Know When You're Old....

That's funny EJ. We play BB weekly with a group of pickups. Usually about 4-5 games to 15 or 3 to 21. Full court. We've all been playing together for around 8 years. Guys come and go, but we have a solid core of 6-8. We range in age from 30 to 50. Everyone is in semi-decent shape. I'm quickly approaching 44. Some times a HS kid or two of one of the guys comes out (he may bring a buddy or two) when they're on break and those buggers can cook it. Like you said, they can run and jump like they're on the moon. Us old guys have patience and smarts and that often goes a long ways. They usually get gassed in the first couple of games and the old guys start pouncing them. We also split up ages to make it more competitive, but we have beaten those youngsters (old vs young) on occasion. My ankles and legs hurt more than anything else on my body and I know one day I'll have to give it up, but until then, let her roll!
