Rich Kid Basketball
November 28, 2006
Rich Kid basketball. Their game is very, very, different. They fear contact. They call fouls when you so much as breathe in their direction. They prefer shooting 3’s and looking good rather than setting screens and driving for a higher percentage shot.
Playing defense or boxing out do not exist. The Rich Kid basketball world comes to a halt every time someone hits the floor or when a penetrator gets bumped hard. Tempers flair when the game gets rough.
The upside to Rich Kid basketball is that everything is organized. They run plays, and they know their roles. They’re really skilled at shooting and avoiding contact. Man, can they shoot! They’re really good at arguing calls too.
No disrespect meant. These guys play good basketball, it’s just too clean for me. It lacks a bit of the grit that I prefer. Everyone knows I play it rough and hard. I don’t do it any other way. Let’s just say that Rich Kid basketball is everything I’m not, and needless to say, I looked like an outcast out there. Think Danny Fortson playing for the Suns.
