So basically ya'll scrubs can't shoot :beli: I wish somebody would line up at the free throw line for a free throw


We always played 33 (unless there's too many people we'd shorten it to 21)

-every field goal 2 points + 1 point for free throw (from three point line)..3 made free throws then take it up top
-fouls based on the honor code. you dont call out your own foul but if someone gets you its up to them to own up and say "his ball up top"
-travels/double dribbles again based on the honor code. if you know you :ufdup: then you give ball up to whoever was checkin you
-miss a free throw for the win then you go back to 25.
-anything that hits the rim you take it back. Airballs are fair game but nobody respects you for taking the easy one :mjpls:

Yep, All of this around this way, except for 33. It was always 21 (other numbers mentioned adjusted accordingly)

Nah ya'll just playing with ya'll set rules. In VA everyone I knew shot from the free throw line and the last shot to get 21 was always the one shot from the 3.

Free throw line was too easy, we made cats shoot from 3/top of the key. And that was still too easy for some cats:sas2:

shyt I forgot all about 21. I’m reading the first page thinking it’s about pickup games to 21 and dudes were talking about free throws. I was confused as hell till it clicked

21
everything inside 2 pts
everything outside 3pt line = 3pts
the free shots are 1s shot from the 3pt line
if you're at 20 and miss the free shot down to 15
Tips if called.

This, only thing i have to add is 3 and out, and first freeshot made is 2pts, otherwise this is exactly how I played coming up
