when your playing pickup ball. like in the gym at school or whatever. and people get mad at certain things you do. Like if a girl plays. and you throw it off her Foot or shoe cause she wont move and shes like playing blocking type defense. i got stuck and i wouldnt constantly throw it off her foot and they got mad saying i cant do that.
i mean these people are stupid. if a girls going 2 play then play the right way. or like if you play agressive and stupid people get mad and they will like try 2 get u back. had 1 kid push me while i was in the air taking a shot.
you almost wanna kill those type of people.
or they get ma and like u go 2 take a charge or defend a shot and they stick there knee up and ram it into your stomach.
ppl who had bad attitudes when they play or never pass the ball.
or like if you play hard.. im the type that i dont wanna lose any game. and i cheer my guys on, and u kno i wanna win... and there like its just a game... not 2 me it never is...
dont u hate those ppl?

Cool off, man! It IS just a game. If you play on the school team, or in a league game, THAT is when you should use your competitive edge to your advantage. You gotta know how and when to turn in on and turn it off. Anger managment, dude. And, c'mon, you gotta be smoother with the ladies... bouncing a ball off their foot's not really ...cool. If it's just a pickup game, then take it easy. Wanting to win is nice and all, but you're taking yourself too seriously if you act like that in pickup games. If you calm down, then other people won't give you the crap.

I will tell you what I hate.

I hate people who call fouls almost ever possesion.

I play at a center on weekends where I practise with my team. The coach likes to set up 1 on 1 games near the end. He will match up players and that's who you are stuck with the whole time. I play against (Jermiah) I hope you reads this lol.

He calls a foul on almost every possesion. I mean Sometimes im a meter away from him and he will call foul. It pisses me off to the max.

I never take it easy on anyone. Basketball is more than a game it is a religion if you act like a jerk in the middle of a game you shold get off the court. I especially hate when people make fun of you for trying TOO HARD! Those people are usually just jealous of your skills. Anyway, If people get mad at you for guarding a girl who gives a heck keep doing it and shutting her down. Geuss what? You get the ball if you guard her well and steal it! Then you score! Your team will win if you keep doing that.

**Crossword** · 06-10-2002, 08:03 PM

Hahaha... Jeremiah....

Sorry

Anyway, yeah I agree with you. I hate people who call fouls on everything. i'm the type of guy who lets small fouls go, but I'm also honest, so if I actually hack a player, not just touch or anything, I call it on myself. But there are some people I play against who think it's the NBA. I swear, they call illegal screens, jump balls, we even used to have free throws! And this is pick up games... just play. You're not pros or anything, and you probably never will be. So just relax.

Oh, I will!

Recently I was in a three on three tournys and called lots of fouls on myself, even if there wasn't one. I do this early in the game so I don't end up with a rough game later on. They will see that I call fouls and that they shold too. Usually if I get a clean block but while it is still in there hands I call it.

I find that if you take the fouls and still finish the play that just the look you can give the defender is so much more satisfying than calling a foul.

It more or less says "I took what you gave me and I still scored". It's demoralising for them. If you can do that, you've beaten them mentally. I love the mind games

Tmac'sPack · 06-10-2002, 11:29 PM

I hate when you are playing against older guys and they foul the crap out of ya. I am like 5'8 and 14 so it happens a lot.

**Austin Kent** · 06-11-2002, 04:27 PM

I hate when you get hacked by someone but don't call it and then later on you foul them not nearly as much as they fouled you before but they still call something. That makes me like this guy
