Why do you make such dopey threads? You never even converse with anyone.

I play off & on. One time, I bought a medicine ball because my three point shots were always falling short. Using it helped get my shots just over the rim. I got into a rhythm and our team in my workplace asked me if I wanted to join their midweek game.

So I joined the game and did fairly well. But after the game, I changed clothes are realized I forgot clean socks. I was going to my parents’ house right after because my sister got engaged and they were having a party of about 50 people.

I had to be on time, so I was in a bind. My teammate/co-worker said the zebra always has a few extra pairs of socks in his locker. I replied, “zebra?” To which he responded, “The referee—you know they’re called zebras because of their striped shirts.” I told him I knew the terminology, but it had just thrown me off.

Anyway, I ask zebra for some socks. He goes to his locker and was loaded. He even had a pair of those high quality Pastelli socks from Italy. I got a pair and was in plenty of time for a great party.

did anybody else play basketball?

I'm from the state where the sport was created, but I always had other athletic pursuits during the winter season.

Good topic. Love the game, love high school ball, small colleges but NCAA and pro ball, it is not my favorite anymore.

The NBA now features almost as much flopping as soccer.

I will sometime in March.

Most everybody played it. We all had to take gym class, mostly.

In Texas, Football is GOD. Basketball, less so.

Never really played it.

When I was in grade school (late 50's, early 60's) the basketball team and cheerleaders were the most popular kids in school. I signed up for BB, made the team, but was not great. In 8th grade, we had a kid who was 6'1", which was a giant at the time for grade school, and the coach devised a whole offensive system around him. But he quit the team after the first practice game (we got killed). So the coach plugged me in as a low-post center, at 5'9" - just average height. We won every game that year until eliminated in the city playoffs - by the same team that beat us at the start of the season - by one point.

That was the high point of my basketball life, although I played recreationally into my 20's.

we talk about maj and log cabin ... socks of Hondo 50

I have no idea who they are or do I care, this is a basketball thread, what you guys are talking about are off topic and irrelevant.

I like playing to keep in wind shape for baseball.

Also, I worked on our school church carnival one year. A carney was setting up the basketball hoop. It was a game where making 3 of 3 gets you a big stuffed animal.

The back of the pole had numbers for the pole's height. He adjusted it to 10 feet 3 inches.

I asked him why he did not make it an even 10 feet. He replied that his company had to make money. I said he could not do that.

I readjusted it to 10 feet. He got ticked and started working on the ferris wheel. lol

As I recall it was an indoor sport developed for male athletes to keep themselves in shape in the freezing winter months in Massachusetts.
