I played Split End (Receiver) and Defensive back when I played HS Football, so I couldn't really be a ball hog. Even if I could, I wouldn't have. I always played for my team and for winning.
In basketball I run point so I am kind of expected to not be a ball hog. Sometimes my teammates don't do very good and I have to start scoring. Oddly enough, they call me a ballhog when I do.
I play lacrosse and hockey. Im a midfielder in lacrosse but im mostly on the defensive side of the ball. I'm not a ballhog, I'm more of a feeder. In hockey I play defense and im more a feeder as well
When I was younger I'd usually always be playing basketball with older guys, so I was unselfish. Now that I am older and usually the best player on the court and if I decide to try hard I could score all our points and win. But I usually don't try too hard(it's only pickup basketball)
I don't hog the ball. I wasn't bad when I played soccer and I was decent at basketball, but I knew that it's hard to win a game when you're doing all the work.
I never ball hog and unless people are REALLY good and they usually aren't, I hate them. Last year I wasn't playing very well and when I played the coach always made me play out of position but one of the few days I was actually playing well in a training (which could've made me get a chance in the starting line up since our right back sucked) everytime I gave the ball to our forward the guy just try to make tricks and stupid stuff even when I was in a great position.
Also 2 years ago I was the official free kick taker in my team but one day a new guy came and just grabbed the ball everytime there was a freekick, it wouldn't have bothered me a lot since he was good and since I was a defender I had to run all across the field to take a freekick (this got harder by the end of the match) but the problem was that he ALWAYS tried to shoot, no matter of where he was, what bothered me even more is that sometimes I ran a lot when I was tired to get to a position where I could make a header but instead of making a cross he made a shot acrros the bar.
Actually the only goal I've scored in a match was because I didn't find anybody I could pass it to, so I made a shot from midfield and made an amazing goal.
I used to be the guy who's like "ooh ooh, pass to me," but, because I was terrible, no one ever would. Now I'm more like "do whatever you like. I'm going to sit over there."
[QUOTE="rawsavon"]Team player. I enjoyed defense and rebounding in basketball. I just harasses their best player all game and left the scoring to my teammatesSolid_Link22
I love defense also. When I play pick up games I always want to guard the best player. It's awesome when their best player had few points :D
I agree. I like when they start getting frustrated/angry ...that is much more satisfying than scoring a basket
Not a ball hog unless absolutely necessary. I prefer to play defense and keep the other team from scoring. It's an amazing feeling when you render another team's offense utterly useless.
