Pickup basketball and real basketball aren't the same thing. Let me tell you why.

A lot of people think that pickup basketball should be played the same as a regular game of basketball. But I'm here to tell you that that's a bunch of bullshit. From and ones to threes to dribble moves, there's too many crucial parts of the game that completely change in a pickup game. Hopefully after you guys watch this video, you'll be able to see what I mean and understand how the game should be played.

My favorite method is to verbally announce I'm imitating a NBA player as an excuse to get an extra shot.

[@AirUpBasketball]

That's a solid method right there

thanks man

[@kuroweiindiamaowei7068]

did anyone try this. if u did, tell me how the player reacted.

[@AirUpBasketball]

I did, he shot me

[@scoop4321]

i think if he checks the ball more than twice, the defender should assume it's a pass to him, then pivot, and drive to the hoop for a lay up. That's what I did!

[@hotpocketloser]

this is deadass comed good shit!!

[@quickchilldcuo9103]

[@chriszym2433]

Can you make a video about vertical jump technique?

[@AirUpBasketball]

I've been wanting to do that for a while, but I was thinking about waiting until I can actually dunk so I can have some credibility, but if it takes too long, I might just do it earlier

[@rastafari8410]
