The worst pick up players.

[Marino]

I was on RealGM and saw a thread about this over there so I figured it would be fun over here since I know we have a bunch of guys that enjoy playing pickup basketball.

So, what do you guys think are the worse pickup players to play with or against.

Here are a few of mine:

The, I only know one guy on the team so the offense runs through me and him group.

The, I'm 6'6" but I live out on the perimeter even though I'm taller than everyone.

The guy who is very physical on defense, but if you try to be physical with him when he is offense he wants to fight you.

The ball hog PG who tries to drive to the basket every time no matter how many people collapse to the paint on D. Why pass when I know I can make a layup over 4 people?

Also, forgot to add.

The guy that thinks he is an NBA ref and will call everything from 3 seconds to 5 second violations. GTFO man.

The guy who always asks for the ball no matter how covered he is and will shoot every time he gets it.

The guy who never shuts up throughout a game, and the first time you talk back to him he wants to fight.

For a minute I thought you got this of the ESPN NBA Podcast.

This isn't the worse but is the most recent, the screener. The guy that thinks he is a team player by setting screens constantly and everywhere. Like in the post. I really don't need you to bring more bodies into the block but he does so anyway.

Also the lets run 3 on 3 full court and I won't even cross the half court line.

I've seen those. I've been called for an offensive foul before. I'm like doesn't that usually require an outside party. lol People sometimes man.

The guy who whistles or says "woo" when he thinks he's open.

The guy who takes charges.

The guy who cherry picks.

The guy who wants everyone to clear out on one side of the court so he can take his man one-on-one.

The guy with the headband, arm sleeve, wristband, knee pads, and long socks.

The ones that i've experienced:

The guy who thinks an NBA player with the pro stlye shoes, socks, shooting sleeve, headband,etc

The complainer, talks all game and then trys to get in a fight with someone who would drop him in a second

Ballhog, passes up opportunities to hit wide open players but will drive it to the rim and shoot up a contested 3 then think he's all that when they actually go in.

I don't usually experience this much tho with my normal pick up team we usually somehow we fit nicely with out roles a Defensive minded PG(me), guy who can make almost any shot, great defensive wing player who can score when needed, and the big man who will and can actually play down low.
