I've never even seen basketball!!
Out of curiosity...
I play since i was 10 years old or something. Now I'm 23 so i spent a good share of my years playing.
Mostly with friends but I played for a local club for a few years. I was C or a PF at the time. (pissed me off because i was a decent 3pt shooter)
Currently my knee is banged up so i dont play-being careful.
But i think i am going to play my whole life as other sports dont interest me that much...
I've never even seen basketball!!
played football, not basketball :P

me
yes
past
I played in HS.
Thinking about getting into recreational league in a few weeks.
Played some in Middle School and High School.
Don't play too often, but wouldn't mind joining a men's group/league.
Anyways....
I play
Played a ton as a kid, and was pretty decent for my age at 12-13
I miss it terribly.
I've played since I was 8 years old until I was 22, for different clubs, high school and also my university. I'm a SF/undersized PF, kinda like Nocioni. Not the most talented but a bruiser, good defender and team player.
Nowadays I only play with my friends on weekends just for fun.
Played in middle school and high school, and I try to play at the Y and in rec leagues when I kid. I'm alright
in school... we were state champions... i was so bad I never left the bench during the whole tournament and the final was such a blowout that the coach let me in with a couple of minutes left... i missed my two free throws after that!
nowadays i play pick up games with colleagues from the office and i think i am a better player but my J still sucks... love to take pride on D like Bowen does... that's why they always invite me... i give them the opposite team perimeter players a hard time to score
I was kind of annoyed with all the practices when i was playing for a club but after i stopped (because of my knees& ty club) i missed it a lot. And still do...
Especially games, where things are at stakes. It is nice to play with friends but many arent serious enough for my taste. I dont like run n' gun.
I've played ever since I can remember. I LOVE it... If anyone on this forum wants to get schooled... HOLLA!
I played in a club a few years ago, now I play with friends on weekends. We play pretty serious too so it's fun enough. I'm a true C.
played. scratch that. call me "semi-retired" ala KVH. been months since i last played. also got both my ankles busted. thanks, basketball.
Played from Middle School through College, although only had about 2 full years in college because of 2 knee surgeries. Was defensive-minded 6th man for the most part in college. Most I ever scored was 22 in a game, and that was only because the other team ran a horrific full court press and the big guy they left defending the basket had no clue how to block a reverse left-handed layup. I think at least 3 or 4 of my buckets were goal-tending!
Played club ball for about 5-6 years after college, then the knees started to go bad again so I took some time off. Before I knew it, life and career got in the way and I have not played in a league for almost 10 years.
Coached my daughter for a few years now, which is about as close as I get to the court. Unlike me, she is a chucker. The shortest one on the team, but still a chucker. The bitter irony is of course that my 12-year old son is now over 6'1" and has no interest in playing basketball...
I try to play every chance I get, but kids and work seem to get in the way these days. However, I have found time to coach the my kids basketball teams over the past 4 years which allows me to at least be around the game.
I'm 23 going on 24 and I play in a league right now...

played in highschool, got hurt playing football...sports 'career' ...ovah !!
There used to be 10 or 20 of us that got together from spurstalk, to play. Myself included.
Well it was actually like ten ST'ers and thier friends.
I stoped going b.c of new work hours.. don't know if they still get together
I currently play in the NBA. I'm aw-ight. I have no left though.
My favorite sport from when I was young. Still play in church league and pick up games. Love to block shots, play defense, and try and dribble fancifully.
I'm in a league now. Oddly enough, my ball-handling abilities have improved to the point where I'm the de-facto point guard now, even though I move better without the ball and I would prefer to set screens for people than handle it.
I have a decent J, and I shut my man down on defense for the most part. I still need serious work on my court vision, though. =\
Been playing my whole life. 6-3 and 23yo so I have no reason not to. Problem is here in Arkansas we have no leagues other than church leagues. And I tried that, and they are scrubs full of middle aged men who suck.
So, I pretty much play at the park and the rec. Dunking is fun, black dudes be like WHOA MANNNNN
I played, I was terrible, I quited and started watching the NBA.
Love the sport, but don't have what it takes to even be mediocre. I played Rugby instead for many years and now I'm doing some boxing.
