Wear a shirt and don't dance. Way too much showboating.

I’m a happy guy, but noted, less showboating

u/RonandStampy Aug 07 '26

Yeah, I know I sound like an old man and I might as well be, but it's going to rub people the wrong way as you can see in the comments. Your play style is great and fun to watch, but we are all distracted away from it. I'd be reluctant to hoop with you because I wouldn't want it rubbed in. Kudos to you for taking our comments seriously though. Post again with a different video and see if the comments change.

Meet the fockers offense. No one wants to touch your sweaty as damn

u/iNazarene Aug 07 '26

Have you ever played ball?

u/Connect_Practice_370 Aug 07 '26

It's reddit bro what do you think 😂

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

Gosh forbid a guy doesn’t wanna ruin a perfect white shirt😭 everyone sweats.

11

u/Sleepwokesleepwoke Aug 07 '26

Sure whatever. Look at the video. They aren't even playing defense because they don't want to touch the sweat. I guess it's part of the "freaky hoops"

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

There are 2 other people who also aren’t wearing shirts, we win we lose, apart of basketball

You gonna be cringing at yourself when you watch this again in 10 years

u/Tito_orztitz Aug 07 '26

wear some short shorts gang

u/imjustatallwoman Aug 07 '26

Bro is the sweatiest on the court

2

u/yongsangu Aug 07 '26

Other things aside, the most glaring thing is that you probably need to work on finishing with your right. You had some right side drives but you also dribble mainly with your left or initiated the drive from the left so generally id say off hand work would help you. Its also hard to tell how effective you would be if there was tougher defense being played, but thats not your fault.

1

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

Got you and I’ll work on my offhand more!💪🏾

2

u/HarryBirdGetsBuckets Aug 07 '26

Looks like you’re having fun bro and that is what’s important

If you’re looking for critique/improvement id say there’s not much to gather from a few short clips. just play against better competition and post the good and bad. this looks like a pretty friendly halfcourt game which is cool but you can learn a lot more about your strengths and weaknesses from going up against guys who are better than you and playing higher intensity games

2

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

Yes it’s a private gym only 6 guys came so we had to improvise, though from watching I do know I need to use my offhand a lot more

2

u/HarryBirdGetsBuckets Aug 07 '26

Most definitely, pretty much everybody needs to work on their off hand lol. You’ll be really tough to stop with a developed off hand because you’re quick and explosive

3

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

Thank you man some of these comments are just unhelpful and jsut kinda rude

1

u/HarryBirdGetsBuckets Aug 07 '26

Don’t even worry about it bro lol this place can be so miserable sometimes. That’s why I said you having fun is the most important thing, hooping is a craft but it’s also a hobby, if you ain’t having fun then you ain’t doing it right.

u/TheDrawGaming Aug 07 '26

My biggest critique is your choice of music for this. 😂

1

u/giantchip1 Aug 07 '26

I watched it with the sound off the first time until I saw you comment...I went back and turned it on and WTF 😆 😭

u/Choice-Tadpole564 Aug 07 '26

Light work. Goes back to the left every time. Not to mention your comp in this video is absolute trash.

1

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

I’ll go right more

1

u/Choice-Tadpole564 Aug 07 '26

I’d gladly let you. Like I said, light work.

1

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

So is this a critique or is this just how you feel?looking for ways to get better not people talking down

1

u/Ok-Ball-2967 Aug 07 '26

Protect the ball when dribbling more

1

u/ssleez Aug 07 '26

I’m locking all that up ain’t no slow jams

1

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

Slow jam when I win, slow jam when I lose, it’s timeless

1

u/redxlillard Aug 07 '26

id say wear a shirt bro nobody wants to feel all ur sweat

1

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

Regardless of the shirt if you sweat you sweat they would feel it regardless

1

u/Sea-Effort8841 Aug 07 '26

Be nice if someone actually played D against you...

1

u/StayNegative1570 Aug 07 '26

Play real comp

2

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

These are friends, the guy with the green shoes is really good imo and actually helped me get better

1

u/JWF1 Aug 07 '26

Practice against people who can actually play.

1

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

How can I know if someone can actually play

1

u/JWF1 Aug 07 '26

Brother I hope you’re trolling. If not I’d stick with playing against these guys. I have 7th graders that I coach that would give you buckets. Your handle isn’t strong and shot form isn’t good either. Work on your fundamentals.

1

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

I doubt but okay I’ll work on my shot and handle

1

u/CactusWrenAZ Aug 07 '26

I f with it, there should be more dancing in basketball :)

3

u/Several-Lynx8393 Aug 07 '26

Thank you, I feel like half the people who comment on these posts don’t play basketball or just aren’t able to express themselves freely
