The worst is the guy that calls any contact at all as a foul. I remember I had a steal during the game and maybe 2 seconds after I poked the ball away. Guy calls foul! I said “hands part of the ball!”
He replied “my fist is part of my hand too!”
I really can’t play if people are that sensitive to any contact.

he fouled damn near every time but that's how 1s normally looked when i was growing up when both people were competitive (guaranteed if $$$ was on the line)
he should have shot jumpers if he didn't want any contact
was he not doing the same thing on the other end?

We played physical growing up, but the guy hooking his arm around him is too much. I would've eventually shoved him off of me or walked away.

Thats how it be when you play 1s for money. You’re going to have to hit that top of the key j or if you have size you can just back dudes down to under the basket and flip it up with English using the opposite hand as the shoulder you put into their chest. After you do it a few times they’re going to try to jump on your back though its literally impossible to block your shot from what Pitino calls “jail,” then when they start fouling or bumping yiu back hard you have counters like a spin off and they’ll lose their balance long enough for you to get a reverse layup up or just aggressively shoulder into chest knocks them on their heels some and you can get baby jump hooks up all day. Still probably going to end up fighting before someone just graciously accepts that L though

Everytime there would be that 1 guy who would try too hard on the court when girls would be watching.
Loved guarding them

she can hoop a lil bit, or it would seem at least better than the average la fitness pickup bruv…so it’s a lose-lose type situation…you’re not really getting points for locking her up & taking her too light she might go off, better to not engage too seriously

Just deny the ball. I'd rather her not even touch it.

You once said your NBA Comparison was Scoop Jardine but then I realized that he never made it to the NBA.

If you're slow and overweight denying the ball isn't an option. Look how far behind he was on that first shot
The level of stupidity it takes to suggest playing full court giving her more room to operate is impressive.
According to google she's 5'9 and played college basketball at some small school so the videos makes sense given the courts she decides to play at vs where some of the other social media hoopers go

Running around is a lot of it, as was just said^
I play with a guy that has been on fire for about a month now because most guys aren't trying to run around screens or literally chase a guy from one side of the court to the other. He can get off a shot in an instant. And if you get through and deny the 3, he'll go to the basket where he's decidedly less dangerous but he can still finish reliably enough that it's frustrating, especially because he's relatively short and not that athletic.
I try to keep a hand up and get a block. Even if you never get a block again, that hand up makes them think about it out of the corner of their eye. But then again I'm the weirdo that loves playing defense and has sneaky long arms.

maybe your la fitness/24/local gym is different but she looks to have nice strap for a set shot, her being able to shoot consistently alone would place her upper 50th percentile

Yeah denying the ball is a lot of work and most people aren’t going to play defense that hard.
That guy looked like he was cool with her taking open jump shots. I press in pickup.
With her jumpshot giving her open looks is just asking to get cooked up. It’s a set shot, easier to replicate not a lot of wasted movements. Once she gets a rhythm and is able to set her feet it’s money. But the release point is low if your tall enough and and active she won’t be able to get it off.
Not saying she isn’t good. She will fry up a lot of dudes just off their arrogance of “Let her shoot”

just watched the video...
how bro 5'7 200+ lbs looking weak af talking **** lol
against normal weekend warrior types, she's def above 50%, maybe even around 70-80% since they normally don't know how to use their size and aren't athletic at all
but against guys who normally hoop, she would be a liability on the court

of course as comp level rises she would be more of liability, but this is mostly offset by those guys being unlikely to really go at her 100% like that (plus any female that hoops in runs with guys prolly has some tricks to somewhat matchup) if we talking about hitting some random gym with the average recreational hooper she is more than valid enough to hold her own
