Is there some strange town somewhere filled with energetic, in-shape, mid-thirties and older white guys playing street ball with their friends (and wearing sunscreen, wtf? so unballa/ungangsta) ??

Not really sure I get your point.
I don't play much basketball but I play a lot of soccer (not so much lately because I'm injured).

Different people I play with range in age from 20-45 I think.
I'm 36.

These are organized rec-leagues as well as all our practices/scrimmages plus some pretty informal pick-up games at different places throughout the week (Wednesday nights at one park, Saturday afternoon at another...just show up and play type of thing).

I used to play pick-up basketball when I was younger. I have kind of given that up since I prefer playing soccer mostly because I'm not terribly good at hoops (only 5'6" afterall).

But when I was 16-25 I remember plenty of pick-up games at the gym or at the park that included older guys up to the age of 45 or so I would guess.

So I'm not quite sure I understand the point of there somehow not being such a thing as a mid-30's guy who plays pick-up hoops.

Cliff notes - Are such individuals really that rare?
