Fastbreak and 3s.. I never play a full court game in the hood.

I rarely see anyone post up anymore or see someone call for the ball in the paint. I literally saw a 6'3 dude post up a 5'7 or 5'8 chinaman at the 3pt line then shoot a fadeaway and miss

I try to hoop at least twice a week. I used to do it 5 days a week and as a teen I did it everyday of the week.

The one thing I've really noticed lately is the lack of passing I.Q on the hoop court. Most cats aren't interested in passing and those that do aren't very good at it.

I always took pride in being a willing and exceptional passer which makes people love to hoop with me, it also makes your teammates like to give you the ball because they know they'll get it back.

The passing shyt was so true. Last time I played me, this foreign cat from like Brazil, and an older white dude ended up against three college age black dudes. Going one on one none of us could keep em in front of us. But are rotations was cutting that shyt and we'd switch off and cut off the passing lane forcing turnovers like that. My man couldn't shoot so I just backed way off. On offense we just killed em with cuts and crazy passing. shyt was just too beautiful. Beat em 16-2, 16-4, and 16-3.

I agree I wouldn't hard foul/play dirty against any one man or woman.

Im just saying don't let her take you out your game cause you trying to take it easy on her And she's hitting open shots cause you don't wanna play defense against her.

Funniest shyt I seen was this shorty that played college ball. She was cooking my boy so bad that at one point I just sat on the ground on offense. She was a dirty ass player. The type to see somebody running down the court not looking so she'd come up and nail em with a pick in the ribs. She would trip cats. Hard fouls all that. Thing was she was only like 5'6 and I had to cut multiple dudes off from trying to fight her. I could always guard just cause I had the wingspan and could jump high and fast enough to block her jumper with ease so could play far enough off her to prevent the drive at the same time. I used to think I could shoot but we'd play around the world and she never went three full rounds without going all the way around and back.

When you're running a real competitive full court game all your problems and worries go away while you're on the court. If you're going through it with your woman a game of hoop will make you forget all about that shyt.

It's an escape mechanism. I never done drugs but I'm sure it supplies the same escape, at least for me it does.

I be running around trying to get open from corner to corner on some klay Thompson shyt, expecting to get some high quality pass off penetration....never happens

but once I do get that ball.. (once a dude is trapped or loses his dribble)...best believe that shot is going up
