Playing pickup games at the playground(s) is one of the HUGE things I had to adjust to about getting old.  I haven't been able to play in a good 25 years.  Used to run with the boys at Alverthorpe Park and Roychester Park (outside of Philly).  Always lots of college players hanging around.  I was one of maybe the 20% of white boys that played (but still always got picked early  ).  Loved playing at the playgrounds because I could always play with a bit of a flair that the coaches would never let me do in high school or college. I used to play easily three or four nights a week until my mid-30's.  Ahhhh...the good ole days.  Makes me puke thinking about how long ago that was.  Hell, come to think of it, I'd probably puke if I tried to run the courts the way I used to.   :yes:
