How do you guys score pick up basketball?

[F0nz0]

First to 11 if there a few teams waiting or first to 21

3=2
2=1

but out here you gotta win by 2

I've lived in Brooklyn and Atlanta for extended periods of my life....and its always been 5 on 5 full court, 2 points for behind the arc and 1 point for inside.

Co-sign. It has always been that way since I picked up a basketball. Sometimes if you want to play a quick game...play to 11 or 15. Standard is 21 with deuces.

So yall play with two pointers having the same value as free throws :ljpls:

You play pickup games with freethrows?

 

[Bilz]

Where I play, it's always 1s and 2s up to 11, 13, or 15 depending on how many people are waiting.

 

[mozichrome]

we play 3 on 3, or 4 on 4

we score by 2's
for deuce game, win by 4

 

[Scustin Trillberlake]

you obviously never played with street nikkas

Street dudes can't handle my Dirk Blood.

 

[bigrice25]

win by 2 takes too long man!! cats start cheatin and shyt.
gotta play straight up, game point is game point...

but you go by 1s if your playing on a side court, usually there is no 3pt line on those. I like to play by 1's the game is more street like, grittier... hard to explain...

[THE MACHINE]

1s and 2s to 16...win by 2 or first to 21

 

[KingJudah]

Lol, I've never played where 3's didn't count as 2 and 2's didn't count as 1.

OP must be playing with Steph Curry and Ray Allen.

ni99as j is garbage he wasnt tryna lose

 

[black crown]

We play 1s and 2s to six(16) If its first or last game or no people up...any other games to 12 or 14..Call at the beginning of the game if you're going straight or deucing. Thought that was universal

 

[NonPareil]

1's and 2's to 11. Anything else is uncivilized
