Not really no, but then next to nobody over the age of 18 plays basketball at all, was just joking about the US.

It's rare to see people over, say 24ish, on the courts here either. Not because there's anything childish about the game, just that it's hard on the body, all that leaping and twisting around.

I guess that depends on where you live over here.

Ok, it's not so much the occasion of spotting one is rare, as that 80-90% of the players will be younger.

I spent a good deal of my childhood in California watch my father and his 30-something friends playing pickup games.

And when there were people there that weren't part of your dad's group?

I dunno, Californians may take better care of themselves than people in other parts of the country. But it is a really demanding game and I'm starting to understand why my dad never wanted to play it with me.

Just out of curiosity, are straight softball players better at the game then gay ones?

I think I recall a study saying gaymen, like women, tend to have a worse spatial sense than normal men.

I get lost easily. :unsure:

Yes, but that's because you're stupid.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Weak form, and easy target. But all things considered...
