fav basketball jargon....

1) He's got the bucket.
2) He's no good at the low post
3) Swish
4) Nothing but net
5) alleyoop pass

Why i like them...they're a little silly :)

1)..no he doesnt, the only person who is likely to have a bucket is the janitor who sweeps the floor
2)..He would be fantastic at the low post..his problem is the post and the hoop attached to it is too high
3)..How can you compare a basketball to a pair of curtains or a windscreen wiper?
4)..That's not right though is it? The result is either +2points or +3points. If it was 'nothing but net' it would mean you had to hit the rim to score!
5)..Where did that come from..I see no Alleys, and throwing a ball long for your team mate to execute a flying dunk seems to deserve more that a word which ends..'oop'.

French allez-oop, cry of circus acrobat about to leap, from allez, pl. imperative of aller, to go, from Old French aler, to walk. Thus, in basketball, alley oop is: a play in which a pass is lobbed above the basket and a player jumps up and attempts to catch the ball and score before returning to the floor.

i was under the impression it came from Y.A Title throwing it up to Jimmy Johnson in the 50's. Thats the earlierest ive ever heard the term Alley-oop. I saw it on a segment of NFL Films a few years ago.
