And I just realised I don't really know a thing about Basketball (I know a few things about fake Basketball from OTH, though) ... so... what do I need to know? ;)
2 teams, 5 players on each team. Free throws are 1 point (from the line after being fouled), regular shots are 2, and shots from super duper far are 3 points. The players are tall. You shouldn't smack people in the face. They play 4 quarters.
A bogus scoring system |

I think I like Basketball now...
my friend's team won (97:63). they also had cuter players and better colours (red & white, so much better than grey and some kind of dark red). And the team belongs to the same club as the football team of my choice, so I kind of had to pick them (even though the other team's name is better - it's "Artland Dragons". Much cooler than "Fc Bayern Basketball".)
I didn't smack anyone in the face. I did, however, knock over a cup of diet coke (-> coat of the girl sitting in front of me -> soaked). |

| Glad you had fun, Lil. Although a little sad about the Dragons! Congrats on not smacking anyone! |

| I like that "they had cuter players" is possibly part of why you now like basketball. |

In general, I don't know! These ones just seem to go across the road. In my head they pack up little suitcases and carry them to the ponds.

I want to bring them a treat. I wonder what they eat. One would assume...small bugs. |
