Basketball in San Francisco

The above title is a paradox: people in San Francisco don't play basketball.

Maybe it's because SF has to be the shortest city in America. At UCSF, we have three basketball leagues, Alpha (for the best players), Beta (which has become as good as Alpha with a couple exceptions), and no kidding, the 6' and under league. You are only allowed to play if you are shorter than 73 inches. How ridiculous is this shit? These guys need to learn to play point guard or just give it up and play badminton or something.

Not only is everyone short, but you can never find a game on the outdoor courts in the city. SF has 750,000 people in a tiny area, and only 50 play basketball. If 10 guys are out of town, then you have to pray for 1/4 of the basketball-playing population to show up at one of the 10 courts at the same god-damn time. You have a better chance of Xzibit showing up and taking away your '93 Civic.

What will happen this weekend? Probably the same thing as last; drive around half the city to settle for playing 3-on-3 with guys in their thirties. Fuck me.
