Coli ballers: What are your rules on clearing the ball?

[Buggsy Mogues]

Bunch of weak ass ballers in here telling on themselves
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.

Breh it's nothing but a bunch of Lavar Ball lookin old ass nikkas out there in their And1 shorts and Team Jordan's camped out under the basket waiting to grab a board

How long they wanna b playing 21?
At some point--right before u just go head and play 5z--u just let everybody put it back in to finish the damn game.

I'll never forget this 30 man 21 game and dudes was taking it back and throwing up 35 footers cause brehs was double teaming like Mike and Scottie on Kukoc

clear everything if you really tryna get it in
or if it's just leisurely clear shots off the rim

ITS CLEAR EVERYTHING .. AND THERES NO SUCH THING AS CLEAR ONLY AIRBALL. I THINK U MEANT CLEAR EVERYTHING BUT AIRBALLS.

Hell nah if u block a shot or get a steal u don't clear it

 

[DIMES]

So if y'all strip someone in the post y'all going right up? What kinda elementary school recess shyt is this?

Yes tf

If you're playing half-court, hold this L

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

Sounds like the type of guy calling charge in a pick u0 game.

This thread is hilarious to me because I can't remember the last time I played a pick up game where we weren't playing full court unless it was a game of 21 waiting for numbers.

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

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

Nah it's the opposite, I usually get 2/3 weakside blocks a game. I could never imagine grabing the ball and trying to go right back up, or dumping it off to someone at the rim. Seems like too much fukkery

If you can't find a spot that has more than 10 cats to hoop with, you need to find a new spot to play.

And if you're willingly playing half court when there's more than 10 dudes =

Facts. At Y down the street you have to hit up that list. Wait for 45 minutes just so some out of work baller's team is running the court (see:Whiteside).


But during the season it's . Multiple courts. Score keepers. Games for days.

This nikka was doing nothing but setting screens the whole game and rolling to the basket but could never finish. Then he camp out under the basket and try to put back a airball. Total cornball

 

[Brock Landers]

Any change of possession gets cleared shyt would get confusing to look at some dude blocking a shot and then going right back up to lay it in, a lot of people simply don't have the cardio

 

[Supreme365]

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.

We don't reward airballs

 

[InvictusAeternusEternus]

Only clear when it smack iron other than that you fukked.

Now if Im playing with a bunch of scrubs "maybe" Ill clear but that's more just to clown around.
