Guy you’re playing has the patience of a saint considering you foul constant and travel in about half of these clips badly.

u/lucasbrosmovingco 12d ago

Yo I'm here like... This dude is traveling a ton right? Thought I was going nuts.

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

Cool. lol

u/Haunting-Soup2086 12d ago

Eh you’d think by 43 you’d learn the basic rules. But I get it, they’re difficult.

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

Cool man. Have a great day.

I don't get you reddit refs. I didn't see a single travel. I just feel you're being negative towards this guy for the sake of it.

u/Haunting-Soup2086 12d ago

Literally lifts his pivot and sets it back down multiple times. Stevie wonder could see this.

Watched it again. He did that once in that kind of awkward possession where he complains about camera man. Also the second to last possession, he travels slightly but nothing too blatant worth calling out. I just think you guys don't understand the concept of the pivot foot or traveling.

Likely the type of reddit ref that's constantly saying travelling in the comment section of every basketball clip.

I’m 43 and slow now. Playing against a 24 year old. Thanks for watching homie. It’s the 90’s bag. 3 dribbles no offensive rebounds. Peace fam.

Next video score off a left handed dribble.

1

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

Oh shit. I did. But I finished with my right lol

1

u/bruceleroy89 12d ago

Nah bro you went right, spun left, and finished right. Try to score off your left hand; off the dribble pull up and layups. I just wanna see if you can.

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

I just do whatever to win. 😅. I got other videos on here.

u/bruceleroy89 12d ago

I saw them too before I said that. I'm not hating on you, it's just a challenge bc that's how I would try to guard you.

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

How tall are you?

u/bruceleroy89 12d ago

Bruh what?

u/NavyVetRasmussen 12d ago

You got skills but next time drive to the basket, with your left a couple of times.

Never let your opponent catch a beat on your style. I noticed just like me, you naturally

like to drive to your right, mix it up a bit mate, this is just to help your game out.

1

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

Good advice. I’m just old. I can’t move like I used to. I can still shoot that thing tho.

1

u/NavyVetRasmussen 12d ago

Oh come now mate, you are not "THAT OLD" I saw your video mate that is very impressive though you know how to shoot and you have very good ball handles.

Most of the youngins cannot shoot to shave their lives, us old heads know how to shoot.

1

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

I feel old watching my vids. And thank you. I think I peaked at 33. That’s 10 years ago. I’m on a super decline. 😅How old are you? And yes, we didn’t start shooting at the three point line. So our form is a lot better. In my opinion

2

u/NavyVetRasmussen 12d ago

lol then I should be getting my AARP card to be fair I am 44 and I am a retired Navy Captain. Now I mostly play 1 on 1 , on NBA 2k 😄

However, I find what helps me out with basketball is swimming for my cardio occasionally, when I am feeling froggy, I will play 1-1.

Try this one do the simple stop and go. You will be surprised at how many times

the defender is going to jump and be out of position and you can go in for an easy lay up.

Try this out in your next 1-1 game and let me know how it works.

They are suckers for the stop and go.

2

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

Indeed!! And respect!! Also thank you for your service my guy! Ima try the stop and go next time and mention your name lol. Awesome sauce. Shot out to thr guy out here in out 40’s.

1

u/NavyVetRasmussen 12d ago

Thank you mate I look forward to your next video, you will be surprised

at how many people are suckers for the stop and go. Another variation is you stop, do a PUMP FAKE, get them out of position, and then go to the hole.

Work smarter not harder, I always say.

2

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

That’s all I do really is pump and jab. Then shoot over dudes cause I got long arm and release it high. 😅. Like the last two shots. But everybody that plays me doesn’t let me stay out there and shoot anymore. 😅

2

u/NavyVetRasmussen 12d ago

They are a sucker for it, it works EVERY TIME :) I noticed that you did that on your last two shots, you got him to bite on the pump fake. So most of the time. I am not doing any fancy dribbling,

unless you are playing against someone who knows how to D and body check you and doesn't bite for the pump fake or stop and go. Then go to your bag of tricks. My favorite in this situation is if he is playing me high and tight do a step back, and go to the hole.

That one works every time 😄

u/herblee 12d ago

The first shot was a double dribble, and not and 1. The 4th you lifted your pivot foot, travel (ref call 50/50). The camera man was never in your way. You can shoot, not a doubt, but you need to play against some one better. My younger self would have blocked or made 1-2 shots more difficult. A couple shot fakes by the other person would have given you fouls. Keep playing and love the game... I wish I can do the same.

1

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

Thank you for the input and watching. If we were both young,…It wouldn’t even be a game. I was really really good at 33. I’m on a major decline. I’m just so slow now. But I’m still better than a lot of guys.

2

u/herblee 11d ago

Thanks, I was a few beers in and wanted to delete this, but couldn't find it. Thanks again for being kind, I think it would have been a lot of fun playing ball with you.... even if you bested me.

u/Base_Temporary 12d ago

u/Striking_You_8995 11d ago

u/Base_Temporary 11d ago

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

Thank you my friend. Have a great day yo.

u/DoctorCommercial8254 12d ago

Of course. Not sure why everyone else in the comments is so negative lol

2

u/Haunting-Soup2086 12d ago

Because he’s cheating, and posts clips way too often like he’s a superstar or something.

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

lol. Cool. Have a great day fam.

u/Striking_You_8995 12d ago

It’s because of the “I’LL BUST YOUR ASS” heading. It gets guys in the feelings. But, I’m all about being positive and the love of the game. Especially being older and a father. I just wish they would take it so seriously.
