fundamental basketball

What your racist uncle says what the issue is with basketball while watching an NBA game. It’s a dog whistle meaning that they don’t like the black players. They usually idolize Larry Bird.

Uncle JimBob: The problem with the NBA is that they don’t focus on fundamental basketball. That’s why college is better.

Greenville basketball

Shitties team in mvl by far. Comb over bum ass coach and his little boy with the same hair cut as daddy and don’t forget the bald spot. Literally 2-22 we own George Washington tho.

Greenville basketball is ass and we never win.

Basketball Present

the term "Basketball-Present" was coined by Benjamin F. McMurry III, as a term used to describe a present that is given to someone else but ultimately meant for your self. - The term originated from a story in which the creator of the term (Benjamin F. McMurry) gave his father, (who was in no way affiliated with sports) a basketball for his Christmas gift. Ben's father of course had no use for the Basketball, so it inevitably returned back to him (Ben).

Person 1: "My art teacher Miss Claire bought a box of sharpies for her husband Carl as a birthday gift,

Person 2: "sounds like she gave him a basketball present"
Person 1: "Exactly!"

basketball shots

A really bad coverup/code name for shots when you realize your RA is in sitting right next to you in the lab.

Girl: "Hey, I have got to go, a couple of my friends are taking shots and I want to go join them."
Unnoticed RA: "You better not be doing that in my hall."
Girl: "Oh... I meant basketball shots."
*Quickly leaves*
