you will literally get kicked out if you jump too high on a finger roll layup. They always come and kick someone out, then people start arguing, so they kick more people out and threaten to call the Military Police, then everyone else just leaves out of frustration and we can't hoop no more

AppleNader · 03-20-2007, 09:49 PM

I hate when people show up with guns and start shooting up the place

number23 · 03-20-2007, 09:49 PM

Why in Gods name would you get kicked out of a gym for jumping too high? lol i believe it's time to take that to the authorities.....

HaNdLe ThE RoCk · 03-20-2007, 10:19 PM

yeah i was in a league at the Y and we had to forfit because we only had 5 players and our big man dunked it nasty.

How Stupid.

GoRapz · 03-20-2007, 10:35 PM

I hate the guy who plays extra seriously...he gets down in his jean van claude defensive stance...he's all agressive and thinkin he is doing something but is really HACKING you.

exactly.

it's so rare you actually find someone willing to try on defense and when you do it's always this guy. he has this really serious face and it's his mission to stop you... then you throw one jab step and he goes flying. bucket. from then on out it's nothing but handchecks, reachins, and getting your elbow when you shoot.
