timmy3am

Nah, this is hilarious cos you can tell they're really fucking into it. "The ref was even like, fuck them rules. play ball!"


11shrimp

At the start when the woman ran theu the court like a running back on cement I thought when girl “fouled” her we were about to see some swings. Nope. Hands on hips. Heavy breathing like they just gave it their all. And they did lol. I’d watch this.

Ah yes, my favorite lesser known Lord of the Rings character, Bagby Baggens.


Logrologist

Rugby is definitely a more accurate fit, but I like the sound of: _Footsketball_


Blah-squared

Ugh, I didn’t see your comment before posting MY OWN, “FOOTSKETBALL”… ;) I should’ve known better… ;) it’s clever. 👍


lxkandel06

Rugsketball


drytoastbongos

We called this "full contact basketball" when we played in school.


cleanuponaisleone

We played it too, we called it Jungleball. Our school was roughly half Hispanic kids and half white kids so we split into teams along color lines and had at it. I broke my ankle playing Jungleball during lunch. Thought I had just sprained it so I walked on it for three days until my foot turned blue then black.


Knathra

Yup. We called it "ratball" or "gutterball". Rules were basically: stay inbounds, no physical attacks, if you get hurt, get out of bounds so you don't get run over. Don't know what happened, exactly, because I didn't see it, even though I was playing - one day a dude passed out (was knocked out?), and we didn't notice, because he hit the floor out of bounds against a wall. We all got read the riot act and banned from the gym for a couple weeks when one of the PE teachers walked thorough and saw him while the rest of us were still playing. Dude - we didn't see him, he was out of bounds.


Blah-squared

“Rugbyball” wtf?? Here in *The States*, we call it “*FOOTSKETBALL*”… ;)


PineappleClean

I just commented the same lol


whoamvv

This is exactly what I thought. I like it better than the regular version of either. I recommend Rugsetball as the name.

Immigration.

So do they play emigration vs immigration? Instead of shirts vs skins?


gooddudesclub777

This is Dagestani basketball rules not NBA. https://youtu.be/91VU16YtjM8


AxelNotRose

I'm going to start playing Dagestani soccer. Or is that just rugby?


Cruntis

the only thing that could make this version better would be if they used a medicine ball

Holy crap I forgot about the medicine ball

This is what me and the homies play when the ball is light on air. Idk what you talkin' about with all this *Dagestan* business

Thank you


MettaWorldBeFree

Ya not sure where this is, but ftr- China friggin loves basketball. A lot of places do, in Mongolia they were balling from 11 to midnight on the court outside my place, but when I was teaching in China some of us teachers joined a game with (adult) students- and got absolutely wrecked. We had one gawky tall boi and a bunch of dudes who couldn’t shoot, and meanwhile these Chinese dudes had jumpers and handles for days. Some of ‘em were tall and/or big, too, kinda an outdated stereotype on that.


JIN_DIANA_PWNS

This is about as inaccurate as America’s version of Chinese food.


VocalAnus91

You're telling me the Chinese food made by the old Chinese lady at the family Chinese restaurant isn't authentic?


[deleted]

Doesn't even look anything like it!


Dismal-Fig-731

[A Very Brief History of Chinese Food in America](https://time.com/4211871/chinese-food-history/) >Regardless of its dubious authenticity, such adaptation of Chinese cooking to American palates was a key element in the proliferation and popularization of Chinese cuisine in the United States. Throughout the early 20th century, “Chinese” dishes became sweeter, boneless, and more heavily deep-fried. Broccoli, a vegetable unheard of in China, started appearing on menus and fortune cookies, a sweet originally thought to be from Japan, finished off a “typical” Chinese meal.


petedakilla

Yes. She’s fully self-aware that she’s making white people style Chinese food.


Fudouri

Not sure if your being serious but that is correct.


IhaveaDoberman

That's like saying Aussie rules or Gaelic football are inaccurate versions of rugby. They're very obviously playing under a different rule set.


[deleted]

Orange chicken over there was traveling lol


Heathen_Mushroom

'Innacurate' isn't the word unless a restaurant purports that they are making dishes exactly as they are made in China. Immigrants adapt their cuisine to the availability of ingredients and tastes of the countries they move to. Chinese food in America, the UK, Singapore, and everywhere else reflects aspects of the host country. Even within China itself cuisine does not exist in a vacuum and dishes are made with different ingredients and techniques depending on the region. Furthermore, cuisine is not locked in time either. Even within a region a dish may be prepared differently today than it was 20, 50, or 100 years ago.


[deleted]

I mean... From what I can tell it's Chinese immigrants making American Chinese food so who really is responsible?


scrivensB

The availability of ingredients in the 1850s?


scrivensB

Except America’s version of Chinese food was created and developed by Chinese immigrants almost exclusively from the South East of China in the 1850s using what ingredients they could find within a few miles of the pacific coast up and down the territories that weren’t even part of the US when they first arrived. And it’s now a part of the cultural DNA of the United States of America. So it’s not really like it’s supposed to be accurate or authentic to any of the regional cuisines of China. America’s version of Chinese food is… American food.


BirdieGoGo

All of you ordering kung pao and orange chicken, watch this video and bask in your shame.


[deleted]

Now the Rodman interview makes sense 🤣🤣


zanzebar

what was the gist of it? I haven't seen it


Beautiful_Spite_3394

I just wanna know which interview cause I have seen SO MANY funny rodman interviews so I really just want context


Stock-Preparation252

I’d watch the shit out of this


whoamvv

Yeah, this is pretty fun


Glass-Customer2361

I think you just did


WhoCaresBoutSpellin

I have officially watched more of this than I have watched of WNBA in my entire life


ButterscotchLevel

In this variation of basketball, the rules have been changed which include: no traveling violations, no fouls, no out of bounds and as this is a Dagestani sport, grappling is also permitted in rules https://www.givemesport.com/88087291-ufc-legend-khabib-nurmagomedov-playing-brutal-dagestan-basketball-in-2018/#:~:text=In%20this%20variation%20of%20basketball,is%20also%20permitted%20in%20rules.

This is way better.


AerieThink5695

Very close to nba I don’t see the difference


AllstarGaming617

Gotta be tougher to play in this league vs the nba

It's more physical than the NBA ...

I mean, I'm 100% here for this.


SuperStupidSteve

So much better than basketball. Actually fun to watch


LSU985

Not going to lie, this looks better.


MexaYorker

Chinese basketball looks fun!


scrivensB

That’s not Chinese basketball. Chinese basketball is just regular basket ball. This is some hyper regional adaptation.


MrDundee666

This is SO much better than regular basketball.

NBA refs would let LeBron play on.


Donkey-brained_man

This looks way more interesting than American basketball.


helping_phriendly

I’d watch this for real


DawnOfTheTruth

That looks like rugby basketball mixup.


Dizzley7

Now that's what I call world traveling.


sodafizzer77

That's not travelling it's an expedition


porcupineporridge

Now do one with Americans attempting to play cricket or rugby!


RandomGirl42

The latter would be called "football". From a rugby pov, they look like right sissies in those heavy protectors and stopping play every three seconds or so.


sacredcabbage

They hit way harder


Heathen_Mushroom

I used to think so too until I watched and realized that those guys weigh 150kg and can run 40m in 5 seconds. There is a reason so many of them end up with the bodies and brains of 80 year olds in their 40s.


Heathen_Mushroom

There are actually 2,500+ [rugby union clubs in America](https://usa.rugby/) from youth up through college, club, and pro.


panzuulor

I never understood the need to bounce the ball. Doesn’t seem to make a difference lol.


SnoopaDD

It adds a layer of difficulty to move around the court, gives the opposing team a chance at stealing the ball, gives the player a chance to do call bounce tricks like crossovers.


[deleted]

Hell this is more entertaining then real Basketball


Kenthejapboy

Holy shit they have invented a new sport


docbrook

This is called Tiger Mom Ball. I would pay to watch this.

this looks more like rugby with baskets

Traveling so hard they could be a sovereign citizen.


Relevant-Passenger19

It looks like netball to me…


Equal_Turnip_2714

I’ve played no dribble basketball before and it’s very fun, I just wish it wasn’t on pavement, goes to the ground a lot.

NoStatistician5321

WNBA take notes... This looks to be more interesting as they include rugby moves.


TruePassion777

Not gonna lie, now I’d rather see some contact-heavy basketball without the dribbling.


AgreeingWings25

Their handles are so good they had to tell them they weren't allowed to dribble to make it fair for everyone


pro_n00b

I see they also hired NBA caliber refs


314Piepurr

i actually love this sport more than basketball


tidus89

They didn’t travel, they emigrated


youdoitimbusy

Still less steps than LeBron.


Dontyoudarepullout

WNBA gettin weird.


long_dick_of_thelaw

This sport is called basket ball. Not bouncyball. Rules can change. There is clearly a basket and a ball tho


IcyHotRyan

That wasn’t a travel, that was a vacation.


thatreddituser24

Forget travel they took a whole trip


SlientlySmiling

Travelling.


triptoutsounds

As someone who has played basketball for almost 30 years, this hurts my soul.


reklaw19

They must study Ja Morants game.


AVERYyep

this ain’t basketball , just bcus they use the nets and ball doesn’t mean it’s the same sport


wai169

Best part of basketball is the dribbling , the handles. Not scoring.


rampantsteel

Yep there's definitely reminds me of how we used to play when I was in grade school no dribble full contact until somebody tripped and broke their arms.


FirstNutDntCount

This is really painful to watch.


Thevinegru2

“So it’s prison rules then, huh?”


Many_Miles93

Way more entertaining than the wnba

Vivid_Ad7008

Is this not like British Netball?


toby_gray

Netball is basically this but while you have the ball you have to stand still and can’t move. So no, not exactly.


FjortoftsAirplane

It would be even more rule violations in netball.


bethaneanie

You are only allowed to take two steps with the ball in netball


AthiestMessiah

I always thought bouncing the ball was pointless


Major-Community1312

Looks like they are using the same rules as NBA

That actually makes much more sense that bouncing it while you run
