I embarrassed someone pretty bad when playing soccer. One winter day, after the snow melted, we got excited that we could play soccer again on the grass. On one play, I dribbled past the last defender and saw the goal-keeper coming back me fast. The dude was British and was talking trash all game long. I did a soccer equivolent of a bball cross-over and left him on the muddy ground. I actually left the ball on the goal line without kicking it in and just jogged back. While he was still in the mud looking incredulous, I walked right by him on my way back and gave him a nasty stare. My teammates were on the ground laughing. That was my moment of glory... Oh, we are talking bball here. I played with one white kid from South Carolina and he was dunking like it was nobody's business. I mocked him for not finishing on a dunk once. He stopped the game, asked me to stand underneath the basket, and did a Vince-Carter-on-Frédéric-Weis-dunk on me. I was floored.
I was embarrassed a few years ago.. this dude was faking a shot and he bounced the ball off my FACE! and we werent really close, i wasn't playing D right up on him so he threw it with some force. first thing i thought was to charge at him to knock him the hell out but he was like aww man i was trying to bounce it off your chest but you moved. i was like BS! how the hell u gonna hit me dead in the face but u were aiming for my chest. so people were holding me back so i wouldn't lay the dude out. a couple of weeks later i crossed him and he tripped over his own foot. no one liked the dude so they messed with him about gettin crossed all week. this all happened at school btw.
I love doing the "stuff the ball in the back of my shirt" trick. They think the ball just disappeared into thin air and they start looking around confused like some jive turkey. Then I run to up the basket, take it out and make a sweet toilet bowl shot off the backboard.
dude im 5'7 and mexican...i get blocked all the time! i must say i have some incredible ups (for a mexican) although i cant dunk. if i dont double pump on a contested layup i would get swatted. and since it takes me a while to warmed up and do my double or triple pumps, i get swatted a lot in the beginning . the good thing is when i double pump or triple pump and i have two ppl trying to block me and i fake them all out in the air, and make the shot. then everyone says oooooooooo...i miss basketball i havent played in a while
I almost fell when someone tried to juke me but I used my hand to keep from falling does that count? Most of the time I give to little effort on D to get crossed though
I stuffed this dude hard on monday and went coast to coast afterwards......it was pretty gratifying and everybody there was yelling and crap, but i didnt wanna celebrate cause the guy i blocked could definitely break me over his head if he wanted to.
I think she may have been with some dude. Another story. This takes places in High School. I'm playing two on two, me and some dude in my little tv class vs two of the stars from our girls basketball team. You probably have heard of these girls because they play at a school that has an orange color to them not named 'cuse. One chick crossed me over pretty good, that's because she stepped on my foot, which cause me to fall backwards cause I was set going one way, then going the other way, but I couldn't because her foot was on my foot. But that's okay, because I swatted the **** out of the other girl. No I didn't apologize. I haven't learned how to do that yet. The chick I swatted away was a McDonalds All American, so I can tell my kids, and grand kids, that I played ball with some McDonalds All American and I swatted the **** out of them.
I remember when I used to play in middle school. I was on the JV team back then and I was playing with a girl who was twice my size and playing for the varsity. I was very sexist back in those days so I challenged her with full confidence. Well it hurts to just think about it (just thank GOD this was in mid school, not now). She made every shot and I missed almost all of mine.. oh and she got a couple of nice blocks on me here and there. I hate girls.
I've been on the other end of that once, it was pretty fun. I'm not particularly fast or quick, but I caught a guy off-guard on a one-on-one fastbreak. The guy tried to hold the ground around the 3-point line, so he was on his transition from backpadelling. I faked right, and crossed him over to the left. He fell down and the spectators went nuts. With all the excitement that's going on, I proceeded to blow the layup. I was ragged on pretty hard after that too.
There's nothing worse than getting owned by someone way younger... Happened to me before at this playground near my place (in da gettow). These kids were like 15-16! and they were like a bunch of Marbury's going and1.
man that is almost the same exact thing that happened to me, because the guy missed the shot too. Maybe it wasn't as good coz he missed it? lol I don't why people didn't get on me more about being crossed, maybe it's b/c i hit a couple shot after that and the game winner. Or maybe because i don't really know anyone there.
No, I mostly play agaisnt other guys. The best stories come from playing the chicks though. Another story I remember. In 8th grade, I had this guy posted up. He's a friend of mine, and he plays soccer. I think he was probably the best soccer player or top two soccer player in the school. So I had him posted up high on the left side of the court. I looked over my left shoulder to see if the paint area was clear. It was, so I made my move, and blew by him by spinning right. I blew by him so I kinda coasted near the end, and I went for the layup. I go up to lay it in, and he comes from out of no where to swat that shot. It wasnt that embarassing, but he was a soccer player man.
i miss layups all the time, especially on fast breaks, so i dont get too embarrssed. but this one time, i had a layup, and my knee buckled under me. i dropped like i was snipered at.
I think the worse was when some young kid (must have been 15 at the time) was thinking that he was all that and pullin all these fancy moves. I was like yea, right, won't happen to me. So I was D'ing him up (pretty tightly I might add), and he proceeded to cross me by putting the ball between my legs
kam is failing to tell yall about the time when he couldnt outrun a fat old guy on a fast break. sorry kam, just had to share that one.
When I was playing high school ball I played point guard and I thought I could never be ripped I'm 6'2 and this little guy like 5'3 ripped me and before he can get a lay up I fouled him trying to steal the ball back, I was sick. He even made one of those sounds you make when you do something quick, like shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiii.
