This is how we did it too.
We'd either play to 11 or 21 depending on the situation. Shoot free throws to determine teams.

Sometime we'd play to 11 if we were in a rush or more people came and we had enough for a full court run.
First 3 or 5 people to make a free throw would be on the same team.

Oh ok. Sounds like 21, actually we play 1s and 2s there too. pickup games (5 v 5). 1s and 2s. Game usually is to 12, first and last games are to 15

You'd be surprised. A lot of people were pretty good scorers. Game's went by fairly quickly too.

Where I played the norm was all 1s to 12, win by 2
dead at 15.
all 1s to 21 is wild.

We used to do it to 15, but games were ending way too quickly. A lot of people were really strong drivers or shooters.

21 or 25. Or you could be talking about king of the court.

1s and 2s to 16 if people have next.
If it’s a good game and no one has next is the only time we went to 21.

First new run on the court. Go to 15, 1s and 2s win by 2
every subsequent game, go to 13, 1s and 2s win by 2
every subsequent game, go to 13, 1s and 2s win by 2

They play 25 here in Dallas. It’s so confusing since I’ve played 21 everywhere else

This is probably more apt for the Washed Thread, but I don’t think I’d even want to be picked to run, I’d be just as content shooting off to the side or on the goal when everyone is on the other end. Or, just sitting on the bleachers laughing or thinking to myself who I could probably take and guard if I were playing. But as far as trying to play, I don’t think it’d work because in my mind I know what I would want to do, but the legs likely won’t cooperate. #WashedGang

Everybody called it 50 when I was growing up.

There's also 50 which I don't even remember how to play

50 is different from 21 though, at least here
