you issue invites for your pickup game? That sounds elite. I've never gotten an invite to a pickup game.
My normal game is admittedly pretty slappy in the paint - if you bring it there, be ready to take a shot. Well anyway this new guy (who chews this gross fruity gum and wore an East Bay Apes shirt) got the ball and a guy who hadn't been guarding him comes at him hard and fouls him. Not a big deal, but East Bay Ape slams the ball and was like, "Every. Damn. Time you foul me." and kind of pouting. And the guy that fouled him is a really nice guy and was like "Jesus Christ I haven't even touched you all game and this is like my second time here". Was pretty LOL.
East Bay Ape guy about got into four separate fights today:
1) he thought the other team went out of bounds, yelled to stop, and the other team didn't hear him/stopped playing. I guess he didn't really get into a fight here, but he was waaaaay too pissed about the other team getting a layup.
2) Foul call in the post. gets super mega pissed and in some guys face over it. Older cool guy says "Just call the foul if he fouled you!" and we kept playing.
3) We had another semi hot-headed new guy come and of course during a foul call words are exchanged and new guy (a short kind of pudgy Indian who can play) says, "You better watch who you're talkin' too!" and East Bay Ape kind of walks towards him and we have to restrain him.
4) once again he's in the post (it's all he can do) and this other guy who has a lot of energy was guarding him and this time East Bay Ape actually shoved him and said, "I'm not backing down!" and we all kind of laughed. (He was on my team). Then we had our game's 6-2 250 pound fullback guard him and that was the end of that.
