How to Play 21 (Basketball)

[@Minej_Mosuris]

0:52 up to this point, how the video says and how its played in my country is the same...but from there on, here is how its played in my country: There is no limit to how many free throws you can make, if you make 21 straight, then GG's😂, after a player misses the ball, the next player in line has to let the ball bounce off the ground before grabbing it, but it cannot bounce more than twice or else the player loses his turn and the next player after him goes to the free throw line...so, after the player grabs the ball on the rebound, he has to shoot it from where he grabbed it, there is also an added rule that you can grab the ball while attempting to jump outside the 3-point line, but regardless of where you shoot, a miss means the next player has to do the same,or if you make you go back to the free throw line like the video states...some rules are completely arbitrary, but one that most of my friends agree on is the '-1" rule, which basically means that if you shoot and completely miss the rim you get deducted 1 point, but thats about it for the rules, the last thing is that after a player reaches 21 points, then they have to make a 3 pointer to win the game Edit: there is also no defense or anything like that, its more of a shoot-around session type of thing yk?

We added a rule that if you put back someone's rebound while in the air they went back to zero.

[@nerrdinho]

We did this too, way back in the day lol

[@FinestFlowers]

Called it tips.

[@TheGuysFly]

We play the same way

[@AztecDread]

That's 21 "Taps"

[@isaiahayers1550]

That was common for us, but it was only back to zero if you were under 11. Past 11 points, you would just go back to 11 again.

I always thought this would have made an AWESOME game for stars to compete in at NBA All-Star weekend. Imagine back when Kobe, TMac, Iverson, and other great scorers if they competed in a game of 21 on that stage? I bet the competitiveness would have been off the charts.

What if Cube added this to Big 3

[@stevesibaja3123]

Same to 24

Every single person I have ever played 21 with has had a different set of rules. I figured I would look this up to see how the original rules work. I just got done playing with some people who said there’s no out of bounds in 21. So I guess that’s a thing for some people
