I'm 32, but played mostly during my high school days and college. Joined a couple local leagues but my team failed miserably. Joined three company basketball leagues mostly as a role player. The first two as a starting undersized PF/C; mostly on defense, rebounding and contesting/blocking shots. Part of 3 championships (2 from the first company that I worked for). =p
Nowadays, I just squeeze basketball into my tight sked. Missed those days.

I play... made a training camp for representative league last summer (a year out of knee surgery) and was the last cut.
Play 2 nights a week organized comp and generally play another with mates on an outdoor court or something.
I'm a undersized scoring point, but I play big and am known for my rebounding and over developed post game haha. Watching TD will do that I guess. Plus its amazing how effective an up and under is when everyone thinks they can block your shot.
Dad is a basketball coach in Texas for 30 years so I was born with a ball in hand. Played all through high school and college ball, and came oh so close to leading my Dad's HS team to state le in both my junior and senior seasons.
Played pickup in high-school. I thought I was pretty good, but my opponents, seeing that I was white, couldn't jump or shoot, or really play defense, begged to differ.
Played in Air Force intramurals -- some of those guys were really good.
Now, I try to play with some guys at the seminary when I'm on campus. My game consists mostly of working alone on my jumper.
Hey, middle aged men who suck used to be young guys who could play a little bit.
I've never played but I am very involved because of my son. He will be 14 this month, is 6'2" and plays for his middle school. He also plays on 2 different club teams, so he is always on 2 teams simultaneously. I EXIST for his games and we never have less than 3 per weekend.
I played in a christian league when i was younger, then i hit the bong and left that particular league behind. i play now with some co-workers. my first sport loves will always be Soccer and badminton though.
Been playin for about 15 years now..
@ 25, I still play 2-3 hours a day.
I live for the tttttttttt
I played in middle school, some high school and a TON of recreational. Won a few leagues and tournaments. Wish i had more time for it now.
True but they call basketball something it's not. They are used to the 70s when they could lower their shoulder and run over folks, and I've always been a hardass and always tripped them on purpose or say, did the Bowen move under their jumper as revenge and they didn't appreciate it or my run on sentence.Hey, middle aged men who suck used to be young guys who could play a little bit.
They (most of em) don't know fundamentals. Just run-push-shoot-repeat
i started playing when i was able to hold a ball... i was on some kid ymca league back when i was like 10, never played for school, and am not trying to say i'm awesome, but i can hang if need be either defensively or offensively. i am dying to join a league these days but sadly i don't know enough ballers in SA who are committed enough to hang for a few months and who aren't ball hogs and want to play team ball.
whenever we get a chance though a couple buddies and i try to play down the street at the neighborhood court once a week.
I played and pwned. March 5th 2008....those were the days...........
Infact I was playing against other gametes 19 years ago.
I played since I was 10 years old. Middle school, High school, did alright for being 6' 4" and rail thin 175 lbs. Now I am 29 and 215 out of shape been putting off my new year's resolution for about 2 months now. I love playing but teaching and coaching takes up a lot of time. But since I have been married and my wife is pregnant, I have been mostly playing with myself.
ay for a small club here in Buenos Aires. Amateur, of course.
We haven't done that in quite some time. I hope to start it up soon at some point. I miss playing ball badly.
Well, at least you're honest about your abilities.
I play at least twice a week
the court down the street from me is nice. it is of course on a tennis court but the hoop is awesome and there are lights that are on until 10pm. hit me up people cause i already have like 3-5 people who are down.
I can take you to the hoop any day, holmes.
you in SA? let's play!
What area do you live in?
NW side off huebner and 10.
Played for 17 years - in high school, uni, men's leagues, street ball - and would still play except my ankles are spaghetti...Won two championships though, which was nice.
It is definitely in my blood, and I still shoot around alone. Still got the game, in fact I think I'm at my peak, but I just can't afford another torn ankle ligament.
