Basketball Thread About Nothing

Yeaa I had coaches teach it / the over under

It’s wild to play post at any competitive level and not understand footwork lol
 
Footwork needs to be DRILLED into the heads of youth sports participants.

So much footwork from some of these HS players is flat out horrible.

I’m glad I grew up in a generation when we didnt feel the need to taunt for 1 minute after literally basic *** plays. Dudes make an open jumper and got all kind of hand signals and catch phrases and celebrations like they never been there before. Its bad man

Revisionist history for sure.

😂 ‘at the end of the day’😮‍💨 it’s a game, kids should have fun…the only thing that bothers me is when it’s at another players expense; the group head tap phenomenon is wild…but i don’t really know how pervasive that actually is, socials make everything look more prominent than in reality 🤷🏿‍♂️

Revisionist history for sure.

🤣🤣🤣 i don’t think it’s quite as bad as us old heads make it out to be, like folk just never was on a madness (especially those of us that saw the and1 mixtape era 😎😂😉) but it definitely seems like these kids are moving different these days 😮‍💨
 


I mean at my HS our SG would pull up from 25 feet and make it about 40% of the time and this is back in 2002-2005. It happened just rarer. He did have the green light from the coach that if no one stepped up he was letting it loose. He wasn’t a chucker just to Chuck tho like some of these videos you see today.
 
People in the comments saying the rim is lower. Watching it a couple times and watching the defender, that could be the case.

Or maybe the video is just warped and its regulation. I don't know anybody who would play 5v5 on a lowered rim in a gym with people watching from the sides and the ends.

Not at all. A much younger and lighter version if dunked on a whole ***** and just ran back and got on d, Shamgod’d dudes and made them fall before, we was just tryna hoop though not go viral for tik tok (which obviously wasnt out). Sometimes we’d go “duh nuh nuh, nuh nuh nut!, (the Sportscenter theme) but I dont ever think anyone danced as a taunt/celebration. Outside of dudes who argued too much or cheated, that was really the only super annoying nonsense we dealt with. And maybe “we got next” vs the down board and people finagling that.

But never having to stop the game so grown *** dudes can do choreographed celebrations they practice in the mirror at night after making basic also ran *** plays. Id say at least earn it if you’re going to taunt, but also act like you’ve been there before
