      Well are you in shape? Have you ever played basketball before?

      I would start running first and get in shape as basketball can quickly wear you out running up and down the court.

          Throw the ball through the hoop.

              Yeah, either hoop. A basket is a basket.

                And you can't run with the ball. It's funny when a hot girl does it, not codyjohnpaul.

                    Guys, go easy on him. It's not like he can learn anything about playing basketball well by watching the Cavs this year

                      Try to be a shutdown defender. Kids these days only care about scoring. You will stand out more among coaches if you hustle and play defense, don't let all of your football mentality leave you. Be really aggressive.

                        If you were at my high school, you'd be in good shape to make the basketball team since all of the football players who tried out made it, regardless of whether they were good or not. And yes, after 19 years, I'm still bitter...

                            I most certainly object.

                              Yea, i need to get back into playing ball. I have gotten way out of shape and Im only 21. I havent played in awhile so I dont just wanna show up to the games I used to play in without touching the ball in a year.

                              I am like 6'5" about 210 tight now (I would like to get back down to 190-200). I am lanky and have little upper body strength. Would be nice to develop some, but I have little desire to lift weights. And it can not hurt that I quit smoking a few weeks ago. Athletically I am not great, and know that in alot of things I cannot be great, but I would recommend you do as I do, and try to play fundamentally sound ball. Hit your open shots and layups, make good passes, and play shutdown D.
