flopping

flopping is refered to as when a player is fouled and over reacts just so that they get their free throws. lebron James is basically the one who started this and brought it into the pros. a lot of pros do it and im not saying hes not good hes an amazing basketball player its just not fun to see him get thrown across the court by himself just cause some guy accidentally grazed his shoulder when he was going up for a lay up. it boring to watch a game that half the time people are taking lay ups. a foul here and there is ok but now its just over excessive. before when you took a shot or went up for a layup you knew you were gonna get hit and get hurt.thats the way that its meant to be played. not that when someone just grazes you with their hair that you gotta act like you just got shot. go cry in a corner if you cant take it. get ahold of yourselves and take it like a man an start to play some real ball.

what basketball was in the NBA and what it now is

The NBA used to be where a lot of good players would be on a team and thats what they would be known for. they would win as a team. there also wasn't flopping like lebron james does all the time. the game has changed from a team winning and working together to a one man show that keeps them going all the way to the finals. now its lebron james and the Heat and KD and the thunder. it used to just be teams. now basketball that is pro has become boring to watch 1v1 in every game. its just not fun to watch anymore. Now the only team that is pro that is still working as a team is the san an spyrs. everyone else just plays and depends on the "best" player on their teams. its sickening.

The rules of the game

In basketball there are many rules, there are fouls, travels, technical's  and much more. I will be giving you some tips and basics on how to correctly play.

1. Don't deliberately hit,push,punch,slap,or talk "crap" to any of the other players this will result in you being charged with a foul or being thrown from the game.
2. When you have the ball don't walk with it that would be a travel and the ball would be given to the other team.
3. When dribbling do not use both hands at once. also don't pick the ball up while you are dribbling and then start to dribble again.
4.when attempting to stop the ball in midair or in someones hand while they are shooting do not touch the other player while they are attempting to shoot. that will result in a foul and either a turnover or the other team will get two free throws.
5. Don't ever talk to the refs after they have spoken what they says goes.
6. refs are the people that look like they have prison clothes on from the 1900's they call fouls travels and so forth.
