    Who Here Actually Plays Basketball?

    Who here actually hoops?

    How much now and then?

    Did you play any organized basketball?

    Can you dunk?

    What type of player are you? Shooter? Post?

    If you shot 10 free throws, how many would you make?

    I played a lot through high school. Not much anymore, was decent enough to play select ball but not HS.

    Varsity all 4 yrs, walked on the practice team at Rutgers which is D1 by default even though terrible.

    Used to dunk but dunking is not significant. I've played with plenty of guys that can't dunk but would dominate a game

    Still play every week. Can't dunk anymore but can't still get rim easily. Free throws I'll make 8-9 out of 10 but that means nothing.

    Just played pickup basketball.

    I was known as a shutdown defender.

    No offensive skills except Steve Nash like passing.

    That means alot in league or organized play. Used to pkay differently depending on the format. Pickup games vs league or organized play.

    Look to draw fouls in one and look to make plays in pickup

    Play pickup at my gym a few times a week....pretty good competition, mostly 20-40 year olds, some played in high school, a few small college ballers

    I played baseball and football in high school but grew up playing pickup basketball my whole life, just never played in school

    I like to run the point...good handles, great vision and passer, can drive.....shot is hot and cold, solid defense. I'm more athlete than fundamentals for sure

    5'10 and white so cant dunk!

    Nah. Making an uncontested standstill 15 footer when you're not tired means nothing. If you play basketball you should be able to make that shot 7 of 10 times minimum.

    No foul shots in pickup ball anyway.

    I'm 6-1 and could dunk one hand starting freshman yr in high school, two hands by sophomore year. Never played real college ball just lots of pick up, intramural leagues, now I'm 50 pounds heavier and 15 yrs older so grabbing rim or dunking a tennis ball is a challenge. Having little kids now I can't say I've played any ball last 3 years. Probably have a heart attack running full court!
