LOL, thats when you recieve a Kobe-esque arm swing after the jumper...

Theres also the "No easy passes guy"

Even a simple inbound becomes a issue....instead of a simple chest pass to the open guy...a spinning zip pass to the covered man under the goal is more appropiate....

I don't like all of the guys already mentioned but the one that bugs me the most is the guy who thinks he is all that. Tries to coach other guys, doesn't play team basketball, doesn't know how to play defense. Yea, that guy bugs me.

I have a friend that fits this descprition to a T. He's so notorious in our circle for his passes that we call them "Montgomery passes", his last name. Every pass he throws is either to high or at your ankles, and they all have a 10089378489 rpm side spin, all the while coming at you like John Elway was trying to squeeze it in between a triple team. The funniest part is that he compares himself to Steve Nash. The fact that he's a horrific shooter and his passing is the absolute worst, makes it hard to believe people are that blind to their own shortcomings....

This thread has me cracking up and wishing I still had my YMCA membership.
Here's a few I'm sure you all know...

The old sweaty guy who insists on being skins every game, posting you up and boxing you out relentlessly, on every play, but you're stuck covering him because no one else will.

The guy with goggles. Always pick him.

Yes! The "Coach on the floor" guy is so annoying. Often times they either were decent in HS about 100 years before or played 5 minutes in college and thinks that qualifies them to break down everyone's game, etc.

It only was a minor irritation when I was young, but as an adult (I've recently started playing again as I get back in shape) it flat-out drives me nuts!

I'll also add the "where I'm from..." guy. He's the one who makes excuses for his play or whines about the game at hand with "that ain't how we do it where I'm from." He's usually also the one (like some have mentioned already) who molests you in the air and asks "you call that?" on one end and then calls every ticky-tack foul he can think of when you D him.

Also, now that I think of it-the guy who yells "AND ONE!!!" after every shot that has a defender within a 100 mile radius of him...regardless of whether it even has a chance to go in or not.
