who here plays pickup basketball?
if so, where?

i usually play at 24 hour fitness (la mirada) and at my school.

any tales of crossovers, dunking on other asians, or african americans dunking on koreans?

[GO!zilla]

lol. i play pick up at local parks and such. it's usually with black people. at first i just shoot around and display a lil skills by myself or whoever im with because they don't usually think asians are good ballers. but yea, i can hang with them haha. i don't have any crazy crossovers or anything but i can pull off hang time shots and jason kidd passes

wow, i'm shocked the NBA thread is always filled with replies and when i come back to this one, there are only a few responses
i guess people watch more than they play...

[hypak]

i remember i went to this public basketball court with my cousins.
and there were a bunch of almost professional street ballers. all black, they were like
"i'm tmacs/hotsauces brother" haha...
they dunks then did like 10 pullups, one just dunked an jumped on the rim...it was crazy.

[aznboi1107]

I play at universities since they have the nicest courts.

[N Dey Say]

i play at my local park. I would play at my college but i need to get my schedule right first

[watcher]

i play out in this part in west LA... i get dunked on all the time... sheesh...

[RiderKamen]

i play basketball at my local part.
I haven't played in a long time and I'm surprised that I have the stamina to go up and down the court.
Even though I can run and not get tired so easily, my skills have disappeared from not playing

[xkrndreamer]

any girls who can ball?
i just guess not a lot of people play...

[xman150]

i play once a week with my friends at the district park thats in between two public housings. not much competition there, so to run the court most of our friends have to come out. there are some other places we play but like the place to find a good game is near the military housings.

I've played at CSUF & champions park (placentia-yl area) with some friends though, nothing serious. I'm too short to do any damage except for stealing when they're least expecting it.

My bf has played w/my friends too & at UCLA & at random parks in west LA (where he lives).

^you played at csuf before? cool!
i play there daily ever since the new rec center opened.

also, i've been to champions park!
it's huge.
champions park was in the movie, better luck tomorrow.

[JuWon6o]

hmm dont really have stories of me crossing over ppl rather the opposite haha,
but i actually made a couple ppl fall with my jab step this year and then make the J haha.

Yeah, the new rec center is reallyyy nice. there's always so many people there whenever we go.

o_0 i didn't know that, i probably should rewatch that.
Champions is a pretty nice outside court but we kept getting hit with soccer balls & baseballs last time...probably shouldn't go there on a Saturday morning-afternoon during their season

i play at the gym(la fitness) and some parks.....so people say i don't look like a baller.. watever that means and people say i wear "gay" clothes as a front. i have an alright jumper but im very streaky. yea so worst thing is when you are guarding a girl... its like a double edged sword. if you block her, you look like an ass but if she scores on you, you looke like an ass so yea. the best feeling in the world is crossing someone over then nailin the shot and then of course giving them a stare down. hah! im such an ass....

[RE.]

i play at the south coast 24 hr fitness. I usually play in the mornings around this time. The compitition becomes really good at 4 in the afternoon. I have been really lazy to play ball lately. I have different variety of shots and moves, but i rarely use them because i get tired quickly (i think its the small lungs i have... ahhahah). And so i dont really like handling the ball very much. LOL well unless the people i play with cant seem to pass.

[watcher]

seems to be a few heads in LA/OC who play... maybe we should all meet up someday and get a game going... haha
i try to play at LA fitness, but they're always so packed...

[mofo]

i used to play at a gym with some friends twice a week..but i haven't done that in like 2 years..i hate the first day back after not playing for a long time..so rusty, i have to rely on trash talking lol

[WeSLy]

I play Ball everywhere.

School, YMCA, Local parks (depending on who showed up)

I'm pretty decent so i get pick to play all the time.

Some pepz at the park call me "Chinese Iverson" funny nick cuz i'm not even Chinese at all. they assume all Azns are Chinese.

My style = Attacking Shooting Guard

I have decent jumper but i like to do crossovers and attack the basket (just like AI)
I was a big fan of "And1" back then, so i practice on crossovers all the time. I soon learn when i play High School basketball that all the And1 stuff i learnt is junk in a real game..haha
one thing i like to improve is Defense. I'm too lazy sometimes, i just want to guard your strong side and settle there.
