Anybody play basketball???

amirsan · Aug 06, 2003, 02:56 PM

Hey Hey Hey! I love basketball, I just got the AND1 Mixtape Vol. 6! I go every morning for one hour and every night for one hour to play. Its my favorite sport, anyone here on the same boat???

amirsan · Aug 06, 2003, 05:18 PM

So noone plays basketball?? Oh well, off for my one our practice now.

china444 · Aug 06, 2003, 08:50 PM

I play it.

I am OK at it, not the best in the world. It is my 2nd favorite sport, next to hockey.

Quasar1011 · Aug 30, 2003, 05:55 AM

I don't like basketball.

willemvanoranje · Aug 30, 2003, 08:22 AM

I play in a team. I'm a 17-year old, 6 foot 8 center. Topscorer 2 years in a row

(last year 24 ppg, before that 30ppg), and my shot sucks. Oh yeah, it's been three years since I last didn't have a double/double in points/rebounds. I don't play outside very often cuz:
1. except for summer weather sucks
2. my knees and ankles can't handle hours of concrete jumping
That kinda sucks.

Indoor I can't stop playing though

Too bad there's no free acces to the hall.

Amirsan, basketball is my favorite sport. If I could play it everyday for 2 hours, I would, but my schedule just doesn't allow for it. How I miss the days of hearing that "string music" after shooting over a defender for the victory! What a great sport!

Inter4 · Sep 04, 2003, 04:21 AM

I play it evey once in a while but I rather watch it on TV

HighlandWarrior · Sep 27, 2003, 10:24 PM

i played on my high school team as a guard(6' tall). It's tied with football(europes version) as a favorite sport. i don't watch pro basketball, bunch of babies...College is good...who's your favorite college team? i'm a hurricane(miami fl) fan (same goes for college football) pro football dolphins.

aaminion00 · Sep 27, 2003, 11:33 PM

no i hate basketball. I'm 5'11, which is slightly above average for my age, but I absolutely hate it.

man, this forum need some NCAA thread. for football and basketball..

I'm a Michigan fan in both sports. Especially football.

willemvanoranje · Sep 28, 2003, 07:44 AM

so there's a good euro football league?

WillJ · Oct 10, 2003, 10:47 PM

Basketball's my favorite sport too.

I'm taking gym this semester in high school, and get to play an hour and a half each day. After this semester (I'm in the first semester of my freshman year), no more gym, though, and I probably won't be able to play it much. I haven't decided whether or not I should try out for the team. (Probably not; not enough time. And I doubt I'm good enough.)

Unregister · Oct 11, 2003, 12:18 AM

whats basketball?

oh right...that sad excuse for a sport.

i play, just shooing around, or when forced to in PE.

willemvanoranje · Oct 11, 2003, 05:07 AM

right. You obviously don't really play basketball if you think it's a sad excuse for a sport....the game you play in school is nothing like it's supposed to be. (except for in the school teams of course)

WildFire · Oct 11, 2003, 07:02 PM

The NBA has wrecked basketball to the highest degree. I'm not talking about Kobe and his problem (but that could be part of it). All the showboting and crap has just made it awful. Personally, I hope Lebron fails HORRIBLY.

The only good basketball is the last two minutes of a game.

Archer 007 · Oct 11, 2003, 08:28 PM

I hate basketball. Seems to primative. Like all the high scores are suppost to make the game fun? Its a real bore if you ask me.

willemvanoranje · Oct 12, 2003, 01:59 PM

what makes it primitive compared to a sport you like?

HighlandWarrior · Oct 13, 2003, 10:11 PM

"seems to primitive", sounds like this girl has never played basketball.

willemvanoranje · Oct 14, 2003, 05:07 PM

at least not with the right people

Darkness · Oct 15, 2003, 03:35 AM

Basketball is my second favourite sport (after football off course

), but I've never played in any team. I just played with friends on an outdoor court near my house. And it was great fun, if we had enough people to make it at least 3-on-3 or more...
Though it wasn't as much fun if I wasn't on my younger brothers' team. (imagine a 6'11", 210 pound guy swatting away everyting the rest of us trows up, 'cause, with one exception, none of the rest of us is taller than 6'5").

samparish · Jan 09, 2004, 11:03 AM

I love playing ball, it's great. My problem is that I used to be tall for my age so I would play the 4 or 5. But i haven't grown now for 3 years and am 5'11 so have to play the guard spots or the three if we're going small. My jumper used to suck but being small now means i've worked on it a lot and it's respectable, but my ballhandling isn't really good enough as I was taught how to play as a forward, not as a guard which i now am. Nevertheless, I got by until i shredded my ankle a little while ago. 6 months minimum out they say, probably longer as i'll likely need surgery

believe me, not being able to play sucks, i REALLY wanted to go shoot this afternoon but just couldn't
