Or thugball, as I like to call it. I hate this garbage. It’s so f*^king stupid and is not real basketball. Here’s how the game basically breaks down. No one is allowed to play defense at anytime, and your main goal is to humiliate your opponent by any means necessary. Showboating is a must and the crowd is required to go nuts after even the lamest of dunks with a chorus of OOOOOOH’s!
What kills me the most about this crap is that they actually play real games! What the point of keeping score is I don’t know. They show this crap on ESPN with the thug players talking about what they need to do to win the game. How about playing a shred of defense you f*^king tard! Instead of standing around looking like a crack dealer maybe you could stand in the lane and make someone actually work for a basket. But that’s not what this is about is it. We gots to keep it gangsta right? F— that defense sh*t. We came to see the alley oops. What a waste of time.
And 1 is part of the reason basketball is going down the toilet in America. Kids don’t want to learn how to play the game on both sides of the ball or practice fundamentals. They want to jump high and pull off spectacular dunks so everyone will look at them. This is why we will continue to be embarrassed in international competitions like the Olympics. They know how to play in Europe. The days of the original Dream Team are long gone.

Yeah, but did you see Dave Chappelle’s parody of it? It’s hilarious.

You mean the one where he’s playing the video game against the sick kid?

man they do play defense haven’t watched it when ever someone tries to take a ten foot jumper the one of them sees it and doesn’t understant why the ball decided to leave someones hand so he must punish it by smacking it as hard as he can out of bounds

The one where he plays Reggie “Gutterballs” Bryant and dribbles the bowling ball around, and then puts it in his shirt like he’s pregnant (who hasn’t done that). I’vee been trying to find video of it for the past couple days but havent found anything…….
