    How do you feel about it?

    For some reason, it's always bothered me when an alley oop is near the rim, inside the protected area. A defender can't tell if it's a shot and 1) will commit goaltending or 2) will commit to jumping and thus screwing up his box out or chances to get a rebound if the shot misses.

    The alley oop won us Game 2.
    If it confuses the defense then it's that much better.

    It should be illegal.

    It's my favorite play, but I also like the give-and-go

    I feel uncomfortable when seeing alley-oops, they're witchcraft and the responsible players should be burned.

    this reminds me...head fakes piss me off too. I can never tell if I should jump or not.

    and btw: what do you think of crossovers crossover.

    Blocking is illegal. You can't just deny someone of their right to shoot a hard-earned basket.

    the Dreamshake should have been banned, you cant go to one side, then change it and go to the other side, just make your mind a pick a side, so the defender can block your way. :grin:
