Anyone play bball with a chucker?

The OP is bitter, sans 1993 Victory Parade.

O & 41 will make you that way.

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.

soooo true!

The worst is when shirtless sweaty guy has a hairy back. Then it's beyond disgusting.

I'd rather put up with the chucker's bull than the self appointed player coach who is the worst player on the team, but doesn't mind telling you what you're doing wrong. that guy.

True that. When I get stuck guarding shirtless hairy back guy he can have any shot he wants any time he wants and I don't care if my team loses.

The worst ones are the "I can dunk better than you so shut up" guys,although they have no clue about basketball besides a FRIGGIN one-handed one-legged dunk...

[mavs>spurs2]

lol whenever i play with a chucker i just constantly tell him how bad he sucks and talk to him the whole game, then make sure not to get on his team ever again after that.

Don't forget Guy-Who-Would-Be-Better-Off-Playing-Tennis. You can spot these as the guys who are totally geared out with new sneaks, game jerseys, sleeves, wristbands and headbands, but bring zero game to the yard.

Sons I played with a chucker last night.. wich in turn caused me to be a chucker along with everyone else on the team just to keep the ball from him.

Not gonna lie, I've copied Timmy's swagger before.

Jogging back down the court with a unflappable mask for a face after hitting a turnaround 12 footer off the glass just bugs the out of certain people for some reason lol

i'll chuck if my teammates suck, maybe sneak in an occasional pass

There are also several pick up basketball things involving screens that I can't stand:

1) Smaller players who think that since they're smaller they're allowed to set ridiculously illegal screens on anyone bigger than they are. A lot of the times they like to sidestep with you as you try to get around their screen, or my favorite is when they grind their shoulder into your chest as you get around them.

2) This is usually the same guy is floor general or chucker since neither one ever tries on D, but I'm talking about the guy who never fights through screens and just yells "help" after he gets picked. Even if they're guarding someone who can't shoot for and they can simply go under the screen, that would be too much work, so they would rather yell help and then get mad after they switched onto the guy setting the screen and he scores.

3) The team that likes to set tons of off ball screens in a pick up game. This team usually has a decent ball handler, a good scorer and 3 guys who suck, so they try to be Kendrick Perkins and Baby Davis setting screens under the basket trying to free the one good scorer up.

I hate the players who will purposely elbow you in the face when they are posting up against you but when the same is done to them.

[fo'shizzle]

I've played with this player-coach type who took a long time stretching before the game and there's even one instance when one of our opponent went home because he got tired of waiting. This mother er will talk to each and everyone of us in the team talking strategies and , then he'll talk to the whole team before starting the game with all of us yelling at him to start the ing game. He'll even analyze your game and discuss your performance after. lol
But one thing I hated most about this mofo is that he'll always pick to play for the stronger team. No matter how lopsided it will be if he chose the other side, he will.

[in2deep]

what about the really old guy that will play rough with you, I'm talking about stopmin gon your feet, kicking you, elbowing you and scratching you but when you try to play a litle tough D on him will give you a look like "is this how you would treat your grandpa???"

LOL, I usually don't fight through screens, but it also usually doesn't end with a basket. If you switch well enough there shouldn't be a problem.

yup i played with an old guy like this once, resembled bill russell and thought he was a BEAST in the paint, throwing elbows and shoulders to get his shot off, then complaining that you fouled him every time after he obviously initiated contact

Disagree with you here. As long as they've got some semblance of game to go with it I respect old guy who isn't afraid to mix it up. Granted there's a line between physical and dirty, but as long as he's not going high with the elbows or kicking me in the nads I don't mind the physicality. I'd much rather play on a team with a bunch of old guys who know how to play than I would with the kids thinking they're on the And1 tour.

Granted I say this as someone who's in his late 30s, so perhaps my tolerance of "old guy" stems from the fact that I'm rapidly becoming him, if not already there..................

As for sweaty no shirt guy, while disgusting, it doesn't take the joy out of the game for me as much as a chucker. About two weeks ago we were playing 4 on 4 with one sub each team, I was unfortuntelly on the team with the chucker. Anyway after a while I had enough of running up and down the floor while mostly one guy was shooting (and missing...) so I subbed myself out and didn't go back in. Preffered to watch the chicks play voleyball.

God damn, yes. Nothing is more satisfying than literally running through one of those gots.

I also hate the occasional "pick-but-never-rolls" guy on your team. He sets one ty pick then goes on vacation until the possession is over.

[TheRealCB]

Cant blame you about that last part
