    I have another one:

    The Human Lowlight Reel

    1. Defense is non existent other then the lame failed attempt at a weak side block.
    2. Everytime he has the ball he insists on trying to contrive the most spectacular play with pisspoor results. (ie. Doing an extra acrobatic switch-hands, 360 spin layup when he can just keep it simple, Has to pull off a killer crossover before he can progress into any semblance of scoring.)
    3. Doesn't pass the ball, but if and when he chooses to do so, it MUST be overly flashy, behind the back, no-look, between a dudes legs etc. And it 99 percent of the time results in a turnover.

    Sucky rat b*stard.

    I can so relate to this. The tall guy that shoots 3's is me. I ****in hate it when people tell me to just stay down low when I can shoot 3's and jumpers pretty damn good.

    I'm the my bad guy.
    Although, I don't mess up nearly enough to say it every possession.

    Does anyone else here hate the player coach guy? I mean, I guess if you're a casual guy who's played basketball only a few times before then maybe his tips would be appreciated, but for some of us that have played basketball on organized teams, and know how to play it comes off as condescending and it really pisses me off.

    I really don't need some jackass who thinks he's a basketball guru to tell me how to play my game.

    Three guys I see most often that are missing in the video:

    1: Wannabe And1 Ballers that try to pull off all kind of dribbles and flashy passes but can't execute these at all. Piss you off because they don't help your team and turn the ball over most of the time.

    2: Wannabe Kobe/Iverson guys that always look for the hardest shot possible, most of the times when going 1on1 with the defender in their face.

    3: Overcompetitive white guy with a headband and long socks, jersey. Doesn't have any basics down, no skills but tries to make up for it by playing aggressive as hell, fouling, going for contact layups all the time(high dribble, head down).

    I swear, if I could shoot decent, I'd be a hell of a player. I was decently athletic, decent length on arms, but could not shoot the damn ball.

    Imaginary dunker. I jump better off two feet than one, though.

    In my early years, I used to be jump off one foot guy. I don't know what happened after that.

    I now jump jump off two feet if I'm going for a failed dunk.
