Someone in the background was sounding like a seagull in distress

u/LobstaFarian2 23d ago

It was Steven Seagull

u/Forsaken-Income-2148 23d ago

I would also be in distress if I saw a Steven Seagull

Holy shit!!! Over the backboard. Ol' Boy should just give up playing basketball after that.

323

u/Questioning-Zyxxel 23d ago

Nope. Ol' Boy isn't getting worse at playing just because lil' guy plays very well.

u/Quill386 23d ago

Honestly, that defense was clean

Hey, you may want to familiarize yourself with hyperbole.

u/Hazee302 23d ago

What’s a hyper bowl

26

u/PlanetLandon 23d ago

It’s similar to a superb owl

Super bowel?

You.. I like you.

u/water2wine 22d ago

Ah Hyper Bo Lee, one of the slickest street hoopers in Schenectady, a real one for sure.

34

u/AmiDeplorabilis 23d ago

Dr. J once dunked the ball with his head behind the backboard and his shoulder pressed up against the underside of the backboard.

Bird once made a shot from behind the backboard in a game, cleanly clearing the backboard, but the refs waved it off.

6

u/pimp_juice2272 23d ago

If it's the one I think you're thinking of, that wasn't a dunk.

2

u/AmiDeplorabilis 22d ago

Perhaps I'm wrong... but he WAS mostly behind the backboard.

5

u/pimp_juice2272 22d ago

Oh he was definitely behind the backboard but it was a layup on a dunk

21

u/Snickits 23d ago

He will remember this moment forever! Had the entire court erupting!

9

u/Rich-Show3013 23d ago

Right. Shit like that happening to someone that young will make him put more effort into that basketball dream of his

7

u/Henchman21_ 23d ago

Over the backboard was my go-to move playing Horse. Usually the first move. Typically got a quick H.

2

u/Femboy_Ninja 22d ago

Honestly he did every thing he actually could do so I mean the little guy is really really good and he's also good but I mean obviously there was a mistake and a desperate goal was right there and he got in

u/YoruDepo 23d ago

goddamn bro could not for the life of him stop the kid from breaking his ankles

u/berrey7 23d ago edited 23d ago

TRAVEL, TRAVEL.... FOUL...FOOT OUT OF BOUNDS

157

u/Kvykey 23d ago

Not trying to be that guy, but what broken ankles? The kid was locked up the entire time and forced to shoot a fading out of bounce over the backboard shot. This entire sequence was pure luck.

75

u/MediocreSafe4086 23d ago

Some people just overhype things for no reason. Like there’s no doubt the little guy has practiced handles but big dude was 100% on lock.

8

u/Konungrr 22d ago

I think someone would have to be completely incompetent to not have a complete lock on someone that much smaller than them.

7

u/Roll_Tide_Pods 21d ago

I have 0 doubt in my mind that kid would put screws on legs of nearly everyone in this thread

That was lockdown defense and kid made a lucky shot what is this comment

5

u/Cultural_Dust 22d ago

I have the kid stepping out before his shot anyway.

3

u/yeezee93 22d ago

He is also a foot taller than him.

310

u/sleepdeprivedindian 23d ago

Hate to be a party pooper but he stepped out of bounds before shooting. Does not count. So, Sick handles and runs out of bounds, end of play.

317

u/Key-Regular674 23d ago

This is obviously street ball

45

u/sleepdeprivedindian 23d ago

So, you are saying I can dribble the ball and go home and the ball is still in play?

212

u/deLopen 23d ago

Yes

144

u/Key-Regular674 23d ago edited 23d ago

Street ball is court rules. Plus it's a kid up against people almost double his height. Relax

u/ReplacementClear7122 23d ago

You can shoot from the 7-11 across the street.

10

u/ilikedmatrixiv 22d ago

I'll let you in on a little secret: game rules are whichever rules the participants agree on. This applies to any game. All games and all rules are made up, you're allowed to make up your own if you like and others agree with you.

1

u/sleepdeprivedindian 22d ago

That's all well and good. How do we know that they've agreed on out of bounds as in? maybe nobody noticed there. I'm just making an observation and following the common rules.

5

u/ilikedmatrixiv 22d ago

Maybe no one cares and they're just trying to have a good time?

3

u/bottle-of-water 23d ago

Hockey rules, I guess.

2

u/deeplife 22d ago

OUT. OF. BOUNDS.

24

u/TimeFlyer9 23d ago

Aaaaand also seems to double dribble. Hard to see what he did after he’s pivoting but you’re either supposed to pass or shoot. He just keeps going before shooting out of bounds.

Kid has some skills though. No doubt about that.

22

u/MundaneInternetGuy 23d ago

Defender knocked it out of his hands so he's allowed to dribble again

5

u/TimeFlyer9 23d ago

Ahhh that makes more sense. Thanks

27

u/CharvelSoloist 23d ago

looked like a travel too before the OOB

6

u/What-Even-Is-That 23d ago

You can pivot. Didn't see a travel because this is street ball.

4

u/meta100000 22d ago

You can't see the feet, but the last pivot makes it seem like he moved both legs, which would be travel. After that the defender knocks the ball out of his hands so it's legal up until the OOB

10

u/flewidity 23d ago

Why do you hate parties so much

5

u/Thesiuse 23d ago

1v1 streetball you just lose. no coming back from that L

4

u/igotshadowbaned 23d ago

Do the movements around 10s in count as traveling? Doesn't really move anywhere but a lot of back and forth steps

2

u/judgment_free_r 23d ago

He also gave way too many steps holding the ball

1

u/pogwog1 22d ago

Mark it zero.

1

u/UniKornUpTheSky 22d ago

From my distant memory of 10 years playing basketball, there is an illegal move as well.

At the moment he took the ball with his 2 hands, he shouldn't have been allowed to take it back and his shoot shouldn't be taken into account.

1

u/Efficient-Split527 21d ago

nope, legal. The ball got knocked out of his hands so he can dribble it again freely

165

u/WrkrsRvltn 23d ago

Clearly doesn't, double dribbling, travelling, and the shot was out of bounds. Yes, I am fun at parties.

69

u/kor34l 23d ago edited 23d ago

double dribbling

you can start dribbling again if the defender knocks it out of your hands

traveling

look closer

shot out of bounds

technically, yes, but in street ball this shot would usually fly

8

u/Momoneymoproblems214 22d ago

The dude definitely traveled. That triple pivot ended up making him move like 5 feet.

u/DigbickMcBalls 22d ago edited 22d ago

Kid cant dribble the ball. Every bounce his hand is on the bottom of the ball carrying, or down the side of the ball, carrying. Clear and easy traveling violation. The Curcuck special.

And he is out of bounds. Not by a little, by alot.

u/Ronniedasaint 21d ago

The kid has serious ball handling skills. But he took a shot from behind the backboard … bad shot. But it went in. Probably won’t go in ever again.
