Played with Coleman today... Dude can straight up ball

Luckily IHO. is a better baller than a liar because I suck. He's a baller.  He moves so fast his own team gets sick and throws up on the court.

Oh man! He had green curry  ???
Ugh!

What?!? Playing ball with other TI members?

I have seen EVERY one of those stereotypes.

As an opposite to the "My Bad" guy, there is also the "Everyone Sucks But Me" guy (almost like the Player Coach).

There is also the "too young, too athletic to be playing pickup ball" guy... aka Homie.

And my favorite, the "irritated at getting fouled even though I play inside" guy.
 
I think what I dislike about pick-up ball most is when someone says that X person shouldn't be out here or I don't want to play with him because he's not good enough.

1. It's pickup ball... if you are that great, you wouldn't be here.

2. Just be happy we have enough guys to run full court  5 on 5.

3. Don't hate, everyone ages or gets injured, that could be you one day.

I guess that would be "The Bully" stereotype.
 
When is someone going to coordinate a get together?  I thought I heard that Tyler revamped his backyard  with TVs to accommodate all of us after some pickup games at his local court.

We just need to sign up based on our stereotype.  I'll be the My Bad guy.

Additional player-types not mentioned, but should have been:

1. The vortex: once the ball gets into his hands, it never leaves until he shoots it. Even if he's 1-vs-5 with open teammates under the hoop.

2. The no-shirt-wearing, extra-sweaty and/or hairy guy that insists on backing you down at the post position on every possession.
 
Hehe... I found an old one... I am number 5:

Maybe this is why Homie won't play with me anymore:

Heh... what is the opposite of that?

I'll pass the ball even if I'm wide open under the hoop.

Too Scared To Shoot Guy?

This just happened to me.  It was 3 on 1 in my team's favor.  The defense never came back so I was all alone under the hoop.  My team went for a three to catch up.  My teammate missed, I grabbed the rebound and looked for another teammate to pass to even though I was alone under the hoop, haha.
