Rules include no jumping, no running.
If your ankles or upper arms show skin - tech foul!

Now thats my kinda ball...

I have to admit I was hoping one of them was going to break out with a 360 windmill while they were shooting around in the background. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed that didn't happen.

Seriously though, good for them. Seems to be quite popular judging by the amount of people in the stands.

Where can I get a pair of those pants?

[Oskar]

Iverson also takes part.

Some of those grannies can shoot better than me. No surprise there.

I can finally get a vivid image of when people say that their grandmother plays better than I do.

[The Other Kevin]

I've seen this about 100 times, and it cracks me up every time.

Hey man, where have you been? Good to have you back.

Lethal pump fake right there.

It's hard to imagine that these people were once our age and actually played normal basketball...

[shadowgrin]

With that in mind, I expect some of you to post pics while playing geriatric basketball.
