1 on 1
Yeah clear every thing
It feel kinda cheesy in 1 on 1 to take shots back up off rebounds


21
Depends, sometimes take it back
Sometimes go back up


If u close to 21 folks automatically expect u to clear the ball
No easy wins

We don't play 21 we play 33 and it's no paint till 12

Not if you get a steal a lot of the times youll already be behind the defense, clearing it out signifies a change of possession like getting a defensive board and going into your half court set....I'll be damn if I clear out a shot that doesn't hit rim,a steal, or block

THATS DUMB .. IN REAL BASKETBALL LEAGUES, IF SOMEONE AIRBALLS A SHOT, U STILL GOTA TAKE IT UP COURT TO THE OTHER SIDE. THE WHOLE POINT OF THREE ON THREE OR ONE ON ONE IS TO GET AS CLOSE TO THE REAL THING AS POSSIBLE.

if they shoot and miss (it hits rim) you bring it back out

if you steal or block their shot you don't need to being it back out

if they shoot it and it air balls or hit backboard you don't need to bring it back out you can go up and score

I CAN TELL WHO PLAY ON A HIGH LEVEL N WHO DONT

LMAO @ BLOCKIN SOMEONE SHOT AND THEN GOIN RIGHT BACK UP

yall really worried about getting your shot blocked with all that room on the court playing 3-on-3?:hhh: you're facing man-to-man defense all game, what kind of bum is repeatedly getting his shot blocked in that scenario:mjlol:

and even if you do get blocked/shoot an airball you got 2 other teammates who are probably in the paint or near the rim who will contest any layup on the airball you threw up

This.

But umm, OP what happened on the court breh? Y'all get in a fight after someone put back an airball for game?

It's literally never even been a debate. It's unspoken knowledge among 99.9% of people I've ever played with that you clear everything. I've maybe had one or two people who ever tried to put back a airball and everyone was like :dwillhuh:

Bunch of weak ass ballers in here telling on themselves :mjlol:
You have to clear any change of possession. Yall talking bout not rewarding broke jumpers, but you really just doing it so you can get an easy bucket. nikkas that really hoop, actually wanna beat the defense. All that other shyt is just cheap buckets. They the same nikkas that cherry pick in 5 on 5 :camby:
So you block a shot in the post, then spin around for a wide open layup?? :dahell: Shame on yall nikkas, we don't do that in Harlem :dame:
