I am okay at it almost beat a travel team member. Know how to do variety of tricks such as between the legs lay up, crossover, double between the legs, figure 8, behind the back and more. Position small forward

so I learned early on to never allow myself to get a score of 17.


The way I always played, 13 and 20 would set you back to 0 and 13, respectively, and not 17.

I'm pretty good at shooting in basketball, ok at dribbling but I'm pretty fast, except I'm WAY short... Ernie could probably block me every time unless I faked him out xD

My Free Throw are slightly at about 75%.


Wow that's good. Mine is around 60%. On a good day.

The way I always played, if you made a shot that gave you a total score of 19 or 20, you wouldn't be reset unless you missed a free-throw after that. Since there's no way to get a score of 17 and go straight to 21 without taking chances with free-throws, I always made sure never to get exactly 17.

except I'm WAY short... Ernie could probably block me every time unless I faked him out


I'm easy to fake out. My physical reflexes are great but my mental reaction time has slowed down over the years.

However, I can still easily block anyone under six feet tall without having to move very much.

You guys have some pretty high field goal percentages! Mine is probably around... 20 percent! =P

I'm not very good at basketball. It's fun to watch, but I prefer playing lower-energy sports like baseball or bowling.
I don't know if I've ever made a three-pointer in my life except maybe out of sheer luck.

A field goal is just a scored basket.


Thanks Ernie.

I didn't know that either until I looked it up.


Glad to see I didn't make myself look stupid.

Basketball is awesome. I play PG, and I love getting inside and laying it in off the backboard Russell Westbrook style. I am also pretty good at stealing the ball, but I need to work on my dribble moves, because they're pretty lame.

Basketball is okay, I am fairly good at it and is pretty fun.

I like to play, it's my favorite sport to play, but I'm not too good at it. I take good shots, but they don't go in that often. My defense is alright, but not great. It's a fun sport to play.

I play PG. I dribble between my legs and sort of do a behind the back move, but it isn't perfect. My best hot is the pull-up jumper.

i think basketball is ok, i rather play football, though. if i knew more about basketball i would probably like the team closest to philidelphia.

I prefer football for watching, as for playing. I am horrible, as I make probably 30-40 percent of my shots, and I have horrible stamina.
