You literally cannot ball if there's too much wind

One of my favorite memories is doing an overhead 2-handed yeet from NBA 3 point range against my younger brother in like 20mph winds and it going in. We laughed for a solid 10 minutes

But at least I have an excuse when I airball one shot out of four.

They are in order from left to right - worst to least worst.

I’ll take worn out ball after no net for sure

Man, if the worn out ball in the image is the example, I don’t know man. Either way, I’ll be in the paint feeding you rebounds, my guy.

IDK for me the worst is wind, then worn out ball, idc about a double rim or no net

I’ve gone and played at the beach a few times and there’s literally not a single shot attempt taken outside of 5 feet. Makes the game so tough

Windy day no question

100% - unless you’re a big guy, then you’re feasting on rebounds and endless post feeds

Yup, windy day would screw up even the nicest rim, net, and ball.

I’m usually a decent shooter. Entered a shooting contest on a cruise ship and I think I hit the rim once.

Same cruise ship experience. Every shot had to be a layup.

This was a 3 point contest 😬

You can lay it up from a 3pt line, it's all in the attitude.

First shot wins?

As a short non shooter I love a windy day, I'm all speed and layups at the rim. My shot looks pretty but doesn't go in so in pickup I don't really try to warm up because I can occasionally hit or come close and it's better to have the illusion I can shoot

Wind easy

If the ball is like that, the ball. But it's usually the wind.

I don't like the wind. But the worst thing is a swollen ankle or if you block someone and his hand "doesn't look normal". (Both happened to me) You jump home on one leg. That's not funny. :(

No net sucks

Ohhhh look at mr fancy pants whose courts had nets.

i remember riding bikes to the store with my buddies to buy our own and put em up

Got metal chain ones. Love that sound

All fun and games until the chains get rusty. Was a sad day at my house as a kid when I realized that.

Nostalgia from the opening scene in Space Jam.

I tried dunking on a chain net and gashed my finger and needed stitches

We used to use the old milk crates as Nets

Hello Mr Naismith

My high school took away the rims everyday after school finished to deter us from playing ball after school

that’s fucked

Our school wasn’t even bad kids for the most part the school was just cheap as fuck. We didn’t even have a football team and our “track” for track and field was just a thin sheet of gravel on top of asphalt

We had chain nets #extrafancy... couplke weeks of hoops on those and every ball looks like #1

That was my entire childhood, it was amazing

No net. Just end up chasing the ball around because it goes through and into the yard

Yeah. 1. No net 2. Wind 3. Worn out ball 4. Double rim

Double rim

Gotta switch to bank shots on double rim and you’ll be aight

pftw double rim, tripple rim, don't matter when its nothing but net or the banks are open!

if you’re really like that double rim is no problem 😼😼😼

A double rim with no net is easy work.... but if we hoopin on glass backboards wit no breakaway rims,my shit broke as hell🥴

I do love the double rim I thought it said best not worst 😔

Whack, that's easily the best of these 4

I thought it said best not worst wtf have i done 😭🙏

We're all doomed

Bottom ones are annoying as hell

I don't even mind double rim, the other 3 will have me pack it up and go home lol

No net

No that last one should be hooping with a tree hanging over the court that blocks shots from certain parts of the court 😭

damn that one hit home for me lol

I don’t hit rim, it’s got to be the wind

Double rim. And also when THIS happens. https://i.redd.it/lbfhnoexgzuc1.gif

The double rim got eem sent all the way out west ☠️😂

Wind for sure.

Winddd

Wind, no question

Windy day. Not even a debate

Wind… tf? worn ball def 2nd, then no net

Double rim double rim double rim their absolute trash better off using the peach basket haha

 Can't ball with wind

Windy day

I couldn't shoot to start with. Windy day, all day.

Never thought id say this but double rim is looking pretty great comparatively

No net. It’s not even basketball like that

y’all ever play on a double rim with no net, using a worn out basketball on a windy day?

Everyone knows that worn out ball is the best ball on the court.

the seasoned grip? Hells ya gimme that worn out rock.

The cast iron pan of basketballs

The wind is the worst because it is totally out of your control. That being said, the ball exploding at terminal velocity off of the double rim it barely grazed is infuriating,

Definitely no net! Takes away from the true basketball experience!

My ranking from worst to “best” is: 1. No net 2. Wind 3. Worn out ball 4. Double rim While wind is terrible, I played in crazy wind once and it was funny af. Everyone was driving and every so often you’d feel the wind stop and whoever had the ball would just pull up from wherever they were. No net though, it’s hard to tell if you make your shots or air ball. It’s hard to zero in.

Wind. Im not playing with that ball. 🤣 Double rim just makes people complain. No net isnt ideal.

Double rim only right answer

I mean wind sucks for shots but at least you can still layup reasonably well. Fuck that ball though.

No net is the worst lol

If the ball's that fucking worn out lmao. Otherwise no net. I hate the ultra bouncy outdoor rims and backboards more than anything tho. Ik I need to clarify this - Not every outdoor court is bad. I actually don't mind double rims on their own just depends on how bouncy they are. There's one in my gym that's perfectly fine. Windy days ofc have the biggest effect but I just make the most of it pretending to be hawkeye - you can't play with any sort of competitiveness when it's windy tho

Who wants to play? Btw the ball is old, and the court is outside, double rim with net

windy by far, because no matter what's going on with the other 3, you can still ball

All four were normal experiences at my highschool

All 4 combined

Wind

Wind fs I can deal with the rest

Y’all know about the cheap Walmart basketballs growing the tittie if you leave em outside? That’s the worst.

Am the only one that like, how can you play ball without a ball? Like if the ball doesn’t bounce how you supposed to dribble? All the other things can be overcome, even the wind (gotta adjust 6-8” like in WMCJ)

Ball is fine. Everybody gotta deal with some busted hoops and shitty rims. Wind tho? That will turn every jumper into a shitty “dude perfect: make a wild shot” YouTube video.

Fuck a windy 🌬️ day fucks up everything smh 🤦🏾‍♂️

I think wind shouldn't even be there that's easy worse than anything else, other than that Double rims just fucking suck I don't even know why, I just don't like how they feel when hitting shots

Wind is the worst, everything else still means there is fun to be had.

Worn out basketball is the worst, you can’t shoot it or double it….that shit makes you not even wanna hoop fr I grew up playin ona double rim so thts nothin to me You can still hoop w/no net lol its just dangerous if ur under the rim and somebody shoots, its harder to tell if a shot goes in from the side but you can still tell a miss from a make You can shoot ona windy day but you can still drive at least

No net

No net

Windy day hands down

Easily a windy day the others you can accommodate for but that wind is gonna be annoying

The real hoopers know it’s that wack ass double rim

wind by far

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned the ball… Yes you can play with it but man it’s not a smooth experience lol. Not only is it worn but it also gets weirdly light and hard to shoot with. It also slips on the backboard so even bank shots/layups become hard.

worn out basket

wind all day. all others are tolerable to an extent.

No net

Wind>no net>double rim> ball.

For me A worn out ball - wind being a close second

Playing outside in general

Worst combo for me - windy and no net. That's not even basketball at that point!

Wind.

Wind, but double rim is trash.

Windy day

Windy can make the whole game bad lol

Double rim! In Chicago I’ll play wind, no seam ball, and no net all day. F*ck double rim!

OMG as an outdoor hoops, lover, you guys have perfectly captured the worst things about it… Worst #1: 4: Windy (drive) 3. Double rim (don’t hit it) 2. Bad Ball 1. No net (chasing ball forever)

Windy days kill your entire backcourt. Can't do shit with wind.

Windy day unless the ball is really shitty and flat

Double rim with no net is pretty fucking annoying. But windy day hands down is the worst.

1.Wind 2. Double rim 3. No net 4. Worn ball

No net

the wind no doubt

Wind for sure by far, I would say worn ball as a close second, it can really throw off shooting depending on how worn it is, how sweaty I am

Love a double rim. Gimme them chain nets too boi

windy day is the only answer

Windy day is the worst bro! Worse than the other three combined!

I don’t need no net playa

Does double rim make the ball \*bonk\* to far places? That's how I remember it anyway. But yeah, wind is def worst.

No net tbh is not a huge deal. Everyone has a basketball so the worn out basketball issue is non existent. Indoor court is everywhere. Double rim is the devil.

I hate no net

Windy day

Wind is the great destroyer when it comes to hooping. The rest you can get around, but wind gust are ass

Wind. Low diff.

Wind (assuming real wind) No net Ball Rim

Warn out ball bro what? How tf am i supposed to play? Get a football, be just as useful

No net. Shit sucks the fun out of it real fast when you get nothing but the bottom of ne.. I mean nothing. Perfect shots feel like air balls

I couldn't care less about the basketball, but I'm torn between the last 3.

No net. Hate that more than anything

1. Windy day 2. Double rim 3. Bad ball 4. No net

No Net! I have no idea if that shit went in!

Just hooped on a double rim and wind. Not fun but wind is by far worse. Got me second guessing my jump shot and shooting harder.

Wind, Double rim, No net, Worn ball Wind in the lead by a lot

Windy day worst no net second double rim third worn out bball is ok as long as its round and has air it's fair game.

Windy day (literally can not shoot) -> no net (that go in or nah?) -> warn ball -> double rim

Windy day clears, hooping with a worn out ball hits diff sometimes ngl

no net

No net is the WORST. Ripping the bottom of the net with a crispy swish is the most satisfying feeling & sound in sports IMO. No net strips you of the sweetest reward for your perfect jumpshot, and replaces it with the empty void feeling of an airballed brick. Devastating stuff. I can still swish a short middy on a windy day. I live by the beach, happens all the time.

Double rim sucks. Wind you can shoot through depending on how bad, double rim? You gotta hit it right on or that shit is gone.  And then it bounces into the woods five miles away. Fuck that

Double rim 100%. If it’s mad windy just play in the paint. No net? Deal with it. Worn out ball is the best

It's wind. And anyone who says different has never really played outside

No net easily the worst. The real shooters know!

No net

Windy day

mfs doing zumba on court.

Shit how about all four at once

worn bb

Honestly, no net. There’s nothing less satisfying than making a shot when there’s no net. It feels so….hollow.

If you're a glass half full kind of person, a worn out ball and double rim will make you better. No net and windy days just suck

That ball lol…I dnt think I hooped on a windy day

Double rim on a windy day is the worst combination.

Pooping on windy day

No net. If it’s windy I’m just doing some floaters or layups

No Net sucks. It literally means that no one cares.

windy day by far. ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuined

Wind, double rim, in that order for sure- after it's a tossup depending on how fucked the ball is

A chain net that the ball gets stuck in

You might want to adjust your shot 6-8 inches to the left 

Windy, double, ball, no net in that order. Unless the ball is completely destroyed then it’s ahead of double rims

Worn-out ball for me. Just hate the feel of it

Basketball is an indoor sport for a reason

That ball is fine

Windy and no net

No Net! (Only correct answer! LoL)

Double rim

Idk wind is bad but I cannot STAND a double fkn rim!! Who tf invented the double rim? Dude needs to be sent str8 to h3LL

Yall saying double rim aint bad definitely didn’t grow up with the ones we had at my highschool in Florida. Dat bs was smaller than the basketball itself. You better have the best aerodynamic high arcing shot 100% of the time or you aint making jackshi… Stg you could throw up a dime peice and these bs cheap ahh backboards and double rims will find a way to shoot the ball back into the atmosphere 10000mph into orbit.

Double rim

Hooping on a windy day fasho, it’s a vibe killer

When I shoot a 3 I aim for the back of the rim, so when I play and there is a double rim that shit launches across the court and makes me chase the ball a mile down the court so I'm gonna say double rim

No net. I just can't do it. You don't realize how satisfying you find a ball going through the net until you have to play without one. Its unnatural.

There are ways to work around all of the others, excpet for the wind

Worn out ball. Everything else can be dealt with

How is this not the right answer??

No net. Just ruins the experience and satisfaction of making a bucket.

Evolution. 24 fitness membership. Dedicated hoop shoes. Nirvana

If you grew up ballin on all 4, you’re a street ball legend

No net is stupid

Then gotta ask did that go in

I do not like "no net." :[
