I’m getting frustrated and might knock someone out at basketball. I’m a 5’2 player but decent enough I’d say. Every Saturday morning I go with some friends to this gym to play. But I’ve been feeling targeted by other players there and I feel like it’s because I’m the smallest guy there even if I’m muscular. So it goes like this. I have not once seen anyone else pulled aside after a game and criticized except for me and it’s been a weekly thing. I’m actually one of the better players too but somehow get shit on whereas other guys don’t play defense. I always preach make the simple easy pass but instead these guys choose the harder pass and it ends up with the other team stealing the ball. I may get 1 or 2 turnovers a day meanwhile I see them get like 12 with their atrocious passing and decision making. Today I was looking for an open player but everyone was just standing being stagnant but peoples take away was that I’m dribbling too much. This guy told me “just pass it” which doesn’t make sense. Why would I just pass it if they aren’t working to get open? The ball will just get stolen. They just want the ball without putting the effort to get open. Today I blew up on a guy because I’m done taking their hypocritical criticisms. I hate that I did though cuz I never want to stoop to that level. But I have no one having my back. I feel I have to stand up for myself if I feel unfairly judged. Their opinion is I just don’t like criticism. But the truth is I always say “ my fault “ if I happen to make a bad play because hey no one is perfect. But I’m really getting tired of being targeted. Im not even the worst player (actually one of the better ones) and yet people have a critique of just me always rather than the guy who doesn’t run back on defense or forces bad shots or the guy who makes bad passes in traffic. I feel like I’m gonna knock someone out
Is this bullying or me being sensitive?
