He also feeds a wing player the ball and hops away telling them to go ISO so he can get the green light for the next 10 possessions. He has handles and a decent shot, but absolutely no idea how basketball works.

I can be like this at times, except I don't throw crazy passes in 2 on 1 breaks. If I think other people can handle the scoring load better than I can, I'll distribute it around even though sometimes me taking a shot might be a better shot.

zone d is just for people who are old and cant move too fast, so they play team D.. very smart.. guess what they are doing is smart, cause it's working since you're complaining..

things i cant stand is people taking charges during pick up games... and people thinking you cant play cause you're not black..

I don't see the problem with taking a charge in a pick-up game if someone's just going to lower their head and bulldozing in the lane. I'm a center, so I don't bother with trying to take a charge, but don't see an issue.

Taking charges during a pick-up game? If the person guarding me did that I would just tell him "Weight Room!" hit the jumper and give him the 

 look.

I hate playing with football players.

Pretty much. It's a tactic for players who get beat to the cup.

Just because there are no free throws and unlimited fouls doesn't mean that the game has to be cheapened.

Cheapened? I guess Pro and College players don't do the same thing

Stop the bloodclot crying and take the ball out

Pro and College players can only do it 5-6 times a game.
