You know you're old when...

I show up at the public park today to play basketball at noon, and one of the 20-something "kids" yells out to me:

"Hey old-school, you want to play with us?"



I wasn't even wearing the 70's tighty-whities or knee-high tube socks with a stripe at the top...

Oh, to be young and on the playground playing ball again... It’s a reoccurring dream I have, getting old sucks!

I played basketball three days a week year round until my son turned 10, then I gave my life to running, starting, coaching & organizing everything about youth sports.

Can't believe it's been 24 years

Stay young Zit, don't quit

I used to play a little ball .... the brothers ( black guys ) used to call me LARRY BIRD , that's right boys I was pretty good RWJR could hoop

Hmmmm....you're too much of a comedian and trash talker more like Billy Hoyle.

 

[bigbet1234]

The real question is.......did you dunk on them? Lol

I play basketball with my nephews weekly. At 46 I still beat them 9/10 times. Hahaha

They are 14 and 16. We are headed to Chicago Tuesday for a short trip. Our Airbnb has a half court. I’m sure I’ll school them some more.

Take it to the hole fez! Hahaha

I'll take that as a w-thumbs!^ compliment ...... I could talk " smack " with the best of them

It was meant to be bud as your board persona strikes me more like Billy Hoyle than Bird who was a serious personality.

Dude I take it, based on previous posts, that you're in your 50's? And if you're playing full court for 2 HOURS WITH 20 YEAR OLDS,
then you're not old man!! God bless! Most guy's in their 50's can only dream of playing for 2 hours with 20 year olds!
