Rose To See Specialist Monday(Update: MRI Reveals No Structural Damage)

By discovering a Jordanesque killer - 03.07.11 - SI Vault

1am games of Cutthroat with friends.


Rose never playing "pickup games"

:rolling:

do you know what a pickup game is?

"A killer was born in a game of cutthroat. Derrick Rose plays it on summer nights, often after 1 a.m., when he is too restless to sleep. "Let's go shoot," he tells his three roommates, who then know they will not be sleeping either. They pile into Rose's Ford pickup, take a 10-minute ride to the Bulls' practice facility and unlock the door to the court, where they remain until dawn.

The version of cutthroat Rose plays goes like this: Two players. Whoever has the ball starts at the top of the key, gets a maximum of three dribbles and must score to retain possession. First to 10 wins."

that is not a pickup game. 2 players that aren't even really playing basketball but rather just shooting until they miss? No more than 3 dribbles? wtf? Have you ever played a pick up game?

Pick-up game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

yup. 2 players is a quite a group for pickup games, they pick their own teams [that must have been hard for only 2 players to do]

Shit, even playing a game on one on one, actual basketball is more of a pickup game than the Rose was playing with his friends. Rose going against 1 person, where he's probably just shooting a bunch of jumpers since he can't take more than 3 dribbles [and starting at the top of the key] is not a pickup game. it's just a game.


Let me guess... for football, a pick up game would be getting 2 of your friends. 1 plays QB, 1 plays WR and the other one defends him. :lol:

I wasn't pointing any fingers, just speaking in general as Ive done in the past in the case of injures, which is like a pet peev of mine.

yeah, I remember the Cutler thing haha.

i got you though, You can just disregard my last post then.

Chicago Bulls Tom Thibodeau unsure Derrick Rose will play in All-Star Game - ESPN Chicago

 

[FirstTimer]

do you know what a pickup game is?

Yes.

Do you know what cutthroat is?

Have you ever played it?

It's basically a tougher version of 21.

Pick-up game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

LOL at you citing wiki-fucking-pedia you clown.


But let's take a look:

spontaneously started by a group of players

1am by four guys sounds pretty spontaneous and "groupish" to me.

Pick-up games usually lack officials and referees

Check.

makes them more disorganized and less structured than regular games

Check.

Without formal rules and regulations, pick-up games are often played with a looser set of rules which are sometimes established by the players themselves

Check.

Shit, even playing a game on one on one, actual basketball is more of a pickup game than the Rose was playing with his friends.

Wrong.

LOL at you just coming to this now and trying to make a point. Rose playing games of cutthroat at 1am are not only "pick up games"/games but they also spurned him on to start training more on perimeter shots.



Don't be mad just because you were proven wrong...again.

Let me guess... for football, a pick up game would be getting 2 of your friends. 1 plays QB, 1 plays WR and the other one defends him. :lol:

Yeah let's start comparing football, a game with normally 11 people on each side and the smallest leagues you generally find are 7 on 7 leagues to a game like basketball where a team only has five players on each side and 2 on 2 and 3 on 3 tournaments are rampant.

Apples and oranges ******.

You ever heard of someone playing a "game of one on one?" I sure has hell have.

 

[BNB]

hey dumbass, did you read THEIR version of the game, or were you unable to understand that either?

They could have gotten together 20 people... they still only had 2 out playing. 1 was playing defender while the other was shooting until he missed. Couldn't take more than 3 dribbble's starting from the top of the key. Rose could just be sitting there shooting jump shots, hit ten straight and win. what a fuckin "pickup game"

So when Rose is in the gym working with his trainer shooting jump shots and working on post moves while his trainer is acting as a defender, they're playing a pickup game,right? :lol:

Almost everybody you ask will give you the same definition of a pickup game that wiki gave you. You show up to a park or a gym, either with friends or you find people you don't know. You make teams [usually it's 3-3, 4-4 or 5-5] depending on how many people are there, and you either play full court or half court, depending on how many people you have. Then you play basketball. The kind where you can take more than 3 dribbles before you have to shoot... and the kind where you can pass the ball. and rebound other's misses. etc.


BRB. Gonna go shoot at the gym with someone plays D on me. Should be quite a pick-up game. :lmao:

 

[FirstTimer]

hey dumbass, did you read THEIR version of the game, or were you unable to understand that either?

Yeah I read their version.

It's a pretty common version.

.....................

They could have gotten together 20 people... they still only had 2 out playing. 1 was playing defender while the other was shooting until he missed.

You obviously didn't read if you think that's the game.

Please read again.

Thanks.

LOL at asking if I read it then not even describing it correctly.

So when Rose is in the gym working with his trainer shooting jump shots and working on post moves while his trainer is acting as a defender, they're playing a pickup game,right? :lol:

I doubt him and his trainer are keep score..............nor is his trainer scoring........

Apples meet oranges again dumbass.

Almost everybody you ask will give you the same definition of a pickup game that wiki gave you.

. You make teams [usually it's 3-3, 4-4 or 5-5] depending on how many people are there

Usually =/= has to be.

1 on 1 is a game.

Sorry to break this to you.

Then you play basketball.

Odd.

The kind where you can take more than 3 dribbles before you have to shoot

Please see your own wiki entry about looser rules and rules set by the players themselves.

Thanks.

and rebound other's misses. etc.

Obviously never played cutthroat.

LOL at you.



Please read about the game again.

"The version of cutthroat Rose plays goes like this: Two players. Whoever has the ball starts at the top of the key, gets a maximum of three dribbles and must score to retain possession."

yeah.. you're a fuckin moron, FT. MUST SCORE TO RETAIN POSSESSION = Keep shooting until you miss. Because if you keep shooting and making it [which is called scorng btw], then I guess you're fuckin retaining possession. So if Rose keeps making it, he keeps shooting it. The defender can't get the ball until Rose misses it.

what 5-5, 4-4, 3-3 pickup game do you know of that you can only take 3 dribbles before you have to shoot? "hey guys, let's play 5-5 full court. But you can't take more than 3 dribbles" wtf?

"I doubt him and his trainer are keep score..............nor is his trainer scoring......."

they're not, but they're doing the same exact thing basically. Defender on rose, and he's shooting. only difference is Rose isn't playing D. So i guess they're basically playing cutthroat because i can't imagine Rose is playing much D against his friends since he's probably schooling them.

AHHAH @ you still trying to defend that they're version is still a pickup game. You are the first person I have ever seen consider this a pickup game.

 

[BNB]

Thanks for the laugh FT. It's nice starting off the day with a good laugh.

Since I'll be going to the gym and I'll be playing basketball in a little, i'm gonna ask everyone there what they consider a pickup game for the **** of it.. see what they answer, then I'm gonna ask them if they consider Rose's version a pickup game.

I have this feeling none of them are gonna consider 1-1, 3 dribbles, shoot until you miss a pickup game

:lmao: :lmao:

 

[FirstTimer]

"The version of cutthroat Rose plays goes like this: Two players. Whoever has the ball starts at the top of the key, gets a maximum of three dribbles and must score to retain possession."

Which doesn't mean you have to make every shot you take.

There's this thing called "rebounding" which you can do off a missed shot.

Please STFU and/or think before posting.

yeah.. you're a fuckin moron, FT. MUST SCORE TO RETAIN POSSESSION = Keep shooting until you miss. Because if you keep shooting and making it [which is called scorng btw], then I guess you're fuckin retaining possession. So if Rose keeps making it, he keeps shooting it. The defender can't get the ball until Rose misses it.

And Rose can retain possesion after the shot by getting the rebound if he misses.

ZOMG!

It's like you've never played the game before.

BRB..just played it last night.

"I doubt him and his trainer are keep score..............nor is his trainer scoring......."

they're not,

So it's not a game.

Please STFU and/or think before posting.

but they're doing the same exact thing basically.

Actually they aren't.

The trainer can't get the rebound and score and win because there is no game being played.

 

[FirstTimer]

Since I'll be going to the gym and I'll be playing basketball in a little,

LOL at you playing ball.

Didn't know they had special ed leagues in college.

then I'm gonna ask them if they consider Rose's version a pickup game.

Considering you can't even accuratly describe or understand Rose's version...........Your question will be useless.

 

[BNB]

not much to understand. There are 2 people out there at once, correct? They can't take more than 3 dribbles, correct? if you keep scoring, you keep the ball, correct? Should be pretty easy to explain.

Or should i just walk in and say "Hey guys lets play a pickup game! okay Kyle lets go play over there so we don't get in the way of theyor 5-5 pickupgame. You can't take more than 3 dribbles before you shoot though.. you have to start at the top of the key, and if I keep making it, I keep shooting it, okay?"

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

 

[FirstTimer]

not much to understand.

Well..for normal people like me...

For someone like you....it must be complicated seeing as you've failed to explain it properly going on three time nows.

There are 2 people out there at once

Seemingly.

? They can't take more than 3 dribbles, correct?

Seemingly.

if you keep scoring, you keep the ball, correct?

Seemingly.

Should be pretty easy to explain.

Except you have no concept of the idea of "missing" and "rebounding" and thus have explained the game incorrectly multiple times.

Again, normal people like me with a functioning brain stem can describe the game..and even play it.

People like you...just kind of derp around.

 

[BNB]

BRB going to go watch BNB get worked up and think I give a **** about him falsely accusing me of being a pedo.

Also, FT... notice how you were bothered about me calling you a pedo [by bringing it again at that point] but you didn't even mention anything about me saying you were married to a relative? So I'm assuming you either are married to a relative or you're not married and just say you are to seem like less of a loser

gonna go play a 1-1 cutthroat "pickup game" with 1 person :lmao:

 

[FirstTimer]

I can use Wiki too!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-one_(basketball)

Twenty-one, also called 21, American, cutthroat, hustle, roughhouse or rough,[1] is a popular variation of street basketball. The game is played most often with three to five players on a half court, typically when not enough players are available to at least play three-on-three. However it is possible to play twenty-one with only two players, or more than five players. Twenty-one is an individual game that does not utilize team play.

If the free throw is missed, the ball becomes "live" and all players are allowed to rebound the ball. During live play, all rules apply with the exception that there are no out of bounds violations nor personal fouls

As for other rules specific to Rose's game, pelase refer to your own wiki entry talking about variations of rules specific to certain players.

Hooray for BNB being proved wrong time and time again!

I am.

Also, you never told me more about you in the 5th grade.

and you still don't grasp Rose's version.

their 1-1 version =/= to 3-5 people playing 21, which is a different game. isn't even the same as 2 people playing 21.

Shooting 3 free throws. If you make all of them, you get the ball and need to score to go back to shooting free throws. If you miss one of the 3 free thows, any one of the people that gets it can make it and go to the line.

different that what Rose and his friends were playing...


Also thank you for highlighting game to point out that there's no pickup in front of it. Because there IS a difference.

I still love how you got offended over me calling you a pedo but not getting over offended for saying you're married to a relative. 1 must be truw.... :thinking:

People usually deny things that are true [sandusky] so you're a pedo.

 

[FirstTimer]

and you still don't grasp Rose's version.

Wrong.

I do.

their 1-1 version =/= to 3-5 people playing 21, which is a different game. isn't even the same as 2 people playing 21.

You are completely unable to comprehend anything you read.

Ever.

Read again.

Try again.

Shooting 3 free throws. If you make all of them, you get the ball and need to score to go back to shooting free throws. If you miss one of the 3 free thows, any one of the people that gets it can make it and go to the line.

Again, read the damn entries.

it talks about how it can vary all over the country.

Jesus Christ. What college actually accepted you?

different that what Rose and his friends were playing...

I never said it was the exact same thing. In fact I pointed that out by posting this:

As for other rules specific to Rose's game, pelase refer to your own wiki entry talking about variations of rules specific to certain players.

Serious question: Are you Special person?

Also thank you for highlighting game to point out that there's no pickup in front of it.

No, there is no difference.

If I'm at the gym and we don't have enough for 3 on 3 or 5 on 5. You can play a pickup game of cutthroat/21. It's really easy. I burned through most HS summer evenings doing so. You can even play with these crazy rules like "winner stays". Crazy, I know.

People usually deny things that are true [sandusky] so you're a pedo.

Yep. Pedo and married to a relative.

Got me.
