Lol I once saw a girl who was 6ft5,Big, sexy and beautiful,she was very strong and aggressive Plus very fast, her problem then was controlling her speed.... she once hit the basketball rims poll with full speed and force it broke lol... everyone was always scared of blocking her when she was going for lay-ups......if you try am you fit brake bone lol

JeffreyJamez:


I play NBA 2k14 well and Fifa too lol

herald9:



Lolz... the only sport game I've here is FIFA and PES...
Though I'm tall,I do well at football than basketball...Maybe if I take up a tutorial, I might do well at BB too.

JeffreyJamez:


This is called Slam dunking [img]http://noontimesports.files./2010/02/natedunk.jpg[/img]

It's an aggresive way of putting the ball in the net at very close range....


Yes there are different court sizes.. The one for Amateurs,then Standard one...and then NBA standard.

AfricanApple:
that means holding the rim after shooting is part of dunking?

mehn guys are trying o, I can't even jump half way up

JeffreyJamez:

AfricanApple:
lmao, I thought that stuff can never break, jeez! she has weight o.
there was a not too serious match we went for 2days before Xmas, there was this tall and a fat girl among the opponents, she looked huge whenever this girl hit me I would feel it, I don't like going too close to her cos I don't wanna cry home to mami and that was my first match but I know such people can't scare me again as building up

JeffreyJamez:


Lol Which team are you training with?

AfricanApple:
FCT Rocks. though I'm not a full member yet

JeffreyJamez:


Still on trial?

JeffreyJamez:


Yup...lol....that's why I said players with great jump.

AfricanApple:
no ooo, to register is almost 50k, I don't want to just pay such amount of money whereby I won't be going for match. I want to pay when I can start getting the money back, besides school is also hindering me from participating fully

AfricanApple:
what about this backward shooting, what is it called?

JeffreyJamez:


If your Club is a good one,they can make provision for school..... the one my Dad used to coach were known as Dolphins, ever heard of them?

JeffreyJamez:


Backward shooting?!. Describe it.

AfricanApple:
its just like dunking but you are backing the rim and your hands shot to the back to shoot

AfricanApple:
its a good club but I don't think the coach has time for school tinz, though its not only one coach, I guess someone has to appeal for such
and again in my school they don't play basketball, everyone is running after football

JeffreyJamez:


Hmm OK....so what position do you play?

JeffreyJamez:


All those ones are just effizzy na lol

hifaif:
@AfricanApple, my crush of life, why the sudden interest in basketball? I was forced to play this game as a Human Kinetics student back in the institute. I must confess that I sucked at it. But I am good at badminton and taekwando (if you wanna learn those, I would gladly be there to help).

dre11:
Africanapple have open a thread for basketball practices

Hehehehehe


Go and watch NBA matches and u will learn more than enough.......
That's where I do learn the skill and art of basketball

AfricanApple:
hehehe, what do you suppose?

that's true but I need to learn the theories, seeing what Jeffrey has been explaining to me since, I can't learn those by watching alone

so you play basketball too? or you use to?

AfricanApple:
really? lolzzz
that means once I can dunk I will be good at that. do you know a way I can build my jump ability?

AfricanApple:
do you mean the number of Jersey?
you asked if I ever hears of Dolphins, no I haven't

AfricanApple:
lolzzzzz,
the interest is not just sudden, basketball has always been my favourite sport.
its good you realize that you are not good at it instead of forcing yourself.

badminton can be boring to me watching it talk more of playing it. never heard of taekwando, tell me about it
the two other sports I love so very much are volleyball and handball, I guess you will be wondering why I like all sports played with hands. lol

JeffreyJamez:


Build your stamina first......



I meant like,Guard or Forward........ does your team play in the national league?

hifaif:


Taekwando is a combat sport. It is a martial art. Right through college, I hated all ball sports except football. I was an excellent footballer. Skillful like Jay Jay. .

AfricanApple:
alright.

I think so but I can't say the history of their matches cos i'm still new but I've heard how their memebers are usually given scholarship abroad, so that means they must be playing national league

is there any sport you play now?

about the team I train with, its FCT Angels not fact rocks

AfricanApple:
every theoretical aspect of basketball

AfricanApple:
ahaha, for your mind

iamord:
do u want to go professional in it as a Degree too?
