Why can’y some just Man Up?
I find myself in constant conflict when playing basketball. Giving the fact my athletic background lays in track and football and I’ve developed as a man to be a speed machine and athletically elite to my average friends. I combine strength flexibility and explosiveness to make my opponents look silly. The guys I play basketball with are by no means what you call athletically gifted granted their not slobs but you can tell none of them no what it means to have dedicated their lives to their training to better themselves in their sport they just play. So last night we are playing 4 vs 4 full court my kind of game I can run more. I play hard and train even harder. I’ve grown up being the short small guy. As a man I don’t like being pushed around I don’t like it if someone can overpower me so I’ve trained to the point that not many can. When were playing some solid 4 vs 4 on the court its not college or an NBA game its man ball. Don’t call everything you can your not impressing anyone. I’m guarding my man and when he lowers a shoulder to drive im going to shuffle my body to meet the contact its not my fault he can get by me fast enough. It get to the point were I will be driving the court and two guys will try to sandwhich me and I lower my shoulder to drive to the basket they arent fast enough so I take both of them down with me and call the blocking fould because both of them dragged me down. At this point all I hear is little piss ant comment of how my roid rage is acting up and just trash talk about the style of playing. If someone comes inside I put an arm up and jump if we meet in the air so be it but christ these guys need to stop complaining and just Man it up.

Call me old school but sometimes I wish some of these guys would just go through a gauntlet with me and when I whoop their ass they’ll realize they need to spend more time on becoming on true competitor and less time whining.
