No, the worst people are the ones who think they're Steph Curry and jack up a bunch of horrible three's 5 feet behind the line without moving the ball around. Then they think they're good once the 10th one of those goes in by some freak accident.

The three point line has killed the game of basketball if you're not in college or the NBA. Nobody attacks the basket, moves the ball, or moves without the ball in pickup games at the gym or in rec games. These people lack a fundamental understanding of what ACTUALLY makes the Warriors brand of basketball good.

Another type of people that bother me are the ones who think they're Allen Iverson. These are the people who do a bunch of pointless dribble moves and end up in the exact same place that they started.

Let's hope Lonzo Ball becomes a superstar and makes passing a desires trait :p

No, I am not Lebron James. That would make me a whiny, overrated, egotistical prick that has the phyisical ability of a super hero and the heart of a mouse. Also, I will blame someone other than myself if you don't care for this post.

Not a horror story but I do have a story that's kind of amusing (at least to me).

A bunch of us were playing basketball at a friend's house. One regular drives up with someone new. It's this guy who is a couple of years older than the rest of us and is kind of infamous for always wearing a full ensemble of (famous player) gear, even at school. The thing is, his older brother is a friend of very well-known NBA player and the younger brother always ends up with branded gear from him. That was his big bragging point and kind of his identity.

So we choose teams and, since I'm the best defender on my team, I get to cover Mr. NBA. He's acting all cocky and he has several inches on me so I'm kind of nervous.

The game starts and he squares up against me at the top of the key. Now, like I said, he has several inches on me but for some reason he brings the ball down really low, holding it with both hands, and swings it back and forth in front of him. I'm sure this looks really awesome and cool but it's also really dumb. I just reach out and poke it away.

This happens several times over the course of the game. He swings the ball low and I knock it away. He gets more and more annoyed and starts calling "foul". Eventually other people are like, "nah, that's not a foul," and they start doing it when they guard him, too.

The thing is, he was really pretty good in an all-around sense but the fact that he tried to showboat and base his game on something his favorite NBA player did was a glaring weakness. I don't think he ever came back.
