What age you fellas got involve with basketball?

[gospursgojas]

I started playing ball fairly old...the 3rd grade. I've never played organized, when I was young money was tight, and I was too much into football (I now regret) in high school

This is the bball court i was talkin about, atm its freakin autumn or winter down in australia, i try and get a photo of the courts at nite with the lightz turn on. Bodgy thing about the courts is that if theres no one playin on the courts they wont turn on the lights .

This bball court, has alot of lines on it, you can play soccer on it, volleyball on it, and tennis on it if you got the equipment...like aka tennis net and volleyball net.

In the bottom right hand corner behind that tree, is a soccer pitch and cricket pitch, to the left of the pic the area that is being land scrapping use to be a cricket pitch also, dunno wtf they are doin now cose there is a project goin on with that area, dunno what they goin to build though.

As long as I can remember; my dad was a basketball player at SWT during the mid sixties and coached up until a few years ago. I grew up in gyms. My babysitters were basketball players.
My father was the basketball coach at Judson when the Spurs came to town. We went to as many games as we could; I've been a fan ever since.
I'm pushing 40 and I still play as much ball as I can talk my wife into.

Started playing at around 6, one of my friends who was a bit older started up and I went along for the ride. I'm short as it is but while I was a year yonger than everyone I was absolutely tiny.

I watch whatever is available in regards to bball, back in the 90s when basketball was at itas peak in Australia I would watch on the TV and go to the games with the family occasionly now that its all gone down hill and theres next to no coverage I have to rely on less official methods

When I was 8. Played in a little league (think it was CYO). In any event, we won the le game 6-4 with me chipping in a bucket as well as a couple of tie-ups (thank God for the possession arrow, my white ass couldn't get off the floor to save my life). I was the team's Rodman, beating up mother ers and giving the rock up to my teammates.

I watched basketball when I was in 1st didn't really start playing untill I was 13/14.

I remember 0-0 games back in "miniball". Neither team could score we would just run up and down the court in a pack squabbling over the ball.

my father played with the University team when he was in college-point guard position. I have 3 brothers who played as well in their college teams. All of them had MVP trophies on their own. I got interested because we support every team they played-college and national teams and we watch the games wherever they went. When I was 7 yrs old I started to know the sport well because it's mostly the topic during dinners, siesta time, while watching television and often when we have some visitors around the house. I read some magazines, too, DVDs and all that stuff.

About the NBA, i started to read the NBA sportsnews when Michael Jordan became famous. He's one of my All-time favorites aside DRob. Then, Tim Duncan got drafted by the Spurs, just in time when MJ announced his retirement. And the rest is history....

I didnt start playing until Australian Year 7, which is 11/12 years old - so fairly late... played organised ball until my final year of highschool, as well as street ball against kids much older than me (and held my own, thankfully).

Was generally one of the taller kids in my earlier years, playing center (i grew early, then stopped) then as i grew older, i went down to shooting guard. Was good at shooting 2/3's, blocks, steals - sucked at rebounding, fts, and i didnt demand the ball! Had a couple of memorable game saving blocks and some good 3pt outings (5/6 23pts total)

But, now... havent picked up a ball for 2 or 3 years...
