About this listen

What are the real rules of pickup basketball? In this hilarious episode of All-In, Clayton, John Michael, and Jose break down the unwritten laws every guy follows on the blacktop — from calling your own fouls to why “ones and twos” is the only acceptable scoring format.

The guys roast the most iconic pickup archetypes (yes, including “AirPods Guy” and the backwards hat dude who thinks he's Kyrie), share outrageous blacktop stories, and deliver the definitive list of what actually counts as good basketball etiquette.

In This Episode You’ll Hear:

  • 🏀 The official rules of pickup basketball (and the fouls you should NEVER call)

  • 🎧 The most accurate player stereotypes — AirPods Guy, Backwards Hat Guy, and “Mr. 401k”

  • 😂 Wild pickup stories: unbeatable streaks, chest-shaving incidents, and men taking rec ball way too seriously

  • 💪 Why pickup basketball brings out real competitiveness, discipline, and masculinity

  • 🔥 The biggest etiquette debates: ones vs. twos, checking up, calling travels, and more

If you’ve ever hooped at a park, gym, or church league, you’ll laugh your head off — and definitely recognize these people.
