Basketball isn't just about the X's and O's—it's also about the unique dynamics that emerge when men and women share the court. Whether you're flirting during a pickup game or strategizing with female teammates who opponents underestimate, understanding these dynamics can elevate both your game and social life.

• The basketball court offers natural opportunities for flirting and meeting potential romantic interests
• Shooting around at the gym makes for an easy, low-pressure first date option
• Women can be strategic assets as teammates because opponents often underestimate them
• Many men take women lightly on the court, creating offensive advantages for teams that utilize female shooters
• Girls often outplayed boys during childhood years because women develop physically earlier
• Even professional male players like Reggie Miller were outplayed by female counterparts (Cheryl Miller) growing up
• In co-ed leagues where women's points count more, utilizing female teammates becomes essential strategy
• Don't underestimate women as opponents—they might expose your weakness and embarrass you on the court

Comment, tell anyone who'sanyone about the show, try to
get the ratings up a little bit.
You know just a little bit, but, like I said, we're going to

(00:27):
hoops.
How to actually play women onthe basketball court.
You understand me, you hear me.
Now.
There's a couple, there's acouple ways to go about this.
Right, we got them as teammates, we got them as opponents.
You can throw a little loveequation into the mix, that's
right.
You can get a little love inbasketball.
We're not just talking aboutthe movie.
That was a good movie, though.
Damn, I kind of want to watchit anyways, back on track.

(00:50):
Flirting, right, flirting inbasketball does occur.
Now, as a guy you know I'msaying always talked about
wanting to have a cute girl backup on you on the basketball
court.
You know what I'm saying.
Like oh, yeah, she's going toback me down.
Yeah, she's going to back medown.

(01:11):
You know what I'm saying.
Like it's an opportunity toeasily talk to the opposite sex.
It is Like you on the meet.
Think about it.
You on the wing right and let'ssay she's your opponent, you're
easily gone, you're guardingher.

(01:31):
So you got it, you got, youmight talk to her.
Where are you going to be?
On the block cutting across thepaint?
It does not matter.
That's an easy opportunity foryou to talk to that person.
Now, what happens if you wantto recommend a good first date?
Right, the gym, keep it easy,keep it light.

(01:56):
Hey, let's go shoot around,let's go get some hoops, let's
go get a bucket.
That's easy to do.
So again, flirting, playingwomen definitely easy to do, and
I'm talking about on the court,not playing them, actually like
playing against them, becauseagain, you got the opportunity.
Whether it's your opponent,whether it's your teammate,
you're able to flirt.

(02:16):
Now let's bring up teammates.
Let's bring them up asteammates.
Let's bring up teammates, let'sbring them up as teammates.
I think a lot of times peopledon't recognize the advantage of
having women on your team.
You have a lot of men who aregoing to take women slightly,

(02:37):
very lightly, very lightly, andbecause of that, imagine if they
can shoot a little bit.
You drive and kick, split,that's them Cash.
I'll take that, because nowthey're going to move around,
set a quick little screen, shootthe ball.
They're worried about theirjump shot.

(02:59):
Meanwhile I'm going to get therebound in case she misses, but
taking them lightly early on, orwe're going to get them points
early on, that's going to giveus a little cushion.
So again, I like that.
Women can be good shooters.
They can be more than that too.
I got a homegirl who actuallycan penetrate and kick out.
So if I want to just pull up,hey, handle that.
Rock right quick for me.

(03:20):
So again, men, you take themlightly and I might expose that.
Now there are some disadvantagestoo.
Yes, you got the physicaldisadvantages.
Okay, I hear that.
Maybe less rebounding, I hearthat.
But I'll say this rebounding iseffort.
A lot of stuff is effort inbasketball.
So if she wants it more thanthan a guy does, hey, I'm going

(03:44):
to take that hooper inbasketball.
So if she wants it more than aguy does, hey, I'm going to take
that hooper Because, again, shewants it more.
So, men, if I'm y'all, don'ttake them too lightly.
Now, if we're talking about asopponents, there's different
stages of this one.
There's different stages and wegot to talk, we got to harp on
these, bro, because as kids,women are despicable, despicable

(04:05):
, oh my god.
I hate y'all, I hate.
I had a.
There was this one drunk.
There was this girl across theacross the street from me and
she used to beat my ass, like sooften.
It was infuriating to havehappened, which is why I really
don't understand why men takewomen lightly on the basketball
court Like I need to get my getback most often.
Now, as adults again, Iunderstand why you might take

(04:31):
them lightly in theory.
Still, you shouldn't Causeagain.
As kids they were dog walkingbecause women develop quicker
than men.
So it made sense why, at leastnow it made sense why they're
better than, why they werebetter than us.
Can't, can't take, like, can'ttake them lightly.
I'm sorry, not at all.

(04:52):
Now, if we're talking casually,all right, fine, you can take
them lightly, like, like, cool.
And when I say casually, like afun game of threes or two, you
know I'm saying something whereeveryone's clearly joking around
.
But the moment it hits foes,definitely fives, because if we

(05:12):
run it up and down the court itis competitive.
So in the moment, because onescan be competitive.
So I don't want to put that ascasual.
Twos and threes they can becompetitive.
I'll put them as more casual,right?
Fours and fives yeah, you'regoing to have to be competitive
on that one.
You got to take them lightly.
You cannot take them lightly.

(05:33):
You got to be serious aboutthem Because, again, remember
when you were younger, champ,remember all the girls that used
to dog walk you.
And it happened.
Don't act like you.
Never lost to a girl growing up, like even professional
basketball players.
Lost to women growing up.
Cheryl Miller better thanReggie Miller, he was an NBA.
I'm just saying, like bro, ithappens.

(05:53):
So again, whether we're talkingabout the formative years or as
professional basketball players, women as opponents you don't
want to take them lightlyBecause you might find, let's
say, if you play in a co-edleague, you might find a guy
like me who's going to takeadvantage of a guy like you,

(06:14):
especially if the league is madewhere women's points are more
than men's.
Oh yeah, all the women aregoing to be getting a bucket on
my team.
It's strategy, why not?
If you don't, you're stupid,sorry.
So again, ladies and gentlemen,boys and girls, y'all know I've

(06:34):
been following the WNBA, but inreal life.
How do you play women and I'mnot talking about in the love
life, I'm talking about on thecourt.
That's why I love basketball, Ilove the movie Love and
Basketball, but we're nottalking about love and
basketball right now.
We're talking about well, Iguess we no, we talked about
flirting.
Love ain't on the first date,love is not on the first.

(06:56):
I don't think so.
If you think so, maybe commentbelow, but again, we're talking
about basketball and how to playwomen, teammates, opponents.
Yes, you can have a littleflirting involved.
Don't think shit sweet all thetime, though, though, because
that girl might dog you too, andthat's the thing too.
Imagine if you flirting and sheuse your flirting against you

(07:19):
to get a bucket, and it makesyou look stupid in front of
everybody.
Dang, I'm halfway moreattracted.
I'm halfway more attracted toher.
Oh my gosh, now I got to goplay Hoops right fast.
I got to go fast back.
I just sounded desperate.
You are, that's funny, but look, that's the end of the show.

(07:43):
