Trim is officially BITB at bullying people into donating to his BBBS fund.  A cool $22 (10% more than cheap ass J-Dub gave) is on its way.

I've been thinking this over and sys and CartierFor3 have swayed me.  Mainly CartierFor3.  I mean, if the nice guy really wante a "nice guy pass", i.e. an unfair advantage in the game, wouldn't he have felt that was worth more than $10? 

Press away.

if havs isn't even going to make an effort to donate his way back in, i could shift my donation from anti-havs to pro-pickupgame pressing.

This is all becoming really hard to keep track of.

It may seem like a tenuous stance I'm taking, but I've left my moral code wide open for the duration of this fundraiser.

This whole press or not press is stupid really.  Nobody in a pickup basketball game should be good enough at pressing to keep you from getting the ball up the floor multiple times.  I could see once or twice being caught off guard and turning it over.  But a non organized press should be broken pretty easily and result in an easy basket on the other end.  Pretty simple really.  1 good ball handler or just make good passes and the press is over.

ya i'm not referring to an organized press.  simply put- when i see some fat guy who is all of 5'8" trying to bring the ball up the court, my mouth waters.  i'm going to rip the ball from him and pound the rough ridin' dunk down as hard as i can.  i love dumbass pick up players like this man i describe.

  Then the team mates should say hey why don't you wait at the other end and let us handle this.  Or just start yelling at him to "Pass the Ball"

I'm assuming the entire team is fat and sloppy.

pick up games aren't the same as games with your buds.  i've never been in one that was uncompetitive to the point where someone would be like "wtf?" over full court d.  you either deal with the d or you deal with the fact that you suck.

slightly OT: Today in the locker room, a coworker who plays racquetball while I play bball took off his sock before showering and blew his nose into it. Kind of strange.
