HawkSquawk Pick-Up Game?

[ATL_BALLER]

I'm not sure how many of you like to play, but I think it'd be a fun opportunity for those of us in Atlanta to hoop it up together (and hey, if you want to travel, join us!) It would be worth the price alone to see Walter D-up Diesel.

Any takers?

I can run approximately 5 feet before collapsing and dying. Also, Stevie Wonder probably has a better shot than me. I'd love to come meet some of you guys though.

I live in Md but i was planning on visiting in the near future. I haven't played much up here but it only takes a couple of minutes for my J to get warmed up.

I wonder how many here can actually play.

Sweet, Ex - when are you coming?

I like to THINK I can play - I call my jumper "The Georgia Floater".

[DJ_Money]

I've got a mean skyhook, but not much else.

Maybe we could get the floor as the halftime entertainment one night. After all, we'd probably look about like the little kids that they run out there occasionally.

I don't have any firm plans. One of my friends has been bugging me awhile to come down. I probably won't be able to make it until march at the earliest.

I'd play if we can get something organized...it would have to be on the weekend for me.

[gutz]

I'm only 5'9 but I play like I'm 6'6!!! I dominate on the boards and have a sweet jumper that extends to 3-point range.

[West]

I'll play, I know nobody knows me.. but i've been reading posts on this board for like 3 years now.. Just never posted.. But I would like to play in a pickup game..

Has to be on a weekend

[AtLaS]

I'd do it on a weekend, y'all want no part of my handles..

where would this be at? in ATL somewhere??

[West]

and I'm guessing this would be indoors... its freezing right now

[Dragitoff]

I live in South Georgia so just let me know when you might want to do this. I'm playing in the city leagues right now so my endurance is about as good as it's gonna' be. I played 7 straight minutes last night for my longest stint of the season.

[Theeyo]

I'm down, but I'll probably pass out if we play full court. haha oh yeah I'll probably also be the shortest player on the court at 5'5

[Popeye]

I play for fun at least 2 times a week. I am 6'4 185 lbs, but i like to shoot the 3 ball though. I would definetly want to play with yall, sign me up. I will break Diesel's both ankles, hahaha... JK i am not that quick though. I still can't dunk, but i can get up high and block some shots. I am everywhere, i compare my self to Kirlenko. I look a lot like him. I even have the same haircut as AK47 and we are both europeans.

I haven't played full court in pver a year but i run 3 miles 5 times a week so i might have you beat in the endurance dept. Just maybe.

Hey MW24, im about 6'5/6'6 and i play a couple times a week at ga state. They all call me either dirk or larry bird because of the way i play and look. (i ain't as ugly as bird though, just the hair)

I'm definately down for a pick up game. Sundays work really well for me. Would it be in Atlanta?

[BossTweed]

I'm up for a game on the weekend sometime here in Atlanta or anywhere pretty close by (marietta, roswell, gwinett maybe, etc). I usually play pick-up games at the YMCA once or twice a week. This would be fun.

Also, does anyone know of any public basketball leagues in Atlanta? The only ones I have ever heard people talk about are church leagues. I'd love to play competitive ball but I don't know how to find a league.

[exodus]

I played in a company league when i was with BCBS near Lenox Mall. It was pretty lame though. Guys get so petty worrying about how many minutes they are playing or how many points they are scoring.

Plus it was like hardly playing. Even when I played the whole game i felt like i wanted to keep playing afterwards. It was like going to play pickup ball and then leaving after one game. Sometimes i would go running after a game because it felt like i hadn't had a workout.

I like pickup games a lot better.

[Dragitoff]

maybe so, but I also run on off nights on my eliptical for 30 minutes a day so my endurance is pretty good and running for exercise is a little different than running in a basketball game. You tend to push yourself harder for spurts rather than pace yourself. That's why I listen to my Ipod when I run. Faster songs or faster parts of songs, I run faster.
