Be a gentleman on and off the court. The basketball court is slowly becoming a street corner. Don't bring trash to the game. Opponents, after the initial jolt, begin to player harder against a bully. Referees also point for him.
Basketball is a team game.
Do nothing to call attention to yourself. The game is tough enough as it is. You want to be respected, not reviled. Leave the shenanigans to the rank and file. Seek a higher plane.
