Dang i hate playing with chuckers, but i also consider myself one because i ususally get really hot and don't miss, but when i start taking bad shots, and they don't go in i become more passive.

But yeah last year i was hooping in the gym and we started a game 5 on 5 full court. Unfortunately to make it even we needed to pick up the chucker, even worse than that he named himself the PG so the whole game was nothing but him taking it to the basket(rolling off of rim), and missing3 pointers(over and over again.... UGH) Eventually after a while i was keeping the ball away from him to give the rest of the team opportunities even stealing the ball from him in occasions lol . After a few minutes of me doing that he wanted to quit so we let him go and we kept on playing 5 on 4. Luckily i got hot and made about 4 staright three's after which before the time ended i took the lost shot, and rolled//bounced right off the Rim after being down 17 we made a huge comeback after losing the chucker haha sucks we lost it was a great game though...

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Right, the whole team doesn't mind you leaving your guy open for a layup because you feel like pouting because somebody didn't pass you the ball.

Or is it because you're too pussy to yell "pass the ball around you lameass?" during the game?

You don't even play basketball, do you, former fatboy freshman?






Ha, how much did your weight balloon up a few years ago, hmm? Was it over 280 that I remember, fat kid?

I can go back and find the thread you laid your little heart out about some girlfriend who would never date you cuz you are a fat loser, even after you lost 80 pounds of whatever bull you were spewing.

You dumbass, lardass rich jew. How's freshman year coming? is Daddy and Mommy sending your paycheck on time?

I was fat. You still are fat. Me > your fatass.

Another major problem with chuckers is when chuckers actually make a couple of their first few shots. Then you're damn sure no one else is going to touch the ball the rest of the game. There are some chuckers who will tone it down if they miss their first few shots... well a few chuckers at least. Chuckers are extremely annoying but their exponentially worse when they're chucking and making shots.

And there are some players I hate worse than chuckers. I hate "I'm a point guard and I'll coach the team" guy at least as much. They insist that they'll bring up the ball and they'll run the team and they'll facilitate the offense every time down, regardless if they're actually good at dribbling and passing. Oh they're not chuckers because they'll willingly pass the ball to people... on their terms when they feel like they've effectively set the offense. But they are the point guard and coach and they want to call sets, directing people where to go and what to do... in a freaking pick-up game.

And I'd gladly play with a chucker over having to defend shirtless sweaty guy. That's beyond my least favorite guy on the court. Can't play real defense on him unless you want a sweaty shower. Inevitably, shirtless sweaty guy likes to back-down and use his body to get to the hoop. I squirm just thinking about having to guard that guy.

Lastly, I'd rather play with chucker over weight room, tough guy, who argues every single call, will set hard picks, and calls a foul every time he shoots. Imo, he's worse to play with. Slows the game down, and if you challenge him, you're getting into a fight.

But yeah, chuckers are definitely horrible.

I dont like chuckers if they wll shoot regardless of make or miss ...

But i dont mind volume shooters if they can hit at least 40% and they make 'em when it counts. I am a defensive minded pass first guy anyway ..,so for me a chucker, ball hog etc is no big deal to me as long as we win. If we LOSE then i care about chuckers or voulme shooters. I have no "scoring ego" I HATE TO FREAKING LOSE Corporate challenge intermurals video games etc ...i just want to win.

So tto apply this to the NBA I could play with Durant Lebron or Kobe as long as I get to play and Win ...in fact i enjoy blocking shots even more than scoring cuz i love to talk trash after especially if i get a taller guy (im only 6ft 1)

and i lov to strip the ANd1 wannabe hotsauce ballhandlers ...cant do that as well as I used to ...but when i do it's the best ...

[mavsfan1000]

Chuckers ing suck. I hate them. They think they're all badass. Don't respect players on their team. them.

[pauls931]

Damn, didn't think this thread would hang around. Karma got me and I ended up on the damn team with the Chucker again today! And he hit his first two shots resulting in more ensuing shots that did not go in.

This guy will launch the ball from 10+ft behind the 3. And play no defense, not one ing lick of D. I was running myself ragged trying to cover my guy and rotate to his guy who lit us up with midrange jumpers. Everyone was like 'who's covering that guy?'. Then I'd catch some crap when my guy would get an offensive rebound because I'm always out of position trying to guard 2 people. (we always play man) I think chucker was always hanging around the hoop waiting for a lucky rebound or gambling on a risky steal or double team, always leaving his man open.

Chucker would be like 'Kevin! Why you hittin' all those shots!'. While everyone else would be thinking 'Because any dumbass can hit a 5 - 10 ft shots unguarded...'

I can't believe we went 2 for 2 today, we should have been 0-4. Man, I think I'll fake an injury and go to the gym to work out if I end up on the same team as him again...

K now you need to calm down big guy

[JamStone]

Lol ok what about "take pick-up or rec ball way too seriously" guy?

[TheSullyMonster]

And nobody says anything?

[JoeTait75]

The worst is when you play with a chucker on his own court. Then he feels extra-en led to take every shot. We played with a guy like that. He had a full court in his backyard (rims on each end but smaller than regulation), we would play there and this guy would literally take two or three steps across half-court and let fly.

His dad played in the NBA in the '70s (Barry Clemens) and since this guy shared the same last name as an ex-NBA player who (allegedly) once beat Dr. J. in a game of HORSE, he really thought he was a badass. He was okay, but not good enough to be taking every shot.

[monosylab1k]

I don't usually take it too seriously, but I think I'm a bit of a pickup basketball snob. Some guys just need a round object and a hoop to be happy, but I've gotten to the point where if the conditions aren't perfect, I have a hard time enjoying it. I hate playing outdoors, I hate playing on double rims, I hate playing with ty outdoor basketballs. If friends of mine want to play outdoors, I either go very reluctantly or just skip it altogether. If it's not indoors on a regulation court/rim and a quality basketball, I will probably and whine about it constantly.

Not as bad as "let's stop the game for 10 minutes while we argue about fouls/the score" guy or guys. Black dudes seem especially prone to this. Someone says, "Hold up, hold up- what's the count?" and it turns into a debate session.

[coyotes_geek]

but you guys are forgetting an important stereotype, "black guy who doesn't want to get owned by a non black guy so he constantly bends the rules"

Yeah I've played with that guy before. Any time he gets his shot blocked by a white guy it's an automatic foul call no matter how clean the block was.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i remember during highschool year 7-10 which is age 13-16, i didnt bother trying out for the school bball team cause there was too many chuckers and ballhogs who wanted to be mike, for me all i wanted to do was camp down low and block shots and rebound since i could touch the rim....its even when you have 7-8 guys going to the same primary school who played together and only passed it to each other when tryin out for the highschool teams...fkn lame. For 3 years i made it to other sports teams besides bball, then till finally year 10 i decided to try out for the highschool bball team, made it without breaking a sweat...problem is i only played 3mins out of 4 games played, fkn lame...stupid ballhogs...

This right here. And I'm black, for what it's worth (actually, the tables are flipped at the Texas A&M Rec where I play--I know, I know, A&M's far and away a majority white school, but of the considerable amount of black dudes that come out, I rarely have trouble keeping score with them). We could pass legislation through Congress more efficiently than these dudes who hold a freaking conference to decide what the damn score is.

Just shut up and run.

It was a joke directed at pauls931 talking about "faking an injury" so he wouldn't have to play with chucker guy.

But I know what you're saying. I don't play outside at all. I don't play with ty basketballs. And if it's crap basketball, I'll leave. That's not what I was inferring though.

[ambchang]

There are all sorts of crazy people who plays ball, mostly because they don't know the rules, or they suck and had to resort to cheating to gain an advantage.

Guy 1: Chucker type, and got mad at his teammates for not getting the offensive rebounds after he continuously missed, even going so much as to saying that his teammates don't know how to play team ball and can't do the dirty work. Loved playing against this guy, almost a guaranteed win every time.

Guy 2: Kept plowing into people on offense, bloodied my mouth with an errant elbow and argued that I fouled his elbow with my mouth. I gave him the foul, and then proceeded to do exactly the same thing to him for the next couple of possessions (two on two game), elbowing him mercilessly, scores, spits blood on the ground until he finally conceeded that he actually fouled me a few possessions back.

Guy 3: Huge guy, didn't like the fact that my teammate dirty, so he picked me up mid-air while I was going for a layup and bodyslammed me. Nothing I could do because the guy got a good half a foot and about 70 lbs on me. Got ejected from the game though, I am not sure if he was disqualified from the tournament with that move.

[xellos88330]

I am a marathon man on the court. I always move. My jumper is decent so he has to follow me everywhere. Then when I can tell he is about to have a heart attack or pass out, I drive it.

I usually have to earn respect first though. I am short and don't look much like a basketball player at all. Makes the beginning of the game pretty easy until the defense figures out I can play a bit. Then comes the marathon.

My motto.... Stroke is so hot, even your lungs are on fiya!

[pauls931]

We'd all just say "Who's guy is that?" Seems like it would be obvious enough to chucker to realize we're annoyed by his total lack of D.

I probably take it too seriously, but I hate being on teams with guys who think they're good, but don't put in any effort on D, and don't share the ball, it's not fun for everyone else. We all suck so anyone getting a shot off before we turn it over is a victory and better than chucker launching from 10 ft behind the 3.

Another thing that annoys me is that chucker will criticize people that make bad plays, especially new persons. What a great way to make a good impression and friends...

The guy sort of reminds me of Jason Williams when he was on the Kings. Instant he went to Miami, Pat Riley put an end to that .

[TheSullyMonster]

That's mainly what I meant. Guys I play with might say 'Hey, isn't that your man? He's been open the past 3 possessions...' and if they don't take the hint, just don't play with them next game.

Ya, the way we do games is we split up teams based on what appears to be the best matchup so you never see someone refuse to play on a particular team, especially since we usually only have 10 - 12 people playing. We're mostly all coworkers and use the infinitehoops.com website to manage our games.

I never had that much of a problem with this particular chucker until he started criticizing new players recently. If you suck, you're not allowed to criticize new people who will most likely improve and become better than yourself.

[DaDakota]

I am a PG, when I play with a chucker, I freeze them out, and when they complain, I say, it is because you suck and are a chucker....if you pass, I will pass.

[pauls931]

Oh man two chuckers signed up today. I'm praying they both end up on the same team. Hilarity will ensue. I know one of them will do everything possible to make sure he ends up on the opposite team...
