The Basketball Thread

After watching Chris Paul killing everyone with the floater my cousin been practicing it like mad. I can’t do shit against him no more it ridiculous.

Just take the ball away when he brings it low before the shot. If you can’t get it on the way up, get it while its down at his waist…

I ain’t Bruce Bowen :lol: he ultra fast to he was one of the fastest player in the state during HS. I basically need help defense if I want to get the ball away from him. Even with that shit still hard :sad:

^does he have handle or is he just fast?

Try to think about stealing less and play “bumble bee” defense. Keep your hand in his face and move your feet (stay on your toes, not heels). Keep either humming or buzzing (like a bee) while your close.

Reason: Honestly, when you hear a bee, what do you do? Look around to see where it is:smokin:

Yeah, call a double team and stick a hand in his face. I used to have trouble defending against that shit too, but stick a hand right in their face, and their shot goes wild.

^thats what pump fakes and fade aways are for :wgrin:
so yea…putting a hand in someones face can only do so much.

yeah, I love hitting a shot on someone who thought a hand a couple inches from my face was going to make me miss…

I ain’t playing with no scrubs man :lol:

As for the hand in the face thing obviously I do that what I was saying was that he got the floater down so well it almost unguardable like a fade away. I’ve seen him float that shit over mother fuckers up to 6"8.

^then poke him in his belly button. I guarentee he will miss if you do that. Just dont do it too hard…

Fadeaways are a bitch, but even then, an attempted block will heavily affect the percentage. Pump fakes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> me though. :bluu:

The pump fake will demobilize any shot blocker every time…unless they’re a freak with the spider arms and such (I’ve played against those o_0)

That would be me…LOL

Jump with my right to block, guy pump fakes and goes to shoot, I block it with my left…guy standing there like :wtf:

^^ That’s when the shooter must go to the floater…again. I don’t use mine so much, but against Shaq-daddies, it’s necessary…

I played hoops about an hour ago, I haven’t felt this good playing ball in a long time.

I’ve started to play in the mornings before work; i’m impressed by the skill level thats there in the mornings. Its mostly old school cats (40-60s) but man, they can still play.

I’ve found that my legs don’t wake up with the rest of my body though LOL. I guess that happens when you hit the court at 0545 in the morning

Good thing I’m still a youg’n with young’n legs, cause my hops is outta sight! But for real, I’d never play that early in the morning…

Old niggas cheat like hell though :rofl:, and they always make funny hooting noises when they play offense.

Old school cats call every move a carry and they hack like shit…:lol:

they usually can shoot tho

Yea, they do some old school hooking shit that new players don’t really know. You right though, my arms and knees are red as hell cause of all the hacking. You need to earn your shit when you step on the court!:rofl:
