This is where your own personal sports report on what happened with you in your personal world of sports.
I thought of this because I was playing basketball today and I was doing really really good. Possibly the best I've ever played. It was only pick up games but I played for 2 hours and must have shot about 80-85%, not shitting you. I'm talking three's, 12 footers, lay-ups, whatever. It was pretty intense.

i played ball today but there wasnt alot people up there i just played 21 with two other kids....of course i tore it up well i woulda tored it up in the 1st 2 games but i couldnt hit friggin free throw but the last 2 games i was unstoppable i was hittin them from 30+ FT and knockin down my free throws and if the ball wasnt covered in sweat i woulda had an awesome dunk but it was so i didnt
i played another pickup game and was unguardable as usual.......actually i had this one kid on my team that would drive into the lane jump and pass te ball theres nothin wrong with it that but he never knew were anyone was at before he drived to the line it was one of the weirdest thing i've ever seen on the court
You should try playing with Hawaiians (sorry I just stereotyped them). But I swear, they have the most unorthodox way of playing. They do weird little drives from the side, through the middle of the key, jump, look right at you for a pass, and then switch hands and do a hook. I guess there is a reason that nobody from Hawaii is in the NBA. Its fun to play AGAINST them but playing on their team can be frustrating.

I played about 4 hours of ball today. It was fun and exhausting but I did pretty well until the end when I was just dead. I still played well except I just couldn't finish on some of my moves.
However, I think I may have a minor sprain to my ankle. At least that what others think when they look at it because its been 2 weeks since the first time I snapped it and when I take my shoes off after playing, it swells like a balloon and is all purple and crap.

This thread's awesome! I joined a men's b-ball league last week, it's on Tuesday nights.
Last night I was guarding this skinny little guard who was like 5'7 but he was like tweeker fast. and he carried the ball like a damn jungle bunny. Well after he his his first prayer and started running his mouth i made it a personal goal to stop him from scoring. He had the first 2 points of the game, but only ended with 5. I only had 12 points, but i hit both 3 pointers i shot. Couple of nice passes on the break, but most of the time i ran the point and just made sure we kept moving around on offense. My buddy got pretty warm so we started running a 2 man game because my guy was like a midget. My friend's got a killer pull up jumper, so he just kept shooting over the short guy when they switched.
Fun game we won 71-58. We play two 20 minute halves...with a running clock during freethrows. Except in the last 2 minutes of the game...if they are within 15 points.
this thread has been up for at least a month...did you just notice it?....that sounds like a sweet league...i need to start to look for one....alot of these pickup games i've been in just arent games anymore i havent lossed in like 2 weeks but i was talkin with someone and he told me he's gonna start to bring up more people to play so i'm hoping they will be good so i can get some compition

Sean Rooks is in on one of the teams in the league i play in . Tuesday night is the A league and Thursday night is the B league. My friend I was talking about in my previous post works for the gym that hosts the leagues so i get to play for free...just like him.
Organized leagues are a lot of fun. Atleast people play defense and fouls get called. I never like calling it when i get fouled. I always feel like a pussy if i'm like "that's a foul!"
shit thats funny i know exactly what your talkin about i never call fouls in pickup games...the wost are the players when you play perfect defense and they dont score coz of it and they say its a foul just to get the ball back...i go out of my way to make those type of players look like asses

It's always the guys with the big mouths that will score some points, then get shut down by good D and call a foul. Usually they force some god awful ugly crap at the basket...it's just sad.
i went out and played some soccer today with the high school kids, and realized i am way out of shape. I scored a couple of goals, played some cool defense, and pulled probably one of the best moves i've ever done. overall it was good--but damn, i'm out of shape
man i havent played soccer since i was like 12..i played some 21 today with some buddies and lost but thats only coz the two other kids i was playing with made sure i lost they were setting screens on me and trying to bouble team it was pretty funny..i still almost beat em i was off from the outside today thats what killed me but more importantly i came up with a new line for trash talkin....."you got served!"
There's no good leagues in my area to play in. Once high school ball is over, the next league is for all ages but its all the 40 year old school teachers that are in the league so thats no fun. Luckily there is a gym about 250 meters away from my house. I just play pick up games there and we call fouls but its usually the guy commiting it that calls it so its got to be pretty obvious.
I haven't played soccer in a long time either but I wish I played in high school. I should have at least because the few times that I've dicked around with the soccer players, I faired pretty well.
