Pickup basketball incident....
My friends and I were playing basketball today at a public court in the area. I am a student and live in Montreal so this is the first day I have had a chance to play ball outside, as university just finished. Now keep in mind 2 out of the 6 kids with us don’t really play basketball often and they are kinda terrible.
Halfway through the second game a kid comes up to us and asked if his team can have next game. As I was about to accept the challenge I looked around and saw that all 3 other hoops were empty so I said sorry man but we just want to play each other right now. The look he gave me was like a dear in the head lights, he could not believe what I just said. The following conversation goes like this. Him “Wtf man haven’t you ever played street ball! This is a public court” Me “yeah dude but we brought 6 kids for 3 on 3 and there are plenty of free hoops” Him (looking at his friends) “this kid wont let us play what an a**hole!” Me “Look , if the place was packed I would say sure but, I didn’t come here to not play and neither did my friend!” Him “this kid is ……( I didn’t hear) sucking everyones D**K!” Me “ I don’t need to explain myself to you dude, NO!” Him “whatever man f**k you” We keep playing… he talks on his cell phone and then leaves. Is it my obligation to accept every challenge even when other hoops are free? I kinda felt bad that this kid didn’t have anyone to play with but is not having friends my fault? OOT am I way off here? He was just so surprised it made me feel like maybe I was wrong. |
