Types of guys you will always find playing pick-up ball

I agree with the And-1 wannabe. They have all of the dribbling moves but have the worst shot ever, so I just give him his space until he is done and bricks.

I also hate it when its a close game and the guy that has the worst shot/hasn't made a thing wins the game on the opposing team and then brags about it.

Then there's the guy that doesn't cut his finger nails and hacks all game so you end up with scratches all over your arm.

 

Guy who has no idea how to use a screen.

Hey guy, I'm trying to get you a back-door layup, but you either stand there and just look at me, or fade weakly to the wing so you can jack up another three.

 

i love playing against trash talkers. I can usually get a good fake on them to embarrass them in front of everyone, then they shut up.

 

I dont think so

Smaller players who foul the living crap out of you because you're bigger so it's ok.

People who refuse to play help defense because they would rather give up an easy layup and lose the game then get "scored on".

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "no shot clock guy" although this is usually a team effort to just dribble and pass around for hours.

People who can't catch a chest pass.

The guy that keeps throwing lobs down court for easy buckets but always gets picked off.

The guy that can't make lay ups but sure likes doing reversals and double clutches.

 

OH MAN the guy whose glasses fall off every other play.

 

After reviewing the totality of posts in this thread, not one mention was made of the "intoxicated player". This is the man who arrives at the court, complete with a jumbo sized alcoholic beverage in tow, and breath that reeks of a rotting liver.

If his performance is efficient, he proceeds to take periodical sips from his bottle, all the while praising the performance enhancing effects of his tonic. If he is ineffective, he conveniently places all blame on his vice.

I recall once witnessing one of these men impressively convert roughly 75% of his field goal attempts, only to follow up the performance by vomiting all over himself.

If nothing else, this man can be counted on for comic relief.

I have never in all my years seen anyone/anything like that. You must be playing ball with a bunch of hood rats. Either that or I call shenanigans

 

That would be a "Drunken Master"..

 

When I played I was kind of that way. I tend to be pretty quiet on court and at 5'-7" fairly skinny Asian I wouldn't get a lot of passes if I wasn't playing with people I knew so I would make up for that by hustling a lot.

 

I have been witness to this class of player on more than one occasion. Granted, their frequency is uncommon, however sightings typically occur at public courts in an urban setting.

 

The guy who feels up on you all game, like when your posting up or bringing the ball up... because he is gay

 

I usually ball hog.. because I tend to think I'm extra bad ass (I played at the half court in the corner at UH rec against the guys in jeans and tucked in t-shirts). I often don't make the shots, but who cares, nobody watches us play.

-the uncoordinated white guy that only fouls but yet denies it simply because he doesnt know how to play ..
- Doesnt have to be a white guy but at least everyone i ran into that was this type was white

- the sweaty guy who doesnt wear a shirt

 

Then I don't understand why you would post her picture in this thread...

 

not sure if it has been mentioned

the teammate who has no idea of court spacing

someone posts up on the block and he'll stand right next to you

then you'll move to the other side where there is open space and he will follow you along.

 

SuperBeeKay has already mentioned that class of player.

 

i think i mentioned this in a similar thread. i've played with plenty of "gets mad because you missed a layup" guy. this is the guy who seldomly passes the ball and jacks up 3s every time down the court. then, when he actually does pass you're so surprised it's like, "oh crap, what the hell am i supposed to do now."
