Im two weeks away from arriving in Korea and was wondering if there are some good basketball leagues out there. If anyone has any info please leave me a message. Thanks

They have teams made from NBA rejects and Korean players. Not bad though.

If you're talking about amt. leagues, I don't know of any, but there are tons of parks in Seoul that have pick-up games just about any day of the week. I get out about twice a week and play.

I know of a few good places where good players go. Most of them are outside though. The best players go to Yoeido on Sunday afternoons. There are about 5 different courts there with varying ability levels.

There a guy Nick (check the sports page on englishspectrum.com) who is trying to run an expat league on saturday afternoons.

There's another hotel gym that is open on saturday mornings for about 2 hours but it's expensive (15,000 including sauna)

As mentioned there are a lot of courts everywhere, but finding good competition is way more difficult. If your interested, there are a lot of summer 3v3 tournaments coming up this summer that i'm looking to get into, but I need a good team. I've been in two in the past basically carrying the load alone.

If you let me know the area your in, I can possible turn you onto where the good players hang out.

If you can make it to Bundang let me know. I play every Sunday, barring rain.

I play every chance I get near Hanyang. There are several good courts in that area. I'd be up for some 3 on 3 tourney action if anyone else knows where/how to join.

While it's thoroughly enjoyable, I have a few gripes about street ball here...figured this is as good a place to air them as any.

Every pickup game I've played here has been "make it, take it".

No one "checks" the ball.

In 3-3 games, they reset at the bottom of the goal instead of at the top of the key.

No 3 second violations.

Subs in a game to 10 points are totally uncalled for.

But my all-time least favorite thing here is.......................the no-look jumping pass. Everyone I play with thinks they're Steve Nash. Drive to bucket, kick it out. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I just wish they would learn there's more to the game than offense.....

Defense Wins Championships

Just look at the NBA. The two best teams Spurs and Pistons.
