The three most ridiculed people when playing pick-up ball are....

[doublejs07]

Asian dudes who can't escape being called Yao Ming, light-skinned black dudes who are either Carlos Boozer or Grant Hill, and the white dude who is ALWAYSa "shooter" aka JJ Redick......does this "typecasting" happen when you play ball? I always get a kick out of it....

 

[goukiteg]

I use to get a lot of Wang ZhiZhi when he first came out. Then it was Yao. And it doesn't help that I"m 6 feet tall.

I guess its better than getting called Bruce Lee on the courts.

 

[worldbeefreeg]

yea as a white boy it is always korver, nash, dirk. Really I could be dunking the ball and I would be getting Travis Diener. It doesn't bother me anymore Ijust laugh.

 

[mw2889]

People call me Gumby/Tayshaun because I am lanky as hell

 

[hypnosis45]

My boys call me rasheed only cause i can shoot with my left like Sheed does,and im only 6 '1'' but im 15 going on 16 still got plenty to grow.

 

[tubbbbbby]

playing post - yao ming
perimeter - yi
and when i was in pe some kid called me asian stojakovic cause i was draining 3's.

 

[acidicality]

Before Yao dudes were callin me "that chinese dude"

. i think i never got called yao because as i grew older i stopped playing post and focusedmore on perimeter.

 

[nickdiggler]

dudes at the park were callin this tall skinny white dude Biedrins today

 

[blazinjkid]

from Steve Kerr (which i get the most) to JJ Reddick to Chris Mullin, i've been called every single notable, white 3-point specialist from the last 20years.

 

[dottsballer5]

Every single one of my friends calls me black, just because I have insane hops

 

[yngseancombs12]

, light-skinned black dudes who are either Carlos Boozer or Grant Hill,

[high st]

"Swoopes"....if dudes playin like a #%!+@

 

[gregzzy23]

I usually get called Larry Bird. One of my dudes called me the 'white larry bird'.

yes, the WHITE LARRY BIRD. i bring that up every time i see him

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Peja, Reddick, Korver, etc... but then again, I bring it on myself since my jumpshot is $$$. Every other part of my game? Not so much

 

[mben32]

light-skinned black dudes who are Grant Hill
That's me.

 

[ohyeah10]

i get mike bibby, nash, manu, i drive to the lane like crazy and throw dimes.

 

[ximthatdudex]

haha i get called after my favorite player of all time

Baby Charles.

my game is a mix of him and lebron i'd say. Quick first step, relentless attack of the rim as hard and strong as i can. streaky perimeter jumper. hardworking at rebounding and boxing out.

keep in mind i'm a 5'6" stocky barkley type body too haha

 

[the north west]

even tho I am Asian I don't get any dumb names

probably cause I can actually play

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Tall African dude that is a Mutumbo hahahahah.......

 

[tylerdub]

I have a beard so i get Vlade Divac all the time. I dont flop though... well sometimes
