Were you picked first or last for the sports team?

[areinitz]

Sometimes I was captain, sometimes I was picked first, and sometimes last. It all mattered on what I was playing and who I was playing with.

Was usually picked near the top in baseball and football (speed ftw), usually in the bottom half in basketball because I was really small (but had decent skills).

i grew early, was picked first in everything. oh the glory days...

[Dids]

Last.

Obv.

Although I learned early on that being a decent free throw shooter helped you not get picked last in basketball, because then you could be the one doing the picking. I seem to have lost that ability after years of neglect however.

I was typically picked in the 1st tier. Super brag: I was picked as Gym Class Hero, which basically meant I got a certificate for being the best in my gym class.

For some reason, I used to be really athletic in high school and gradually got worse at sports. Now, I'm just kind of average at most sports.

I was almost always the captain, don't know why. Guess the gym teachers loved me.
I was usually picked among the first, I don't think I was ever picked first though. Good enough to get picked first, not popular enough to get picked first.

Same here.

See, this is why I'm surprised that they still do it. So often it turns into a popularity contest with all the "cool" kids being picked first. I was the opposite of a cool kid in junior school.

Anyone consistently play with guys who do the first five to make a free throw on the same team thing? Retarded if the goal is a good game. Yeah, variance, doesn't measure defense or ball handling, etc. Still retarded.

I always got picked near last, except for ultimate frisbee(which I was by far the best player in the class at during high school)

[pokerbobo]

Always in top tier...any sport. I was superjock.
