The Importance of Respect in Basketball

In the right context, ribbing people while you compete can be the tone of a sport. It would be so weird for me to play basketball with people and be like, gentlemen,. Then shall we put on our trousers? Great. Splendid. Who shall go first? Heads or tails? Excellent. I shall go second, then your ball. Bounce, bounce, bounce. I shall defend you. Go in a fine shot. No, you just, I don't know. It's a mean physical game that involves getting right in people's business. It's very assertive. It's off-putting to some people."
