    This is a rant thread targeted at all of the annoying types of guys you meeting playing pick-up basketball (Especially true at UH!)

    1. The overly aggressive guy
    2. The "I didn't foul you, bro" guy
    2.5. The constantly-calls-foul guy
    3. The jean-short, sandals-wearing guy
    4. The excessively sweaty guy
    5. The "Clear the lane, clear the lane" guy who then proceeds to miss the layup... guy
    6. The 80 year old man who gives advice to everyone... guy
    7. The this-is-my-sweet-spot-so-I-won't-move-from-here guy

    That's all I can think of at 3 in the morning. Feel free to add more if you feel my pain :(

    8. The guy who thinks he's Kobe Bryant
    9. The guy who does a lot of fancy/over dribbling in one spot while everyone waits for him to finish.

    10. The guy who's wearing from top to bottom jordan gear/nike gear but sucks

    11. The guy who's real cocky and just wants to start a fight any chance he gets for the smallest reason.

    12. The tall guy who never takes it down low and only wants to shoot threes.

    I freaking hate the always call foul guy. I used to play with a guy that would just drive in the middle and throw it hard off the backboard and say foul every damn time, even when he was untouched. I don't think I've ever called a foul on someone else in a pickup game. I'm like Adam Sandler in the Longest Yard.

    I fall into this category. However, I am not the excessively sweaty and hairy guy. Therefore I feel I am ok.

    16. The guy who used to be a star player, still thinks he is, but his skill set has declined to the point of his team sending him to Chicago to rehab.
