Why are PGs always trying to show off their handles?

Question

I swear man, every single time you go play a pick-up game there is one dude trying to impress everyone with his dribbling skills. The guy will sit at the top of the key for 1-2 minutes dribbling though his legs, around his back and it all leads to the defender stealing the ball from him or him bouncing the ball of his foot. It's becoming an epidemic.

I think the blame goes to the And 1 ballers. They all think they are The Professor or Skip to My Lou. Just pass the d**n ball.

Answer 8

I dont know why most of them do it.

Im a pg but if I cant get a defender by the second move I just pass out or pennatrate or shoot. But I cant understand why everyone on courts these days are obsessed with 'crossing' someone or 'breaking' their ankles. Its just foolish and not how the game was ment to be played. But if it is executed to success and perfection then it is entertaining.
