These are the places that keep me sane between sprint reviews. Half are where I actually pull up and play until my knees file a formal complaint, the other half are where I go watch professionals do it properly so I can feel bad about my jumper in comfort. Bernal Hill is base camp. Everything else is a road trip from there.

My spots to hoop and watch — 4 items
Name	Type	Address	City	My take
1Bernal Heights Park Court	Outdoor pickup court	500 Moultrie Street	San Francisco	My home court, literally down the hill from my apartment. Wind serves as a free handicap for anyone who thinks they can shoot threes here.
2Holly Park	Outdoor pickup court	Bocana Street & Highland Avenue	San Francisco	Quiet, shaded, almost never crowded. Good for when I need to work on my handle without an audience judging my crossover.
3Alice Marble Tennis and Basketball Courts	Outdoor pickup court	1800 Hyde Street	San Francisco	Best view in the city while getting posterized. Saturday mornings bring out people who actually went to college for this sport.
4Mission Dolores Park Court	Outdoor pickup court	19th Street & Dolores Street	San Francisco	More spectators than players most days, which means more witnesses to my airballs. Still, the sunset games are unbeatable.
