Flopping in pick-up games.....WHY?

one of the funniest threads i've seen in this section 
laugh.gif
 
Nobody take charges in the games I played.. However a lot of individuals scream like gasol..pretending they got foul..
 
The only way to play a pickup game: five-on-five full court to 21, switching at 11, and win by two. Oh, and call your own fouls...*****.

I've never seen someone flop in a pickup game though, but that'd be hilarious. My biggest pet peeve on the court are the foos who think they got the Eurostep down, when in reality, they're racking up frequent flyer miles with all that traveling. As Bill Russell once said, "The game has always been, and always will be about buckets."
 
Yall dont call moving screens? Foh.
Pick up games are far from nba regulated games but they have to be somewhat civilized. ****** forget its basketball not football driving in like they're Adrian Peterson and as for moving picks son is following me around with a screen through the entire three point line like he's holding an umbrella for me.
We call that **** out , don't eem hesitate.
Just cause its street ball doesn't mean it doesn't have to follow some of the nba rules.
Let me rephrase it..if youre blatantly following me around screening it gets called. If you move on accident cause you didn't know any better ill let it slide.
Very rarely do ppl do moving picks though . 99 % of the time im playing with my friends and we get ultra competitive. :lol:

Not sure what type of sophisticated people you all play ball with but where I play this doesn't happen.
 
Old white dude at my gym calls over the back at least once a game
 
i used to play in a league at my local gym with kids in their 20s and this one dude in his early 40s...the older guy would try and call charges and one time even called a violation bc someone inbounded the ball with there foot over the baseline on a made basket...lets just say dude got ran out of the gym...:lol:
 
Floppin in pickup games ain't new. Come on, we all know that one cat we play with that thinks every game is the NBA finals. Dude who can't be touched drivin' the lane or the guy callin' travel every time he gets blown by. We all played with this cat. Where I play we just say we ain't respectin' that call and move on. Unless it is a true hack; playthrough...get to 11, and stay on the court

confuses the hell outta me.  I'm like son "you know real basketball....why are you doing this?"
 
When i was in NY i swear to God some guy called me for 3 seconds in the key.

This other time a dude that was on my team called 5 seconds back to the basket. I assumed it was an NY thing cuz nobody complained so I just left.

Man some dude called an illegal screen on my friend right after my team got the winning 3. Dude was way bigger than friend too, I was just like :smh:
I only calls fouls if I'm getting hacked to the point I cant even get a shot off when I'm attempting one, too skinny to be trying to muscle thru ppl like Bron lol
 
:lol: @ flopping

You'd be lucky to even get a traveling call out here....let alone a foul

Some dudes odd with the screens, dudes stay screening all the way to lane so that their man can get an open shot.

Never forget when dudes were calling moving screens and offensive foul, during 3v3 or 4v4 half court pick up games :lol:

Hate soft players, dudes even get upset if you box them out.

^ i just tell people to go F themselves if they call nonsense like that, or point to the squash courts if they dislike any sort of contact :lol:

It's always the ones who think they are NICE too that makes all the calls.
 
I very much dislike banging in the post with soft dudes, however flopping is foul, I'll raise you a few I had a few guys try to take charges onme in a pickup game, how lame is that? :x :smh:

I played with these young dudes 18-20 awhile back outdoors and they were calling timeouts, taking smoke breaks, and using subs. I was like....."What in the hell, things done changed!"

Young cats these days spend too much time indoors and online. I had infinite energy and no responsibilities when I was a young teen.

Subs? In a pickup game? What am I reading?
