Sports in the United States is one of the most important part of the country’s culture. Basketball is one of the main sport played by every other person here. It continues to drive the audience off their seats. However, I am not going to talk about how or why people love basketball or how to be a better player. I am going to make all of you relive some experiences that I bet you would have experienced if you ever played basketball in your life. Maybe you are one of those specific "type" of people that all of us have dealt with at least once and if not, they must have pissed you off at least once.

1. Mr. Excuse Me

“I am sour!”

“The ball just slipped”

“I don’t have the right shoes!”

Do these statement sounds familiar too you? If not then you haven’t played basketball in your life. There is always this dude playing basketball who messes up during the whole game and keeps making excuses about how he pulled his muscle or how the ball slipped from his hand.

2. The Football Player!

Football is competitive in popularity with basketball, we all are aware of this fact. However, I believe it’s a totally different game. But still there are some instances when you have to deal with some crazy football fans playing basketball, running insanely across the court trying to steal the ball, or snatch the ball, if appropriately said.

3. Fouler

Have you ever played with someone who always thinks that basketball is not about making baskets but rather it’s a game of calling fouls?

My bad! – Guy

“My bad” is something that we hear every time we play basketball. It’s a savior phrase that makes you the most kind and generous person in the world who accepts his mistakes. But the truth is, it is annoying.

4. Mr. Coach

Have you ever been into teaching? Maybe not! But those guys on the basketball court who bring out their hidden coaching skills and make you do some moves you have never even heard of should think about it. If you haven’t been ever been yelled at by these people and explained by them about how to play basketball, then you don’t belong to this court.

5. The Old Guy

The Old Guy is when you have a senior playing with you who looks more experienced but actually cannot even dribble the ball. This person becomes almost everyone’s concern in the game because no one wants to be responsible of breaking few hundreds bones of his. Luckily, I haven’t been into such a situation yet but I would love to hear your experiences about how did you handle this situation, because everyone is just trying to have fun

6. Mr. Dreamer

The future NBA player, the world's best dunker! Those day dreamers will always stick around the basketball court. I bet you have met people who claim that they can dunk, but the truth is they cannot even jump.
