I 13yr female is a bout 5 foot six inches and I have a basketball game in the next few days. It’s for school and my team is never able to train beacuase it’s always raining. Anyway we had a mini game with another team from our school yesterday (Against boys) and we tied. Most of the girls in the team ( A total of eight) don’t know how to play.

Played a couple games today and one guy was from VA and said he never heard the rules before. How I grew up playing: First shot to start the game is bust which is 3 points if you make it.

We used to play tips as kids that if you got tipped you go down to 0 but haven’t done that since a preteen submitted b ..read more

I completed setting up a Spalding 54" hybrid portable system. It looks great and sturdy. No complaints...except that every time that ball hits the rim it makes a few annoyingly loud clanking and rattling noises. Is this normal for breakaway rims?

I've been struggling to find a pair of shoes for hoop that doesn't allow my heel to slide up and down when I push off the toe. Done a lot of playing in old low hyperdunks, loved those but they are pretty hard to find. Any suggestions out there would be appreciated. submitted by /u/JetsgonnaJet [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm a knock down shooter but it normally takes around 30 minutes to actually get warmed up and get a feel for my shot which is way to long for the time i wanna spend warming up and by then my knees are starting to hurt and I start getting tired is there any way for me to warm up and get my shot right faster? submitted by /u/EpiclySu_Tart [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Thanasis Antetokounmpo (Yes, Giannis' Brother) with his current skillset would destroy Larry bird in a 1v1, with Bird's skillset in the 80's. submitted by /u/Salty-Mirror9498 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
