These 3 get me the most. I encountered the worst bad gear guy. Dude was a tall hippie wearing SANDALS!!

I'd bet $10 that you're the "Coach on the Floor" guy.

I'm closest to #4. Before and after games, I almost always jump to touch the rim. I gotta get back out on the court... it's been far too long.

Pants, where do you play? Do you know of any good places around town?

I'm not asking in a creepy, single white female kind of way . . . I'm just curious because I'm getting really tired of the guys who play at my apartment complex.

Anything east of I-35!

Well, I was playing in Hyde Park, but I'm out of that neighborhood now. My most recent game was actually at my brother's shop on St. Elmo (hardly a great place to play). I like to avoid Gregory gym because of the fratty douches, so I actually have nowhere to play right now.

I was actually kinda hoping you'd know of a good place. I wish there was a place where only old, fat guys played, so I'd look like a badass.

I used to play at this court near 30th and Guadalupe, between Trudy's and Crown.

While in school, I played mostly at the Rec Center---though you had to be lucky because usually there aren't enough guys to play. I hate playing at Gregory, for the reasons you mentioned. (The girls are nice to look at, though.)
