What do you hate most while playing basketball?

1.) Refs who think they are the shit
2.) Ballhogs
3.) Big guys who CANNOT rebound. The ball always seems to hit their hand and go out of bounds.
4.) Fat point guards
5.) Missed freethrows.

big men who are soft/hangout on the perimeter is the biggest pet peeve of mine

friggin go on the block and take advantage of that size!

1: Playing with older guys in rec leagues (see: early-mid 30's) who, despite not knowing anything about basketball at all, think they're playing in the NBA and yell abuse at anyone who misses a shot. Drives me insane.

Well, almost everything that has been said and..
- players who don't even try, even if you suck monkey balls always give your best
- guys who sweat excessively, nasty ass picks to walk into
- teammates not calling picks
- my current team

I hate when I play horribly when I know I can do better... in that case, I get a little motivated, you could say intense, but motivated to say the least...

1. Useless players - we had this one guy on our team (although no one wanted him) that did nothing. His lone contribution was TO's. He couldn't shoot, never played D, couldn't pass and he tried to look like Eminem TOOL!!!

2. Motionless offense - if i'm playing PG on my team, no one moves. If i play SG i'm the only one running baseline coming off screens and such

3. Big men that foul - we had this one guy on our team and anything close to him he'd foul. I hate that. He had size to be a good shot blocker and rebounder but he fouled like Danny Fortson.

4. guys who never met a shot they didnt like - makes offense predictable....whatever happened to moving the ball. This is why i don't play the in & out game, because if it goes in, it aint coming out, it just goes up.

1. Ballhogs
2. Point Centers (we got a lot around here)
3. Team has no plays
4. People that don't make cuts to to get open yet they complain why you don't pass the ball to them.
5. Big Men who shoot 3's

1) Getting the elbow when backing down. Instead of using their forearm to hold you back, they just stick their elbow or tip of it in your back.
2) Untied shoelaces.
3) Cheerleaders. How are you supposed to concentrate? Which leads to my next number.
4) Getting smacked in the head with the ball, not once, not twice but a total of three times in one game.
5) When the opposing team starts tickling me. That's some form of cheating. It has to be.

1) Shit referees
2) Lame players, not dirty..
3) Sensitive pussies
4) Being cold

well i think what you forgot to mention being BENCHED!! :lol:

being benched when you know you can contribute to the team and your coach is a shit and your losing..

point guards besides AI who think they are AI.

"HEY! All that fancy dribbling isn't helping you!!!, You have to use it to fake out someone!!, Not show off!!"
---

point guards besides steve nash who think thier steve nash.

As they Sidearm the ball by pulling the ball back to one side and sling shot it forward... You eather gotta sting the F*** out ure hands or try and get infront of it to let it hit ure abs first.

"Hey!! A normal fast pass woulda done fine!! This isn't f***ing football!!!"
---

People that think just because youre a big man you shouldnt be shooting a 3 pointer.

They don't realise I'm actually not a big man at 6'4. It was a small f**king school. And they were short f***ers...

--

of course ballhoggs

refs that think someone shorter cant get an over the back call on a bigger guy

refs that don't know the diffrence between a charge and a defencive foul

to many things people do to list...

ah yes Matt, I HATE it when people don't move on offense and expect to score... and when people don't move the ball on offense too

Dudes that miss the shot after you made a very very nice pass.

i hate inbounding the pass right in front of a really vocal opposition bench

also, having shit players on your team who lose the game for you

I hate referees: They ALWAYS kick me off the game because of 2 Technical Fouls..
I also hate teammates that can't play and I really hate when a shitty team wins against my team (that is actually better)

Refs...never get along with any of them, no matter how nice they are.

Bitch players on the opposition team

Forgot to add, players who bitch about everything. Fouls, shots, passes...just STFU and play the game!

I'm the tallest on my team 90% of the time and all I do is jack up 3's awell, none of them have the guts to bitch about it to me. Not when I shoot 60% from there anyways.

our league has good refs so we don't bitch.

well i think what you forgot to mention being BENCHED

see i never had that problem.

Dudes that miss the shot after you made a very very nice pass.

yeah i hate setting up a big man with a nice pass inside and he fucks it up.

Even worse is this, i pass to this guy who's open under the hoop. So what does the bastard do. He puts the ball on the floor first and then goes up for a shot. Of course by then the D is on him and he shoots a retarded fadeaway.

when players just do not contest shots even when they are right next to the player, drives me insane

Mostly I'm frustrated by my teammates' game. I hate players that are unable to think while on court, players that overestimate their own powers.

I'm teamed up with a few guys like that. Basically a guy who has been a forward for as long as I know him and has no dribbling skills whatsoever decides to become a point guard and wants to bring the ball up the court all by himself. Although he gets about 5 minutes of play a game, those are the most frustrating minutes of the game.

The same guy takes the worst shot selections ever. He also decided to become a three point shooter. You can't do that when you shoot 10% beyond 15 feet.

So basically I hate it when I'm on court with a player who you can't pass to, because you know he would mess up.

I hate guys who don't play hard all the time (hey, shoot me, but isn't winning or just having fun while trying to win waht is all about?), who don't play D, who constantly shoot 3s when someone shuts them down, although they can't make them on a regular basis, I hate softies, guys who are bitching too much and pretending that there was a foul, although it was obviously a clean block. I hate guys who try to injury me just because I frustrate them, I hate guys who don't hustle and I hate guys who think I should be playing in the post more, just because I'm usually the tallest one on the team. Hey, I can outjump and outhustle them, but they're still gonna block out the hell out of me. THEY HAVE FORTY POUNDS ON ME, GODDAMNIT. I can try to defend them and rebound the ball, but I can't fucking score on them if they're twice the size of my skinny ass. Wouldn't it be more logical if I took them out on the perimeter. It would open the paint for others and if someone passed me the ball (by mistake, of course) I could use my quickness with attacking the rim or drive&dish.

Edit: during my gym classes in HS I played with one 6'3'' guy who had like 30 pounds on me and I could still move him around like a little girl. Everytime somebody touched him, he fell on the floor and started to cry and everytime we had to stop the game because of him. The ultimate flop machine. On one occasion he started to cry that I hurt his eye. Needlees to say, I gave him a stare and punched him right in that eye.

Although I don't support violence in sports, that was the best thing to do.

I was just playing ball in school today, there was a kid who just took a half court shoot every possesion, I yelled at him every position telling him not to take that shot, he took a lot of them, missed em all with airballs, damn it.

lol halfcourt? i could understand shooting a bunch of threes, but what the fuck halfcourt?

1. Players who get pissed off at other players and think they're better.
2. Sweaty gay players who like to rub their sweat against you and giggle
3. bad refs who call fouls when there was none and no fouls when you go up for a shot and they smack you right in the head.
4. REALLY Sweaty normal players who just sweat a shitload and you have to post up against them.
5. fat kids that play basketball and suck and take halfcourt shots.

I also hate if someone puts a finger up my ass . I WILL FUCKING KILL THE NEXT ONE WHO DOES THAT.

I also once played against a kid back when I was in the Under 17s who for some reason played a game covered in mud.

What?
