15 Things Only Basketball Players Will Understand

6. Running Into A Surprise Screen Sucks

Hard Screen Gif Getting nailed by a brick-wall screen evokes a special cocktail of emotions. Surprise at the out-of-nowhere nature of the hit, self-pity because of your ringing ears, and anger at your teammates for not giving a warning shout. Extra humiliation can occur if your warning comes from the player who can't tell left from right, assuring you that you're moving into fresh air just as you ram your head directly into the chest of the opposition's biggest player. As difficult as it can be, do NOT allow a screen to knock you off your feet. You'll never be allowed to forget it.
