Oh, at my age, I'd lose. That said, I used to channel my inner Wendell Ladner and had a good chance at nailing from downtown.

Of course, I don't know if you are 6'2, but I have played 1 on 1 many times with younger, bigger guys. Quit playing pickup games, because some Korean guy 'head butted" me and broke my nose for making him look bad. After surgery, surgeon told me to not get my nose broken again, 'else we have to bone graft from your scull. Started playing in a "B" league and was a starting guard, as a 'rover' with 'box and 1 defense. Would put the ball on the floor, between your legs, to offensive player behind you.
Basketball is the best game in the world in my opinion.16 Reply- +1 y
@Msputiton I don't know of another game that requires so many things to be a good player. I was just an "average' player, but when playing in the 'B' league, I made up for my lack of two-handed skills, by 'hustle" and being all over the front court and in their face. Did not play HS ball, as our school was always a City Series and then REGIONAL finalist, so you see we had the top tier players in our area. "Play-BALL 'Mis' " I can bet you are a 'hard charger"

I'm fast. I got good cuts.
Defense is my strongest part.
I will smother you. I know how to read a play and sit back and get the steal.
Closing lanes to the basket.
I will take a hard charge to.
But offensively at the college level i lack majorly its different.
Hs i was a decent scorer. - +1 y
@Msputiton For me the game of basketball, was one of the best 'conditionings' sports a person can play, because of all the skills you must have, and the ability to run, sprint, jump, reach, et cetera. Like many "amateurs" my ball handling skills, moving with the dribble, were not what they should have been, but I did always work on that as I believe that is the 'weak' side of any 'amateur' person bringing the ball down, and I had to work on 'outlet' passing rather than, trying to dribble through a 'crowd" with defensive rebound in my hands. Love to talk about and watch good, young players as the game is, and always been an attraction for me.
While at DMV, I used to drive down to a 'court' right on the coast in Dana Point, right down from my office in San Clemente. Met a group of guys there one day that were, at the time, not working and we played at lunch time. GREAT WAY to spend lunch. One day, I forgot and left my ball on the court, AND THEY FOUND MY OFFICE AND RETURNED MY BALL TO ME! ATHLETES, RESPECT OTHER 'WOULD BE' ATHLETES IN MYEXPERENCE, THANK YOU FOR THE "MHO'
+1 yLmao i suck at basketball 😂 In elementary, we were in PE and it was a co-ed game. We were supposed to pass the ball back and forth down the line to eachother. I kindly threw it at my crush and he straight dunked me in the face with it. I was so embarassed 😂🙈 And then i played once with an ex and we were like the two kids at the beginning of Love & Basketball fighting because i actually made a shot before he did. Bball is not the sport for me. Batting in Baseball was my thing lol

Definitely not haha. My brother and boyfriend play basketball, they’re both 14 but like 6’5 and a lot bigger than me. They were playing around and my brother asked me to play with him (I think it’s called king of the court?) so I did. My brother went up to dunk and his arm hit me straight in the mouth and knocked 4 of my teeth out in a row. I was not happy and I refuse to play with him anymore.

So I guess we have to find some other game we can play. How about a bicycle race? Do you think you can beat a guy over twice your age?

With much pleasure ! Just tell me when and where... but you're in the US, and I'm stuck here in Belgium... Who knows if ever you travel to Europe.
+1 yNo, because the way basketball is played now is bullshit to me - it's "carry ball", not basketball anymore, which by the way is what 'NBA" stands for - Not Basketball Anymore". LOL It's been that way for years. I'll play you a game of GHOST though.

@NathanDavis The bird doesn't go as fast as in tennis. It is not so fast paced.
- +1 y
I see... but still
shorter distance though
perhaps I am under the impression of those highlight videos I've seen of certain players going at a rally of 50 or 70+ hits - +1 y
@NathanDavis The bird pretty mush slows down after you hit it because the rear acts like a parachute.
- +1 y
it certainly does... which makes me thinks of still requiring a very good impact, how hard you have to hit it
- +1 y
@NathanDavis Harder than swatting a fly, but less hard than smacking a cheating husband.
Absolutely not. It would not be fair. You’d automatically win.
