Maybe I should offer 10 bucks to the tipjar for every face hit captured on video. That make make the games a little more interesting.
Judging by how you looked Saturday I don't think you could manage to get an elbow up near my face. Maybe the kidney. I own the lane son, when I come in to collect rent you better have it.
when i play with my friends i have to usually guard the other team's bigger player so i play like a bug man. keep in mind that i'm a small dood, 5' 10" and 150 lbs but i love posting up when i play offense, jump hook or a kobe fadeaway are my go to moves.....when i don't have to guard big people i use the good old crossover
Some of my moves are in hiatus until I get back into some sort of shape. (yes, I know round is a shape ) Anyway... 1) Game-winning bank shot 3 pt from the corner with Yaozer's hand in my face 2) Poking the ball away when a much quicker defender tries to get past me with a full head of steam (was much better at this in HS) 3) Passes that have no business being thrown that land right in your teammate's hands in perfect position for whatever he was going to do. 1 is a regular , 2 is slowly coming back, but no where near, and 3 is slowly but surely making it's way back, harder to get the ooh/ahh factor on this though when it's 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 though.
@ Greg, i've seen some guys do a fake jump ball and while the ball is tossed up, one guy pants' the other team's guy while he jumps. Hilarious indeed.
1) My favorite is receiving the ball on the left side of the court, behind the 3-pt line. I stand there while another teammate comes over to run behind me as if I was supposed to pass him the ball. He runs behind me, I fake the handoff, and take-off towards the rim for an easy lay-up. My defender gets caught up with the other defender, thus causing an easy lay-up. Just did this yesterday multiple times throughout different games and worked 90% of the time. If there's someone under the basket, dish out to the person open on my right. Or if both defenders decide to crash on me, dish it back out to the original "receiver" of the ball. 2) Haven't done it in a while, but the post-up, fake to the right, fake the turnaround jumper, and go for the under lay-up (forgot the term). If the defender doesn't take the bait, just pass it back out or go for the turnaround. I did this to a friend this summer and his reaction was priceless. The "I can't believe he pulled that off" look. He posts here so I don't want to embarrass the guy. 3) Pick & Roll but so far I'm subpar at getting off a good pass
Crossover,speed move..... drive the lane or go baseline to the hoop....finish or dish for the easy one. I ended up with 11 -12 casts from ankle problems over the years coming down and rolling it on playa's feet with this maneouver though.
My favourite move.... MY FAVOURITE MOVE: Making a jump shot. Lol, seriously, to be making a jumpshot is the best thing possible, but before that, my favourite is a jab step, clears a nice space for a wide open jumper.....swish!
