Top 10 Worst Feelings in Basketball
Basketball is a fun game but sometimes things happen that are embarrassing. If you have played basketball before chances are you have unfortunately experienced at least one of these things before.There's nothing worse than playing defense when all of a sudden your opponent crosses you over and "breaks ankles" as you fall helpless onto your butt meanwhile your opponent zooms on by scoring an easy layup. This is the epitome of embarrassment and at that point you might as well just stop playing basketball
It's funny to see someone fall after getting crossed, but it makes you feel dumb in the moment.
I've been crossed up once in my life. Me and him still laugh about it to this day.
You just got a steal and nobody's behind you. You race up the court and try to dunk it and flex your muscles. Instead you turn it into embarrassment. This is what happens when you decide to get too cocky instead of just getting the basket
Layups are easy. Now sure you might not get an open look so if you Miss it's at least understandable. But if there's nobody else around and you miss you might as well just sit on the bench for the rest of the game
I'm not major into basketball but when I play if I miss one I just kind of stand there and be disappointed in myself.
Earning a trip to the free throw line isn't easy and air balling is not only a wasted opportunity but you have to deal with the chants of AIR BALL AIR BALL! For an eternity.
Free throws are important and when you have a 1 and 1 this is especially true. You had a tough shot but the refs whistle gives you a consultation prize in a trip to the line. Missing that first 1 and 1 is like a missed opportunity
Yeah it's not fun at all when you just look up and see your opponent hanging on the rim as they slam dunk on you.
It feels good to drive the lane and score on your opponent knocking them over until you hear the ref whistle with a hand pointed in the opposite Direction. It sucks getting a charge but if you are knocked down and take a charge that's a different story
Yeah once or twice.
You have the ball and you want to go up to the rim and score only for an opponent to meet you and deny your shot. Sending you back down with no points. Only thing you can hope for is a Ref whistle for a foul instead
Yeah especially when I was shorter. Now I'm a lot taller and I don't get blocked as much.
I'm a small forward and it's annoying when I steal or rebound the ball, (Miss a Layup), and I pass to the Point Guard and miss the pass. One time I bounce passed to a Point Guard and the other team stole the ball and ran to the hoop. I was already back though so he had to try and layup. Luckily he missed.
Usually a miscommunication between teammates but it's always embarrassing when someone throws a ball out of bounds when there's nobody there. That's just a bad turnover
Being the Point Guard 90% of the time, I'm the one that gets in trouble.
You dribble over half court and suddenly you find yourself trapped in the corner with no place to go. Trying to make some space you step over the line and turnover..
When you think about it, this probably does have the worst affect on you
