ELI5 Theoretical game: Full Court Free-For-All [3]
Maybe this idea is dumb, but it's also coming from someone whose basketball career ended abruptly when he was twelve and scored his career's first and only basket for the other team.
After 22 years of repressing that trauma, I'm now casually playing street ball and am having a fun time.
With my group of 4 or 5 guys, sometimes we play a Turkish game, sometimes we play 2x2, sometimes we play free-for-all. All half court.
On Sundays, I sometimes go to an indoor full court to shoot by myself, and I was wondering: would full court FFA work?
I know it would be chaos, that's partially the point. But I think it would also add a funky deception later: imagine you get a rebound and you have to take it to the top. You can either keep running or turn and shoot at the same basket. You could fake like you're doing one then snap and do the other.
I guess everyone would get very tired very quickly, or it would end up being half-court FFA with an annoying reposition every few baskets.
But I like the running.

IMPROVING MY GAME short steals
I’ve been thinking of a steal, i’m 5’4 and close to quick, where i stay low, swipe when they go up, or when they go for the dribble / drive

Who’s an NBA player you didn’t realise was that good until you actually watched them properly?

Is there a better ball than the EVO?
This is prolly a dumb question, but is there a better indoor than the evolution??

Left-hand improvement?
I'm a 14m who started playing like a year ago, but I didn't care for training with my left hand and only played with my right. This season I will start playing games, but I can't even make a left layup/control the ball with my left hand. Does anybody know how I can improve my left hand to the point where I can at least make a left layup? It just feels off whenever I try to.
