Re: The worst pick up players.
I hate gunners, especially when they are not hitting.
Yesterday I was on the court with a gunning, foul calling, argue the score --- bum. He was seriously the reason we lost and why most people hung it up early.
He turned me off after not getting the rock back to me for a heat check but instead decided to play iso ball.
I got a steal came up the court and splashed a three. The next possession I came off a double screen pulled up and splashed another three. At that point the old heads that normally say something about me being passive are yelling at my man not to give me room. Even if I didn't shoot the ball on the next possession it opened up the floor and would allow me to facilitate.
What does the gunner do? Isos and takes a leaning three with form that crossed Marion and Cartwright lines. But don't worry he missed.... and called foul smh.#WashedGamerComment

Re: The worst pick up players.
Man I hate the ones who always call foul. I remember once I did a clean block, hit nothing but the ball and the guy calls foul. The worst part was no one noticed that I blocked him so there would be no one to back me up in the statement but we were leading 9-4 anyway and I didn't feel like starting a fuss over it.Comment

Re: The worst pick up players.
I don't think I've seen headphones and I may have mentioned this a few pages back, but I have seen a guy this year who's been playing while blasting music from an mp3 player he has resting in his basketball shorts pocket. I had a hard enough time finally accepting that most basketball shorts now come with pockets (I wholeheartedly admit they're convenient for non-basketball situations) but I can't imagine playing a game with an iphone chilling on my thigh.Comment

I've encountered a few headphones guys... Irritates the hell out of me. Seems arrogant to me. Like the game doesn't deserve your full attention.Comment

Re: The worst pick up players.
The swiper - The guy who never stops reaching and slaps you over and over. I just hate stupid people and dirty players. And I hate streetball rules. Handchecking? ugh... no blood, no foul. Gtfo. Call your own fouls. If I hit someone hard, ill ask them if they want a foul, because some people are too proud to call it lol. And if you intentionally foul me or a teammate when I'm vulnerable in the air to stop a layup, you better expect some retaliation.Student of the game. #Fundamentals

Re: The worst pick up players.
I skipped ahead to the last page so if I repeat some my bad lol. Played some 4 on 4 pickup today at the gym and ran into some notable nuisances:
-Swiper: Already noted by you guys, but it's very annoying if he's on your team he gets beat off the dribble 9/10 times because he's not moving his feet he's lunging for the ball.
-Repeater: Pulls out the same "Go-to move" over and over that gets the D the first time but the D adjust and he hurts the team when he keeps going to it.
-No-look Zipper: Feels that all his passes have to be no-look 100 mph bullets that hit you in the head because you can't react in time to catch.
Pass out of shot-ers: They jump as if they were to shoot and then they pass it ten feet over your head because they're out of control. Don't leave your feet if you don't know what you're doing.
-Sandals: This is me too btw. But I can't stand when they get their feet stepped on and they have to stop because their big toe is killing them.
-Physical Female: I'm sorry but I really don't like guarding them. Because If I were to somehow accidentally land an elbow or get our feet tripped up I don't want to look like a brute knocking them over. I just don't like to be physical with girls on the court ok? lol
-Old Timers Rules: The Old Timer who says "pro hop, no such thing that's a travel". All of the younger players were like what? But to make the old timer happy we gave him the ball.
-Texter: Somebody says "Wanna run it again"? and everyone says OK but somebody has to check their phone and text someone for the next 5 mins causing a shoot around from everyone else till he's done.They got the big fella down there inside, and if you slow the game down a lot he'll get into position. You know he gone bang you all night.-Ben Wallace on Shaquille O'Neal at halftime, game 5 of the 2004 NBA Finals. Hope nobody takes this out of context...Comment
