Has soccer infected youth basketball?

Have to get the kid in red props. He sells it very well.

Don’t blame soccer. Blame LeBron, Brunson, SGA, et al

I blame Coach K.

The ref is worse. Staring right at it and gets it wrong.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Maybe it's just a problem for this kid?

Coaching youth basketball, that has never been a problem for me. The bigger problem is kids that watch only NBA basketball have no idea how to play real basketball.

Outcome of a shameless society.

I think there are just way too many cameras and mics on youth basketball players

You mean my kid’s friends yelling “Curry” while throwing up bricks in my driveway isn’t real basketball?

One kid even had the nerve to look at the Husky logo painted on my turnaround and say “UConn sucks”. Mrs @StllH8L8ner saw my beet red face and suggested I go inside while she lost her mind on the kid. He’s been a lot nicer since…

Edit: Kid had been disrespectful for a while prior so the pressure was mounting. We’re friends with the mom so it wasn’t some rando.

I know blind people that could have seen that.

Hysterical stuff and great choice to use that scene from Private Ryan. Love that scene.

Flopping is cheating

There is more honor in pickup games, and floppers get laughed off the court

I’m gonna guess that today’s kids aren’t watching 80s/90s nba highlights on YouTube lol
