I'm a filmmaker and an addicted pickup baller. I'm working on a documentary movie about hardcore pickup bball on a court in upstate New York called The Graveyard.

The film is called Ballin at the Graveyard. We spent two years filming right on the court, in the action. Trash talk, great plays, disputed calls, etc ... nobody's ever done anything like it.

If you love basketball, you'll love this movie.

Check out some sample clips at www.ballinatthegraveyard.com

and if you like em -- pass them on

Peace.

hahahhahahahaaa you don't know what's pickup ball

It's like this:
You choose 2 teams Miami - New Jersey
From Miami you pick:
1.O'Neal
2.D Wade
3.Jason Williams

From New Jersey you pick:
1.Vince
2.Kidd
3.Krstic

So someone gets picked,and then they play...so that's PICKUP ball!

...i don't know how 2 explain better
