Love and Basketball

"We call this a 'Brokeback Mountain' game because there's so much penetration and kickout."
- Phil Jackson


After saying that, Phil Jackson was fined by the NBA for making a sexual reference. Shouldn't the radio and TV announcers get fined every night then? Check out these basketball terms that mean something else in life:

behind the back: a no-look pass to a teammate to the back

kickout: drawing the defense in, then passing the ball to an outside shooter.

penetration: working around perimeter defense and cutting into the paint.

serving up a facial: dunking on someone's face.

stuffing it down the throat: same as "facial."
