For us taps was just jumping in the air and passing the ball back and forth. Couldn't touch the ball with your feet on the ground, whoever messed up first was the loser. Mad fun

All we played for was pushups, candy, those 50 cent freeze pops, and who got to hop on the sticks first.

Never called it boonks but we did play a game called Butt On The Pole

Basically 33 and the loser gets the ball thrown at his ass.

Only played it a couple times

Things were different back then so it was ok.

I remember butt on the pole. Btw it wasn't just "loser" it was the person with the lowest points. However in all the times When nikkas said we'd play it I don't think anyone actually ever did it. Maybe once.

You're talking about the game taps. I think @smitty22 was referring to taps as a part of 33 (or 21 or whatever number you went to). If someone missed and you tapped in their shot (jump off the ground and put it back in before landing back on the ground) then they go back to zero. Three taps and you're out.

[tremonthustler1]

We played Suicide where you threw a handball off a wall and you had to catch it with one hand. If you dropped it you had to run to the wall before someone else picked up the handball and threw it at you. If you got hit three times, booties up with a handball.

You from BK and never heard of some variation of 'asses/butts up'? Yall nikkas created most of this shyt. I remember Skellzies, boxball, stoop ball, five box etc etc - all these were basically dying out when I was growing up in the '90s.
