Macomb Daily - Police are seeking tips after they say two overweight older teens threatened two boys with a gun when they beat the older players during a pickup basketball game at a Ferndale park. The younger players, 7 and 13, told police the older teens weigh about 300 pounds each and they beat them in a game which ended about 5:20 p.m. Monday when an argument broke out. Police said the younger boys were walking along the street near Harding Park when the assailants pulled up in a light blue car, possibly a 2003 Mercury Gran Marquis. “The passenger held out a black and silver handgun and said, ‘What do you think now?’ ” Wilson said. “The vehicle then took off on Wolcott and turned on Woodward Heights.” The boys, both Ferndale residents, called police from a cell phone after the car drove off. The assailants are described as black, about 18 years old, with each about 6 feet tall and 300 pounds. Both had very short dark hair.
No one to blame but themselves. Rule number 1 of playground hoops, never, and I mean never pick a game with kids who look like they can beat you. I was undefeated during my youth years following that basic principal.
Couple of baller looking dudes, or worse brothers come down and ask if you want to run 2’s? Nah, we’re just shooting around. Couple of squares with golf tans on their arms, game on bitch. That’s how you become a local hoop legend.
Didn’t hurt that I ran most of my game on younger players later in my years…wasn’t my fault, that’s the only competition my neighborhood presented. I was the only 4’10 8th grader manning the low post in history, backing down 4th and 5th graders like a mini Shaqtus.
Which is why I’m puzzled as to what went on here. Were these child prodigy’s? Sounds to me like these two heffers were straight landmonsters. 300 lbs teenagers? Get a clue guys hold the ball high up in the air, have your bro saunter his fat ass to the post and throw it in. This shit is chess it aint checkers.
