Well, we aint pros if we playing in a local gym, or on the blacktop :manny:


None of us have contracts nor get paid, so why should we play "NBA" ball on the streets?

In that case why are people even playing halfcourt games? That isnt the way the NBA plays ball.


Do you realize how dumb that sounds? Like going by that thinking why bother following ANY rules? Like why even call travel or double dribble since it's not the NBA? :dahell:

The only reason you ever play half is cuz of lack of numbers, and if you're doing that the whole point of playing half is to MIMIC 5's. Thus why you would clear everything (because in 5's you have to dribble back up court).

There's no full court equivalent to catching an airball or blocking a shot and immediately putting it back up except for some cheap and corny shyt like cherry picking.

Shoot from three during 21 for points after the bucket... clear everything.. we play by 2s and 3s and points after your shot yield 1 point

and if you hit 20 during a game of 21 and you miss your free throw after or if your final point doesn't fall on 21 you go back to 15

Used to do the same thing but we'd go back to 13. Brehs would do the most to get to an even 21. Extra point we'd shoot from the free throw.

But whether it was one on one or 21 we played it with the same rules you'd play a 5 on 5 game. If you want possession you have to gain possession..and that meant scrambling for lose balls after shots.. That meant rebounding the ball

Step pops hated clearing old ass. Once I got bigger I bullied his ass of the rim that he would have to clear it just to get space to shoot.

Clear all to 3-point line but airballs and t/o's. Play 1 and 2's. Respect foul call.
