Man I'm sorry, I sympathize. Nobody tells you that your body will start breaking down in your middle twenties and presumably get worse from there. I can't even think about doing something strenuous outside a pool without clearing the next day for icing and laying on the floor. When I play basketball now I stand at the 3 point line and lightly jog back on defense. It really sucks, but there are things you can do without putting undue strain on your body, and if you're very very conscientious about training, biomechanics, and recovery, you can still do what you love once in a while.

Sypher posted:Ok So I am 100% officially signed up for a league. I am 29 years old and haven't played since High School. Nobody on my team besides myself and one other has played an organized game of basketball beyond youth. It should be hilarious, but I ask you. What is the best way to be somewhat competitive? I am thinking just man to man defense with a lot of pick & roll plays. I have a couple extremely athletic players on my team(one of them is top 100 cross-fit in the USA), but they have no bball IQ. Give me some ideas for easy plays for a bunch of newbies. Get on that Steph Curry non jumping jumpshot. Then, like everyone else said, teach everyone the basics of the pick and roll, my Church league basketball coach taught me in a day and I was just some dumb kid in a polo shirt. It's not hard at all.

laz0rbeak posted:I didn't throw any punches, but about a year and a half ago I was on a court with a really sketchy white dude with dreads. He was getting mad at the 16-17 year old kid guarding him too tight, and after the two did a little trash-talking, he comes down with the ball and when the kid goes to guard him, he just sucker-punched him. I got between them, and this little poo poo takes a few swings at me like I'm coming at him, instead of, you know, separating him from the teenager he just punched. I ended up biting through my lip and getting a few stitches, along with a black eye, and was a groomsmen in a wedding that weekend looking like Frankenstein's monster. Of course the dude took off immediately, and the gym's only listed address for the guy was out of state, so even though I pressed charges, nothing ever happened. I hope he didn't give you herpes simplex 10 or anything

Doltos posted:I pulled off the invention move on a tall black kid who said Hah, Okay, then proceeded to block my next seven shots Hhahaha. That's so fantastic. I finished my first 2 months of rehab for my back, and I'm waiting on a new rx for more. So I played a little pickup at the gym and could actually jump and move a little bit. It was nice.

What's the best basketball shoe review place? I'm looking for some basket shoes that are extra fortified and that can support the brittle ankles of a pan european body.

RCarr posted:I still play, but only once a week or so. My back is so hosed up that it takes me that long to recover from playing for 2 hours. I have poo poo insurance too so I can't really do anything about it Theres a book called becoming a supple leopard that sort of walks you through fixing body stuff. If you can't get your insurance to pay for rehab it's worth a shot.

thompson posted:I'm blessed to live in San Diego where there are over 12 rec centers countywide that have open gym on various days of the week. An actual indoor court really makes a difference. The rims are softer, the ground is softer, ball handling even seems easier. Stretching is important but good biomechanics and strong accessory muscles are just as important.

danucleus posted:This is more a strength (probably technique too) related question: how do you guys keep from getting stripped within the arc? I'm 5'10" and I would like to cut and get in the paint way more than I normally do, but it's hard because when interior D is packing in, I sometimes get stripped. I just hate getting stripped in these or 50/50 situations and sometimes I think the defense may be reaching in, but who wants to be that guy? I hate hugging the ball in these situations because it stops everything, but maybe that's what I should just do? If they're reaching in, don't be afraid to hip bump them or give them a stiff arm. I suppose you might want to do squats to strongthin your legs and do some back and core work to give you the power to push

I know they're probably sold for 8x the production cost, but the made in USA nike basketball socks are great, they might be the greatest. I can go for so much longer without footaches

Intruder posted:Might have to try them because I spend the hours between ball and bed alternating between walking gingerly around the house and using the shiatsu foot massager I've at this point basically confiscated from my wife The socks are great. People say the official NBA socks are the best, but the stores nearest to me don't sell them, so I can't buy them enough for my sake rotation purposes. Have you tried wrapping your ankles and your insoles? That helps a lot. If I don't, the big knobby bone on the top of the arch aches forevermore. My strategy now is to wrap everything, I wrap insoles, ankles, knees, and elbows. When you pass 26 any lateral movement in the joints comes back to haunt you, better to prevent it at the source.

Regnevelc posted:sure, that's what they all say Hahaha it causes micro-tears and is nearly inevitable!!!!!! Doltos posted:Wrapping your joints and muscles are used for a variety of reasons that depend from person to person. So you're right that wrapping for everyone isn't necessary, but it is for a lot of people. Thank you for the info. I have a food sensitivity that I didn't know I had for a few years, and part of the triggered immune response was against my joints, which left me with arthritis-like pains in the ones that got the most wear. If I know I haven' had any exposure in a while, then I'll play without wrapping them, but if I've had any exposure in the last week or so, or I've just been playing a lot, I wrap them, just based on what hurt and what didn't hurt when/where. The Arnie Kander training tip videos on pistons.com have some good stuff in the vein you're recommending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwswF-KSqco https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=playlist Here are some short videos that show some basketball drills He was forcibly demoted by Stan Van Gundy, after overseeing one of the healthiest teams in the NBA during his tenure.
