[Help] What do you hate about your teammates?

I can think of many examples.

  • I dont really mind balls hog, cause they get to sit on the bench. But if they get away with it. Its not really the players fault, its the coach. (I assume coach count as a teammate)

  • being scared, this one team mate for a season. My forward got kneed in the head, so we were down by like 1/ or up by 1.(cannot remember) He got subbed in, he doesnt play that often. VERY streaky shooter. But a shooter regardless and ~ on defense. I can see his legs shaking when he got subbed in and was on the court. I had to scream at him to ask him to wake up.

  • I dont play defend for you to play iso. This happens A LOT especially bench players. They are trying very hard to proof something and to be a starter. I get it, you are skilled. But you gotta play the game the right way.

  • If I would die for the team or for a loose ball. I expect nothing less from every other team mate on the court or bench.

  • I GET INJURED A LOT, just the way I play. I have fractured my left pinky more than a dozen time. If I can still play and play harder than you when my pinky is literally swelling bigger than my thumb, i expect you to break your pinky as well and play harder than me. (not really)

  • If I asked you to do something, do it. Dont even question it. I have no interest in explaining how to play basketball. You would get it as soon as you do it. If you dont do it, just sit on the bench.

  • dont scream at me, I see you. I just dont want to pass to you.

  • deadweights. not defending or missing open shot wayyy too many times. I would do things my self if you cant do anything for me.

  • I am short but I can block you/outplay you. What does that mean? You doing something wrong, so fix it. I can help you to fix them, but only if you want to listen to my suggestions.
