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.

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.

Unnoticed RA: "You better not be doing that in my hall."
Girl: "Oh... I meant basketball shots."
*Quickly leaves*
