    Re: The worst pick up players.

    Hey, this thread's still going? Nice. Ok, here's a couple more:

    - the reacharound spinner
    That guy who'll always do his ******* spin move where he'll blatantly shove you off-balance with his off-ball hand. When you call him on his bull***, he'll roll his eyes and say "Yeah, whatever, man."

    - master exploder
    He'll be almost nonexistant for the whole game, then all of a sudden, the tiniest thing like a false call sets him off and he goes into full rage mode. Veins pulsating and on the verge of crying, you're afraid he'll sock you if you get too close.

    - the back to the basket shooter
    He's no baller, but he's tall. So to get him involved on offense, you feed him the ball in the post every once in a while. And every. single. f'in. time, he goes straight up and tries to turn around while in the air. Gets blocked every time.

    - the fake wall
    He's so unbelievably bad at setting screens that not only would it have been easier to get past your man without that screen, but no - he'll even manage to slide in your path sometimes. He'll also always pop when he should have rolled and vice versa.

    - the law
    Whenever there's the slightest bit of ambiguity on who tipped it out of bounds, this guy either yells "our ball" or just inbounds it straight away like it's not even up for debate.

    - the Benjamin Button
    He's past 40, always complaining about his age, but is easily the best guy on the court. He plays like you did when you were about 25. And now, ten years later, with your knees, ankles and shoulders already running on fumes after 20 minutes of action, you have to watch that guy. And every time you realize how old he is, you die a little inside.
    EDIT: Also, he's a really stand-up dude. A real teamplayer. Just an all-around great guy. He'll pat you on the back when you do something stupid, he'll get you back up when you fall down. F*** that guy, I hate him!

            Honestly, this entire thread is why I prefer to play 21 when I play with random people now. I dont get a chance to play often so when I do, I really hate playing with people who are somehow both ball hogs and ****ty at basketball.

              What're your guy's thoughts on stealing inbounds passes while playing full court? Fair or foul?

                I think it's fair. Rarely happens, but if you're running full court I don't see a reason you can't sneak in and steal a pass. I mean I'm assuming you're playing by the rules, where inbounding the ball is required, backcourt is being called, etc.

                Should be fair game.

                  Totally fair.

                  Unless it's one of those situations where the game's just started and there's a new guy who's still trying to put a face to all of his teammates and the defender pretends to be on his squad so that he'll pass him the inbound and yield an easy hoop.

                  I wish I could say I've always played among folks who are above that, but I've seen it at least a few dozen times over the past few decades.

                    Dunno why it would be foul. Were people you play with complaining about it?

                    Dudes try this every single day, way too often, in the gym I play at. They love their gambling D. Enough schmucks fall for it though - someone gets scored on, feels bad about themselves for a second, puts their head down while nonchalantly inbounding the ball and boom - a defender pounces for a steal and a layup.

                      Yeah, last week I stole the ball of inbounds three times from the same guy. The first one was cheap because it was at the beginning of the game and I let him chalk it up to not knowing I was on the other team, so I gave them the ball back. The second one, he just threw a lazy pass and intercepted it and took it in for an easy layup. Then the third time I was back there again and he threw the towards my legs in an attempt to either get it back for himself or make it go off me out of bounds, but I moved back in time and the ball ricocheted up to me and I got another layup.

                      Then he said, "who plays full court in pickup games?" and I just kind of shrugged and kept playing. I certainly wasn't doing it every time they inbounded the ball or anything. It was just probably four or five times throughout an hours worth of ball. Plus, I've been playing with the same group of guys for the past 7 or 8 years and I've no one has ever had a problem with me or anyone else doing it before. I guess he was just annoyed that it worked that many times, but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some "unwritten rule" about it so that's why I asked.

                        Yeah he must have just been frustrated. Can't throw lazy passes and not expect them to be picked off.

                          Rule #1 of pick up:

                          When disrespected, resort to physical violence to assert dominance.

                            The funniest fights are when a guy is getting cooked and tries to fight the guy who's giving it to him (no homo). Like bro, you just making yourself look like a bitch.

                              Yeah, just sounds like that guy sucks. If I were you I'd tell his teammates to stop letting him inbound the ball.

                                I played pick up with some teens this morning and they kept dropping 2k references the entire time:

                                "He's a gold finisher", "silver deadeye" etc.
