I haven't played in a while and plan to pick it up tomorrow to see where I'm at. How about you guys?
 
When my schedule isn't super packed from work, I like to play at least 4 times a week

I'm working back from a meniscus tear so I haven't been able to play at much as Id like lately

i play like 2 times a week with my boys, im not that great

games be hilarious tho thats why i enjoy going so much
 
Man, I'm'a tell y'all, this hurts. :\

I used to play 2-3 times a week, 2-3 hrs at a time. But I tore everything in my right knee last September. No insurance, so yeah, got me hobbling around like a damn gimp.

And absolutely, the most painful part... is no basketball. :\ I'll get a game in once or twice a month, against some scrubs I'll see shooting around, but it ain't the same, brehs. Rebounding, 3s, and drive & dish used to be my skillset. Shot hasn't gone anywhere, but drive & dish ain't happening... and that was my favorite thing to do.

So yeah... used to be 2/3 times a week. Now 1/2 times a month.
 
not enough

Man, I used to get it in. Played in college ( DIII ) and I loved it. Now, it seems I'm stuck being too good to play pickup, and my schedule too strict to get the old crew together. Dunked for the first time in years last week

. Forgot what it felt like, could barely walk the next day at work.
 
3-4 times a week for 3-4 hours at a time. It's funny because I'm a bigger dude (no ayo) so I often get underestimated when playing with new people. I am not the best at defense (I figure it's more of a psychological thing anyway), let the dude throw up as many shots as he wants if he keeps missing, let him kill his own morale rather than guarding him giving him the impression he's THAT good that he has to be stopped or something. Idk it's just me. But on offense, my go-to shot is a fadeaway jumper, don't know why, but it works most of the time...I'll drive in from time to time and get the point...but there's just something about getting that mid-range shot off over an opponent and sinking it...I even have it down to my own celebration move...I have this killer mentality when we play...no fear.

The people I normally play with, it gets INTENSE, a couple of arguments/fights...but all in competition...everything is all good after the game...

Basketball is my vice/stress relief. I love the sport.

For a year like 4 to 5 times a week and then I ****** something up in my back. This was almost a year ago and constant back pain ever since. Doctors say what I got shouldnt be lasting this long smh. Anyways in down to like 1 or 2 times a month and gotta start up physical therapy again :smh

I miss it so much man
 
Damn I'm happy I didn't get injured or anything this morning. But, I did stretch like hell. My speed is way below what it use to be and I kept having to adjust my shot to the proper form. My dribbles aren't as crisp as they use to be but, I plan on practicing like crazy. Knew a few guys that actually got better in dribbles in their 20s so I'll use that as motivation.

Damn bro that hurts just reading it....I play constantly and if I couldn't idk what I would do :smh:
 
^^know how you feel , got a jacked up knee. ish is always cracking like loose pieces inside of it , or inflammed. , im flat footed as well.

used to be everyday except the weekends... now its 2 to 3 times a week now when me and the homies get together...

i pull for threes on a fast break sometimes and forget to pass at times . cant help it i love to shoot and its just pickup. it does get intense , we all cool and know each other but i get emotional af sometimes. too many fights playing ball.

Used to play 3-4 times a week in college. After I graduated, stopped completely for almost a year. Now I'm back to playing almost every day.
 
These damb HOA rules won't allow us to cement a hoop in the front of our homes. And if you do posses a roll out hoop, gotta roll it to the back after or a 150$fine..
We just tryna ball maaan...

Son that is way too much work to shoot some hoops
 
I try to play like 3-4x a week just to stay active.

I ****** up my achilles though, I should probably see a specialist about it. Idk what I did but it's been sore for the past like 6 months. Really messed up my explosiveness :smh:
 
Used to play EVERY single day! Even with work and school, still made time to hoop.

Nowadays, not so often. Maybe a few times a month... my athletism and shot is the same, but my handling and vision sucks. :lol:

Play two to the time a week. I wish more but things aren't the same during the summer for some reason. Everyone gone on vacations and stuff.
 
I play 2-3 times a week at my gym and like to play lockdown defense and when I do man those jimmies get rustled :lol:


NYC NTers need to have that summit at Laguardia gym again.
 
Sundays

More of a football guy tho

It's weird I'd rather watch basketball than football

But I've always been better at and enjoyed playing football more
