General Basketball Discussion!

[Saleen Man]

Post here to discuss everything basketball. Non-NBA that is. Talk about your game, give tips, post pictures, anything basketball you want to talk about that isn't professional. And thanks to a6m5 for the idea.

a6m5 - Yes, gold jersey top of the key with my boy's (Magic or J-Kidd - pick one) number. And like I said I have 2 more photos if you want me to put them up. Which brings me to my next question: How do I post multiple pics up at once?

 

[a6m5]

Coolness! 👍 Let's see more pics. I'll try get some pics of me this Thursday, when I play with my buddies.

Here is a pic from the warm-up of the same game. That is my home gym by the way, I really miss it too. That game was from our Annual Home Tournament (I know there's some more official name but I can't remember). The school just got glass backboards this year too, the year after I leave.

I'm hidden underneath the net in this pic.

Haha. Figures! Where are you in that pic, Saleen? I'm playing ball with the guys tonight, so I'll try to get somebody to take some pictures.

I'm under the net, hidden behind the asian guy on the right.

Alright here's the last pic I got, it's our post-season team photo, heh. I'm far right in the back row, on the left of our coach. Haha, it's a funny picture.

Right on, try to get a shot of you dropping a dime.

Nice pic. You look kinda bored though.

OK, I got pics that almost resembles real photographs. What happened was: 1) I'm the worst photographer I know. 2)Apparently, my helps were not any better. 3) I have the crappiest camera in the world. It's bright inside the gym, so I set the camera on the "indoor" mode. Everything came out dark to black. If I use the "night" mode, all pics comes out yellow. I can't win!

Anyways, sorry it took so long. I had to enhance the pics, so at least you can make out what you are looking at. Otherwise, it was all pitch black.


V Me in my favorite Rod Strickland/Washington Bullets Jersey. We play dark vs. whites.

V Me in my Stric jersey again. Cheapie Champion, but I love it.

V Happy about some shot going in.

V Talking **** to my friend, trying to get him to miss his free throw(to make teams).

V You can see DanTheMan, drifting away from me(looks like he's about to set a pick). Sneaky bastard! Why am I staring at the wall!

There was a pic of me dunking from the free throw line, but it came out too dark. Maybe in two weeks I'll have that for you. School's out next week, due to Thanksgiving, so we don't get the gym.

 

[Saleen Man]

I know you've told me before, but how much does it cost for you guys to rent a gym out every week?

My school's tryouts have already begun so I can no longer play there every week, so I'm finding it very tough to find time to play at all. I made some plans to go to the YMCA next week with a few guys, so hopefully that'll pan out.

Nice jersey. My favorite picture is when you're staring at the wall. WTF?

 

[a6m5]

They raised the rates, but it's still something like $2.75 per night, per person. We play from 9 PM to 10:30 or later, so it's really late by the time we are done.

Right on. My local recreation center with super nice gym, I think it's like $3, $4 to play for as long as you want. Unfortunately, they are never open when I want to play.

Thanks! That guy I was supposed to be guarding, Dan, he is one of those crazy hussle guys. No joke, after just 10 - 15 minutes, he's dripping wet with sweat. He's longer too(I'm 5'10", he's at least 6'1"), so he's quite handful!

That's very cheap. I wish I had something like that around here.

Yeah, that seems to be a problem. I finally get Friday nights off from work now, and that's the best time to play at the YMCA. We usually go around 7:30-8, and the younger kids are usually gone by around 9 so we get a good hour and a half of competitive ball before it closes.

Ugh, the "hustle guys". I hate covering them. Although in most cases with me the hustle guys usually aren't that skilled offensively so I don't have to worry too much about someone dropping 30 on me.

Darn! I knew I misspelled(I'm not sure on this one either!) that word. You are dead on about Dano. Total hustle guy, but I can keep his scoring low just fine. It's just that 'chasing around' part.

 

[Saleen Man]

Is anybody playing any organized ball here? Surely there's some guys that are playing High School right now.

My job sucks. Hard. I work 3:30 - Midnight 5 days a week. I really miss playing basketball all the time. And to possibly make it worse, I might not be getting that coaching job after all. I'll be finding out this week. But if I do get to coach, it will most likely be in an "Assistant" role. Blah. I guess that'd be good though, just to get some coaching experience under my belt. I hope it works out.

 

[a6m5]

If you want to be a coach, there's nothing wrong with gaining some experience as an assistant coach. Actually, I think all coaches should learn, study from other more experienced head coaches. Good luck man!

Haven't played basketball in ages . Last time was probably back in Summer. However i have just bought Nitric Blue Adidas T-Mac 3's, which has given me inspiration to go back to the court, will probably play today with some mates , see if i still have the McGrady power

I'm playing AAA ball up north in Quebec.

We are the best scholar team in the Province.

I'm a 6'1 175 lbs primarily a shooter but I can also dunk, slash and rebound since I'm a very physical guy.

If imageshack works I'll upload an image of my team.

Mmmmmmm..... T-Macs........... I have a cheaper version of the LeBron model. It's OK for the price. I got it for fifty bucks from the Nike outlet(I'm cheap!).

That'd be awesome. Just last thursday, my old buddy showed up to play ball with us. He's probably 5'11" - 6', and can dunk. Though I haven't seen him dunk in the game. I matched up with him and needless to say, I was owned. At least he couldn't make one three-pointer on me. Normally, he hardly misses.

This is me, no 11, while playing a local game.

Nice jersey. 👍 Best looking one I've seen for H.S. team.
