I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: these internets need a site for pickup basketball.
There’s nothing right now. Nothing. Okay, there’s InfiniteHoops, but it’s not used much and it doesn’t have the right focus. There’s a page at wikiHow. Whatever. At a minimum, the site could be blend between a wiki and Google Maps. Add a page for a location or court, describe the level of play and when people play, and give it a location on a map.

Games searchable by skill level, times played, and specific areas (i.e. neighborhoods in urban areas)
Player bios and profiles
Rules and definitions
News and alerts for games in a particular neighborhood
This is a site that has to be done! It could be both a place to find a game and a place that covers the news of pickup ball on high-profile sites.
Someone, do this!
