KB's Summer Pick-Up Games

I've heard Bayliss has been talking smack about you KB.

Nice pics too.

That logo on the side reminds me of a quote from my Under 16 coach:

"Never try to shoot like Kevin Brooks again! Promise me! Never!"

Are you playing, KB?

ya know it moses. i've still got, "the skillz to pay the billz"..........could also stand to burn off a little pasta.
hey double clutch, thanks for starting off my morning with a good laugh.
by the way, do you guys have game???

do you need to bring 5 guys, or can you just turn up and join a 'team'

hey isaac, thanks for the hook-up. you da man! hope to see you out, i would love to cross you over.
as for that "TOPPS SKILLS RATING SYSTEM" about my "d", that's crap. look at that textbook defensive stance..........but down, back straight, deflector hand out, close enough to touch my opponent, head up, as usual mouth open.........notice the red on the court.........i was "d"ing jordan's ass up baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yo petey, you can just turn up and get your hoop on or you can bring your homeys.

YO JUST REMEMBER DUDES, THESE PICK-UP GAMES ARE NOT FOR EVERYBODY. PRO PLAYERS AND PLAYERS WITH PRO CALIBER ONLY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SAY, "YES OR NO" TO ANYONE...... WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU COME OVER, THINK YOU GOT MAD GAME, BUT IN ACTUALITY, YOU SUCK. THAN YOU CAN WORK THE SCOREBOARD. FOR GUYS I DON'T KNOW, YOU MUST HAVE SOMEONE THAT I DO KNOW WHO CAN VOUCH FOR YOU AND YOUR GAME. PEACE OUT.

GOD___FAMILY___DA WOOD

yo double clutch, you tell bayliss, scanlon, the panther and the rest of those thundercats, to BRING IT ON!!!

Hey cheesedick,
If you were 'D'ing up Jordan, then you would have been in another card ...... getting dunked on!!

Will the bar be open?

Is it your birthday today KB?

bootney, you da man, come on brus i think its time to dust of the kicks and join me and some other old balls. we gotta show some of these young lads how its done.

Hey Issac, I have a pic of a mister D.Mee (how do I cut/paste)

It needs to be hosted somewhere. e.g., http://www.imageshack.us/

Hopefully Todd Mundt doesn't plan on playing if he's in town.

Might get nasty again.

9. Denver Nuggets
With the 9th pick, the Nuggets select:
Ervin Johnson, C, 6-11, New Orleans.

Kevin Brooks has had two years to step up and show something, and he's yet to do it. He came out of college as a somewhat heralded scorer, but his awkward, slow-release jump shot has hindered him in the NBA. He's got a gunner's mentality but is lacking confidence to really score (of course limited playing time contributes to this). His defense is poor, and he doesn'trebound that well. It's likely that Brooks will be gone nextyear.

John Exby. Rick Grubin.

there's only one guy who calls me "cheesedick"........the original "CHEESEDICK", himself. thank you for gracing us "woodies" with your presence.

Just some.
November 6th trash talk help to get it started.

yo boots, yea the canteen will be open and no it's not my b-day. they screwed it up on the card......sort of like rolling the credits over me whilst i'm throwing it down on the kings...........sacremento kings that is!

yo bayson jayliss, we're going to get it on 'cause we don't get along.........be sure to pick up some ankle tape (extra strength).

WHO WANT SOME OF THE HURRICANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????

Today six lists of 21 names are used in rotation for Hurricane storms. The names flow in alphabetical order, using female names. The letters q, u, x, y, and z are skipped, because a limited number of short, distinctive first names begin with these letters.

Now I know why hurricanes have girls names.

who the bloody hell is thiisss POOFTA? can't possibly be my man j. bay. i should have known from that first thread. this rubberneck sounds like an ivy-league lacrosse player sipping on frappucinos while scratching his crotch from his first sexual encounter with a "hot apple pie".

mailman, is that you?????

kb, that last post deserve a basketball icon.... made an average monday at work funny.......gold

still laughing.........

(Mod: I don't know. The talk about female hurricanes is just as good!)

KB Calm down Big Fella,

I mean no harm, you the man I am just a pain in the ass,
and like to give anyone a stir
just having fun at work.

No Big Deal.

I apologise to anyone who may be offended

Have a laugh mate your in Australia remember.

and yes the name just made it easier to get a bite.

HAHA funny posts.

Are all welcomed to come down and watch KB? I wouldn't mind doing a Hot/Not list on the events.

You still have your old school Nuggets playing uniform? You could just throw that on when you play and intimidate everyone.

Found this on the net too:




When the hell did you wear number 25?

yo bayson jayliss, i'm not the least bit offended! well actually, i am a little offended that you would think that the da klutchman can give it, but can't take it. that hurricane joint, was funny dude. i had to come back atcha. BRING IT ON BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you lose a game while your playing KB you can't accuse the scorebench at Wayville of cheating this time.

5.2 defense kb? you can never burn me for my bad defense ever again!

p.s i'll be at your pick up games, i'll be in the 'defensive workhorse' team. all our games will be 7-0. no one can score on me

is it school holidays again?

Yeah - why?

doubleclutch, where do get this riff-raff from? accuse the scorebench at Wayville of cheating.......that's cow-cookies. i'm APPALLED.....no DUMBFOUNDED.....no better yet, THUNDERSTRUCK, that you would spread these.........smelly smidgens of fiction about so effortlessly, without a single molecule of evidence!

Hey KB, glad you realised it wasn't me writing all that crap. Good idea putting this all together, should be good for the off season, may have to get back into some sort of shape (besides round) before hitting the court against you!
For now though i'll meet you at the bar after the games for a Black & Mild!

yo p, it's good to hear that someone else besides my main man d.mee knows about the smoothness of the........"B & M's". and before any of you nuff-nuffs out there come up with any non-sense, Black & Milds are american cigars. crossover, it's good to see that you're interested panther. hope you can get a few other panthers to join ya. that's if they ain't KFC, baby cause my game is tighter than paul rees' wallet!

anyone else worried that KB is going to peak too early with his trash-talking?!

What is the deal wih you KB anyway, are you retired from pro ball all together ?.

Ha ha, I like the Rees comment!

KB, I've got plenty of first-hand evidence. The way I remember it, Forestville won the game without any hint of controversy, and I proceeded to walk over and talk to my boy TCP who was doing stats.

At this point you start jumping up and down on the score-table, screaming "Cheaters! Cheaters!". I also remember Paul Rees got so angry he actually opened his wallet (amazing I know) threw a 5 cent coin to the scorer's bench and shouted "Go buy a clue!".

Panther, it's you versus me this week in Fantasy NBL, and I'm on a one game winning streak. Be nervous!

agm it's all fun, BUT, i've never been one of those guys who "peaked too early".....on any level. try bayson jayliss a.k.a. "australian pie". as for you bill walton, what's the big deal with being retired? do you know how much money i've saved the health care system, by retiring the "killa kev krossover"???....golly jeepers batman, the physio's have been trying to get me out of retirement for years.....wait a second, i'm OUT!

sorry dudes, the above thread is...........for thhrrreeeee!

Who's bringin the balls, Brooks? I heard you could bring three in the rolls of your belly - like three moons around the sun!

I can't even bring myself to reply to that fraudulent photo of you in a defensive stance! You must have been falling backwards.

No big deal about being retired I just was not aware that you had retired, sometimes people just half do it and if a decent contract arrives ching ching.

your back in the game.

"KB's summer pickup" - what a strange name. Only thing you've been "pickin' up" lately are happy meals.

Are there treadmills at 'the back of the line'?.

KB you're a legend!

reserves players allowed?

anon, yes some reserves will be allowed to play. it depends not on who you are, but rather, whether or not "you've got game"!

another rule for ya KB, no zone D
straight up man or get off

oh, so its vidmar's pick-up games, being run by kb? or the other way around?

DEFINITELY, no zone defenses dudes. NO match-up zone defenses, NO dale brown (LSU) "freak defenses" and NO john wooden (UCLA) full court zone defenses. not in pick-up/playground/or street ball!!! HOWEVER, you can go into a zone...........the kind that rajnod went into when he came out of retirement (1st) and gave spike lee's beloved knicks a "DOUBLE NICKEL"!!!

as for you sapsquatch, or should i say "teen wolf". oh, didn't you guys know that he was the stunt double for michael j. fox in his movie. damn you had crazy hops!!! what happened, you've still got the hair......but the springs are llooonnnggggg gone. how much did you get paid for that gig anyway, chewbacca???

That's the key, Brooks. I got payeeeeed! Now I got so much bling-bling no-one can see my hair. Pity, really, 'coz it's silky-smooth, just like my skeellz, y'all.

"rolls of my belly", you say. well i must admit, the old six-pack has diminished into a 2 and a half pack.......... but watchout, that added shake, just makes the "shake & bake", a little harder to defend. POWER TO THE PICK-UP!

kevin - can girls play too?

Maybe clarify whether you mean against guys or perhaps have games between womens teams.

i wasn't meaning either, but am curious about both.

If a girl can mix it with the boys (erin phillips type player), will they be welcome.

OR

if it is successful, would you consider expanding it to include a girls only comp? (along the same preface of standard as the original)

If you were interested, you could grab the same idea and do it for girls. Just takes someone with that inclination putting in the time and effort.

yo, tinkerbell and lazy eye, whats up. Like the sound of these sunday meetings your planning coach. Will be back in Adelaide omorrow so will catch up for some serious 8 ball palooza!!!!

Adios.......

hey moisturiser, how does it make you feel that your dad is a better 8 baller than yourself?

tinkerbell and the moisturiser, sounds like the schwargenizer's homeys heinz and frannz from saturday night live......."we're going to..moist...you up!!!" but can you two "hoop" it up is the question?

yea anon (54276) i would consider girls playing. while playing at the fonde center in houston, my former alumni, kim perrot, who played with the championship winning houston comets and cheryl swoopes used to come out and play. the guys didn't have a problem with it 'cause they had game. however, top girls like erin phillips, summerton, etc. are all playing in the wnbl and i'm pretty sure they will not be allowed to play because they're under contract. nevertheless, i would consider doing a pick-up session for the ladies if there are enough high quality participants. the same standards thay apply to the men.

wat about the young guns from 18s and 20s, with state caliber, can they join a team of ABL players from their club as a 5th/6th man as a 'fill in' if u will?

kb - can my cousin's, boyfriends, litte brother play. He's read about basketball once in a magazine.

KB might want to start a "pick up game " league every summer . At this rate he'll have hundreds playing on a Sunday night.

He could charge $5 to players per night and then he and Paul Bell can try and put a down payment on Isaac's ferrari !!

I can just imagine u/18 youngster's talking shite.........

"Stop it....or I will say Stop it again"

If it costs $9 to play Div 1 in summer season maybe we might see a "rival" league formed out of this. $5 is a bargain compared to $9, and it will be a bit more relaxed

nah under 18s/20s can be fair abbusive with their trash talk, u would b surprised

"let me clear my throat", i don't want any players paying to play in the summer pick-up games. yea, i could charge, cover the court costs, and make a nice little profit in the end. NOT!!! i want players to just rock up, pick a team, join a team, get their hoop on. if you just feel like spending money, you can "PIMP OUT MY RIDE"!!! i'm outta here, like a PUJOLS' homerun.

young gunz, that's a reasonable request. i'm certain i'll be able to find out from various nbl/abl players, which of you got game. if i get the "nod" from enough people than you may get a chance to "rumble in the jungle". just remember, nbl/abl players play first and most often.

anon (#54972), your cousins, boyfriends', little brother is more than welcome to participate. we could use a few ball boys/girls. besides, "reading is fundamental", and so are our pick-up games!!!

sick, sounds like fair enough call their KB, sounds like will be interesting to just watch.

18s and 20s should stay at home unless your last name is 'gange'. oh and KB i'm keen on one of these ladies pickup sessions maybe that can be 9-12 after wayville nov 6th at the grand, glenelg

18s and 20s should stay at home unless your last name is 'gange'. oh and KB i'm keen on one of these ladies pickup sessions maybe that can be 9-12 after wayville nov 6th at the grand, glenelg

So where's the place to go for regular pick-up games if you're NOT NBL/ABA caliber? Social comps are generally a rip-off and the quality of play is too variable.

I may not have what it takes to play with the biggest and baddest Adelaide has to offer but it doesn't mean I love playing any less!

I was there untill about 6.30... didn't look like a great turnout at all. I hope KB gets a few more next time

anonymous, if that is your real name, go to flinders uni on saturday lunch timeish, there's about 649 asians that play pick up there

oh, but make sure you have the latest NBA replica jersyes with matching shorts or they might not let you play

So, how did it go? Not much chatter about the opening night?

Hey KB, great to hear that your still in Adelaide, i used to love watching you play with the sixers back in the day but havent heard much about you until now.

So how long do you think you will keep the pickup games going for? are you involved with anything else to do with basktball in SA at the moment?

what rock have you been under

richie, kb coaches woodville and is asst accademy coach + probably various other things.

Where have u been richie?

yo richie rich, what's up? as stated above i'm coaching the "da wood" and the academy. it's been a challenge....one that i continue to look forward to. the players on both squads are both working hard and eager to learn.

WHAT IT IS, ballers? as you are undoubtedly aware of, opening night on the 6th wasn't really an opening. zane reeves and i were the only two there. however, last night was much better. there were four current abl players, another baller and myself. all the players signed waivers, which simply protects the wayville sports center, their affiliates and myself. afterwhich, we hooped it up for the next 90 minutes (the other 30 minutes: kb's oxygen breaks). we played 14 games of 3 on 3 to 7 points (by ones), the last game went to 11. it was good competition, a lot of shaking and a few alley oops for some thundering dunks (none by me). we worked up a pretty good sweat. the players said they're be back next sunday, as will i, and we'll continue to build on our numbers. POWER TO THE PICK-UP!!!

> zane reeves and i were the only two there.

Maybe the entry criteria (ABA/NBL) is too high?

nah, it's not too high, besides you're missing the "some nbl/abl caliber players", that i mentioned after, "former nbl/former & current abl players. PEACE!

When do these games start up again?

right after the upcoming aba season.
