I’m rocking some oldie T-mac 3’s, and they’re not as bad as people say. My ankles have been fine, and the lack of support there actually gives my feet/ankles more room to flex and move. I do want some ankle highs though just for appearance…
My friends talked me out of skating today to play some hoops. Played about 5 rounds of 3 on 3, my jumper was off.
I was playing with a bunch of dudes from Washington DC. A couple were wearing long johns under their shorts, it was kinda funny 
.
why is it…i was playing a game of 50 last week in some timbs and was always the second top scorer the whole game?
Damn, 50?!
Actually, now that I think of it, I could definitely succeed at a game like that; but no one I play with ever suggests a game so drawn-out and smoker-unfriendly…
its like 21 but every normal shot is 5 and foul shots are 2 and three pointers are 3.
Oh. Play me in that by 2’s and 3’s and it’s ON!
Hey man, don’t talk about DMV gear son…LOL
A guy that regularly plays at the Y wears tights under his shorts…:looney:
^damn you niggas play weird in Mass. If were not running 5s then we’re playing a ruff. Game 21…everything is One pt.
That’s usually how we play here in IN. Games of 21 or 32 with about 8 people involved, and when a couple more show up we almost immediately pick up teams and run full-court…
In the morning, we play to 7; no twos. 5 on 5; last game to 11
in 21 we playing normal shots are 2 points and foul shots are 1. breaking the ice u get 3 points. and then if ur playing tippin, u can easily lose ur points if someone tips ur shot back in.
didnt realize street ball game rules were regional lol. i love it when i can block peoples shots since i’m 5’8 most people are bigger than me…but dont expect me to jump so high…i can touch rim…need to train my legs this summer for dunks.
Reminds me of my childhood when we would play “iron man” rules, 1-1 or 2-2 first to 60 pts by ones with taps . That shit kept us in shape.
Although I admire DMV cats for being proud of where they come from it blows my mind how you can just TELL someone is from DC by how they dress. Is it like one guy up there setting the rules and lingo on some E-40 shit?
jesus 1 on 1 to 60 wit taps?! that game is truly iron man style. id try to break ankles mad quick.
LOL, naw…ziggas up there make rules up as they go. One thing I hated about ballin’ back home. :annoy:
Weather is going to be nice this week (towards the end)
Anyone have tips on Dunking?
So there’s two different groups I play with: one with some older guys (old school players, but actually pretty good and know their fundamentals i.e. PASS THE BALL) and the younger college group around my age (i.e. I’M GOING ONE ON ONE EVERY TIME). Now, there’s a different set of rules each play by:
Older group: No 2s, all baskets count as one, play to 15, defense calls fouls
Younger group: 1s and 2s, play to 15, offense calls fouls
Now, I’m of the opinion that the first way is more honest (although no 2s kind of suck) because there tend to be a lot of bitches that call a foul on even the slightest bit of contact playing the other way. What method do you guys play?
Older group, play to 7; no 2’s
Anyone can call the foul, most of the time you get it from the defense.
I stopped playing with people my own age (26) cause of the reasons you stated above. Too much talking, not enough playing
5’6 160lb i was good back in the day not soo good now played in atbleague Great league very competitive … of course team awol took home the trophy
Defence calls fouls??
What the FUCK? Is this common, because i’ve never ever heard of that shit in any type of street ball i’ve played.
old school 21 is where it is played some bball last week
