Good stuff guys....I just wanted to know what the rest of the world though. I Know growing up in Brooklyn calling an illegal screen would probably get you in a fight real fast.....especially if the ball hasn't been checked yet.......to me that is just so stupid.

Oh well I'm stuck with these guys till it gets warmer. I guess they will get me in shape.....I'm just not gonna let them get away with these country club calls....

I just hope I don't get myself kicked out of the gym man......I know myself. I totally lose it over a game of basketball.....I take it personal especially when guys are jawing at me when they are messing up also......that's another killer.

Basketball, like anything else, can be a very humbling sport. It just so happens that a lot of people who play it tend to have big egos. Hence, the people with these egos are going to point fingers, no matter how bad they make themselves look. It gets very frustrating at times, but truth is, you just have to continue to do your thing, and see how you can get better.

Here's a thing I HATE. I like to play around the perimeter and and post equally, and I am a big. But I HATE when people tell me to ONLY stay in the low post, and then they don't even give me the ball at all, even if I do give myself good position, which is most of the time.

I hate that also......I also hate when you are playing 5 on 5 full court and everyone is up top and no one in inside......that annoys me.....I'm always inside because no one wants to be there. I'm totally not a big. I'm more like a 3......

I also hate it when guys are telling me where to move on the court.

Also.....I've been told to stop dribbling and move tha ball in a 3 on 3 game. I'm like wtf? there are only 2 other options on the court so I'm not supposed to create my own shot from time to time? I wonder what they would do in a 2 on 2? or 1 on 1 for that matter........

Basketball is filled with ego's. I for one hate being told what to do. I hate being told to switch to guard another players man but have to fight through the pick if it's my own man.....

On illegal screens I just tell them to do it again. The next time they do it, I run straight through. I then tell them to do it again. Then they stop. Problem solved.
