Five on one basketball is the act of masturbating. Since your hand has five fingers(generally) and you use your hand to masturbate(usually), the term was coined.
Man, when I'm stressed out, I get in a good game of
"Hey, did you and that broad have sex last night?"
"Nah, she got me all worked up and left, so I got in a good session of 'five one one basketball' to cure my blue balls"
Masturbation.
In other words:
Choking the chicken Choking the monkey
wacking off
jerking off
shaking hands with man's best friend
teasing the weasel
Dude, we all know that last night you did the five finger knuckle shuffle on the one-eyed, blue-veined, purple-headed, custard-chucking, salty yogurt slinger.
