How often do i play ball?
I used to play ball as soon as i got some free time b/ gettin older i had to make a livin and even if i might be more skilled than Adonal Foyle — who aint? — i really couldnt fool any teams in signin me to a fat contract!
I had to leave Europe couple months ago to get to the US and work as a teacher in some non-profit school in…Maine! Yeah right! Yeah right! So right know i try to play after/between classes i give! B/ i know that it’s gonna get really chilly outta here so i dont see myself playin that much ball b/w December & April. Anyway imma get busy helpin out people — kids, high schoolers, and adults — to learn/re-up their French during the winter, so that’s cool though. One’s has to give to the community. And even if i’m a A-DDIC-TED to ball, i’m a people person first!

Kariem C says:
I used to play everyday. Now I play when co-workers talk about how nice they are and how they will bust my ass on the blacktop. Once on the blacktop I quickly find out they were living vicariously through their boys.

How often do I ball?
I ball everyday before I box, from Monday to Saturday and rest my legs on Sundays. Basketball is by far the best exercise for me. Other than going to school, working, and other activities, I make it a priority to ball.

Jun says:
I play every day of the week. I’m a senior in high school doing everything I can to be ready for the season. People think I am too short to play varsity ball (5-8), but quickness is dangerous if used wisely –that’s how I like to think.

Albert C. says:
I play 2-3 times a week with a bunch of older people, but they’re some serious competition.
When you play people much older than you and you feel like you can outrun, outjump, and out-hustle them, the elbow becomes the equalizer. Suddenly they’re not so old…
Can’t live a week without ballin’!!!

Rick O. says:
I play 2 to 3 times a week.
I’ve followed Rasheed ever since High School. I grew up in PA and Simon Gratz played at my school in a Holiday Tournament and Rasheed dunked on everyone. Everyone knew back then that he was legit.

Abe A. says:
How often do I play ball? Good question. First of all, LOVE the game. Love it to death. Used to play a lot. Made the JV team and everything. But now? Hehe… well, let’s just say if you saw that Ben Stiller movie “Along Came Polly” and remember the hairy shirtless sweaty fat guy who rubbed all up in Stiller’s open-mouthed face during the game? Yeah that’s me now. And I play sticky D, son. It was like looking into a mirror… on tv. I get my game on once in a blue moon when cats are willing to be all up in my face and don’t mind my shirtless attitude, and ofcourse when my breath cooperates & catches up with me. But the mind is always willing!

I am a stay home dad because my wife works 12 hours graveyard shifts. And to be honest, she earns more than i did so we decided for me to stay home so i can take care of our four kids. But every Saturday night is my night for my favorite hobby, BASKETBALL. We have a group of 15 guys that meet every Saturday night at our specific basketball court here in Gilbert, AZ. We start playing around 6 pm. and finish at around 10 pm. because they turn off the light at exactly 10 pm., so basically i play basketball once every week for the past 5 years now.
