Guard the Guy in the Bird Jersey

You should try to avoid stereotypes.

But they are stereotypes for a reason, right?

Case in point:

You are a young trash talking teenager playing at the local Rec Center for the first time with your boys on a Sunday afternoon.

You are playing against four tall, highly athletic players and one 5'11 (and a half!) middle-aged white guy wearing a replica Indiana State powder blue Larry Bird jersey. All five of these guys are talking like they have played with each other a lot over the years. It looks odd, the the short, aging white guy looks comfy on the court with them.

Now, using this as a quick backdrop -- what is the ONE skill you think said middle-aged white guy has on a basketball court?

Dunking? Quickness to beat you off the dribble?

Or SHOOTING THE BALL.

I think a key to solving this puzzle is when the other players do nothing but set high screens for the old white dude, trying to free his slow ass from defenders because he wears two think ankle braces so he needs help getting open.

But if he's open -- do you think it would be a good idea to let him shoot uncontested?

I love playing against new kids.
