Any of you guys play basketball?

You prefer 3 on 3 or 5 on 5? Running 5's is better when you need the cardio but I can work on post moves when i play 3v3

How often do try to get on the court?

Played my entire life. 5s is great when there is a good crowd. 3s is fun when there isn't. But I always prefer full court 5v5 ball.

Only play in the summer here in AK. Otherwise it's all hockey.

Running full is always better. Haven't played in a couple years. Shot around a few times but haven't played in a while.

I got a game coming up in 2 weeks with people from my work. I was looking like Kevin Durant last year as most people in the tax industry dont play basketball.

- I used to shoot mostly 3's and drive but as I stopped playing as much, my 3 has become inconsistent and now I just rebound and work the paint. Have a pretty deadly left handed jump hook that took years to develop lol

Can't play anymore cause of my ankle. When I was younger we used to runs 3's at least a couple days a week. We all smoked more than the recommended amount in college so running full court was not something we did. Plus I always enjoyed running a half court offense more than a fast break. I was never real fast but had a first step to get by most and always loved to pass and shot fade aways. I'm lengthy and could jump so unless you really bodied me I could shot over most people.

i hear ya man! Shooting 3s is not like riding a bike. If I take 4-5 months off from bball, when I get back I shoot 3s like Shaq.

Play in a couple city leagues/teams and try to go shoot with my boys a couple times a week. I'm 39 and it's great to still be able to hang with the younger guys. It's amazing how many people my age can barely get off the couch without saying ouch.

Not sure how much longer I will get to play, will quit when I'm not one of the better players on the team and they stop asking me to play.

Oh highly prefer 5 on 5
