to my 30+ brehs that still play ball

Some of y’all nikkas 40+ now huh

I shoot and handle the ball better than I did when I was in my 20s. I’m still pretty fast and still got bounce but it ain’t like it was 10 years ago.

I definitely can control the game better because I’m smarter but I just played pickup this weekend after having not played all year. I made plays but my offense was ugly. Gotta knock that rust off.

Rotator cuff playing basketball? How did that happen? Shoulder injuries are the worst if you’re up there in age.

A wild ass dude ran into to me like he was part of the Legion of Boom

I just bought a basketball this weekend...ain't hooped in 3 years it feels like. It's gonna be a rough come-back

 

[Dad]

YES! Between covid and age.

nikkas are hitting the Giannis spin move on me and I’m standing there stuck

 

[FukyourFort]

Got the Old man PG game.

sometimes I forget and still try to cross over and blow by people but I am scared of tearing my Achilles. When gyms open up again here I am changing my game completely.

Taught myself how to shoot with both hands though which has made me more crafty. My handles and layups were always tight with the left, but I can shoot 3s and jumpers now. My form is better with my left though

 

[Silky Johnson]

I can't sky like I used to in my 20's and definitely lost a step or two now that my 30's are behind me but my court vision, timing and IQ is .

I definitely play smarter instead of faster. If I had put it together back in my prime, I could've earned that walk on spot at school

Gonna try to get back into the swing of things once I come back from this leave, but I aint played ball since I tore my meniscus like 4 years ago

 

[GoldenGlove]

COVID ruined the runs

Man tearing anything is a bytch...

You never feel quite the same

 

[DetroitEWarren]

Breh my athleticism is declining its time to develop that old man YMCA game

You have had the hair do for years now already

 

[DjMe]

That's why I look at Kobe with the face because of how fast he is recovering.....

Thought this thread was from today.
Read this and checked the dates.
Now this threads almost 10 years old, the brehs in here that felt like they still had it are closing in on 50, kobe's gone, I got a kid of my own, and I'm in my late 30s trying to give father time a run for his money.
I wish I had the energy to give you youngsters some shyt for being dumb kids, but im too busy staring into the void and contemplating my own mortality.
Life's a fukking trip.

AND REALIZED I WASNT 30 YET
WHEN IT WAS MADE.

[The Villain]

New to the 30+ game. I’ll say this, it’s the landings and the falls that suck the most.
I can still get up, still got the same speed/quickness. But the shock on your knees landing, cutting is what has me making business decisions.

Also the ground hurts way more now
Gotta be calculated on when I do kamikaze drives.

 

[Mindfield333]

I’m 37 now… even though I’m in better shape now… I’m scared of a real injury.
