You know you're old when...

I show up at the public park today to play basketball at noon, and one of the 20-something "kids" yells out to me:

"Hey old-school, you want to play with us?"

I wasn't even wearing the 70's tighty-whities or knee-high tube socks with a stripe at the top...

Oh, to be young and on the playground playing ball again... It’s a reoccurring dream I have, getting old sucks!

I played basketball three days a week year round until my son turned 10, then I gave my life to running, starting, coaching & organizing everything about youth sports.

Can't believe it's been 24 years

Stay young Zit, don't quit

Hmmmm....you're too much of a comedian and trash talker more like Billy Hoyle.

bigbet1234 · Mar 7, 2021

The real question is.......did you dunk on them? Lol

I play basketball with my nephews weekly. At 46 I still beat them 9/10 times. Hahaha

They are 14 and 16. We are headed to Chicago Tuesday for a short trip. Our Airbnb has a half court. I’m sure I’ll school them some more.

Take it to the hole fez! Hahaha

It was meant to be bud as your board persona strikes me more like Billy Hoyle than Bird who was a serious personality.

Dude I take it, based on previous posts, that you're in your 50's? And if you're playing full court for 2 HOURS WITH 20 YEAR OLDS,
then you're not old man!! God bless! Most guy's in their 50's can only dream of playing for 2 hours with 20 year olds!

You know you're old when...
