Boxers or kick boxers like Muai Tai; those guys are fit.\n\nTo answer your question.. Think ballers are in better shape since "game time" is longer. Think about it, they don't stop the game every few seconds like in football.

Others have answered (correctly) what it would mean is a medical situation regarding male physiology and development.  Please don't take this as an idiot reply, but it is a saying that refers to a males manhood, masculinity or confronting conflict or aggression.  Having "balls" is the slang way of you're a man and will stand up or defend what you or your friend believes in when challenged by another man.  It also means that if someone says that to you they don't have any respect for you since you won't stand up for yourself or beliefs.  Example....if a bully or jerk pushes you around, makes offensive remarks about your wife and children or "steals your lunch money" and you back down and just walk away without doing anything in response; your friend or anyone nearby might say, "Your balls haven't dropped yet".  Bottom line your friend is calling you a wimp, a candy-ass or a coward.  Not exactly a boost for your ego.  And the word will get around depending on the incident.  Sorry for the long answer, but I wanted to make it clear that no man (or their family or friends) wants to be told that.

It most likely refers to a player changing his game to play better on a different surface. For example, a clay-courter who wants to win Wimbledon would want to work on improving his volley. A grass-courter looking to win the French open would look to improve his fitness and the consistency of his groundstrokes.

i believe a pick up game refers to people sort of randomly gathering to play a game of basketball.  Somewhat of an unorganized meeting of people who may or may not know one another well.  Just some folks getting together and finding enough friends &#92; stragglers to put together a good fun game.\nArguements? possibly over the game, some stupid whiny losers

A quick summary, tip-off, warning. \n\n"Did you know that ... they want three of us to work late this Saturday?"\n\nsort of thing. \n\n"Watch out, that price is for flight-only, not accommodation."  \n\nI think it comes from sport - asking players to look up before the ball hits them.

Regarde ma première photo, c'est moi au monument national de sable blanc.\n\nThe rest is ok, although you should say "ballon de basket" instead of basketball if you're talking about the ball. Basketball refers only to the sport itself.

Boxing out - To place your body between the hoop and an opponent to facilitate rebounding.\n\nPick and roll - To stand still while a team mate "scrapes" his defender by leading him into you, then you move toward the hoop anticipating a pass from your team mate.\n\nhere are some more:\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3014786\nhttp://library.thinkquest.org/CR0215404/basterms.htm\nhttp://www.firstbasesports.com/basketball_glossary.html

the good ones are thos who excel at something: i.e. dunks, handles, defense; but the really great ones are the multi-faceted streetball players: so make sure you can get to the hole whenever you want (speed) to and finish strong (power), at the same time have a decent jumper (stroke), and a decent one-on-one defense (lateral movement), to be really great.\nby the way, what position do you play anyway? if you play a guard, make sure you get the crowd in whatever signature move you do (make sure you have one), if you play center/pf make sure you have this intimidating aura to make players think twice about driving in the lane to you

It's short for "dropping a dime", which is a term that originally meant making a telephone call from a payphone (which used to cost a dime).  I assume the origin of the term is that both an assist and a phone call involve making a connection between two physically-separated people.\n\nPlus it just sounds cooler than "assist".  Kinda like how "boards" sounds better than "rebounds".

It means I play basketball

I believe it is now classified as a contact sport.\n\n"basketball has been classified as both a contact sport (Huang et al., 1999) and a no contact sport (Zillmann et al, 1974). Although the degree of contact in basketball is somewhat less than in football or rugby because players cannot deliberately hit to bring each other down, physical clashes are frequent, and athletes must be strong enough to deal with it."

I'm not 100% certain, but every time I hear it I want to punch the person who said it in the face and/or run them over with my car (or a larger car).  \n\nIt's usual colloquial usage is when someone does something very rude, cruel, or generally nasty and wants to follow it up with an insincere apology thus cementing their total lack of tact.\n\nHypothetical situation:\nTwelve year old Jenny hits a volleyball lightly over the net at a family party.  Uncle Chad, who's had a few Budweisers already, leaps up and spikes the ball as hard as possible into her face.\n"My bad!"

Bottom of the barrell. Lowest of the low. Reference to a fish that lives on the bottom of the water who eats the waste of other fish. Necessary in nature, but an insult. (A pretty lame insult so whoever called you a scumsucker is probably not worth worrying about)
