How to Play Basketball Tip-In

Video Transcript

"You know one form of a game, you call 21 is 21 Tipin. Here we call, I call it Taps. Hi, I'm Travis and this is just how to play, Tipin. What you want to do is you start the game just like any other 21, you have a person start the game from up here at the top of the key, or at the free throw line like I am, and he take the initial shot. Now the initial shot gets everybody going, every shot from up there, from the top of the key or from the free throw line is going to be worth one point, just like any game of 21, and every other shot outside of that is going to be two points. So, when a person gets, let say, I miss my first shot from up here, I get the ball back and I'm playing the game and if I'm down here, and I make that shot, that's a two pointer but I have to go back and make three more free throws. So, while I'm making this three free throws of if you're playing from the top of the key, I'm shooting three from the top of the key, if I miss one of those and someone down here that's playing against me tips it in, depending on where you're from, you could go back to zero or you could go back to five, depending on where you're playing. But, if we're playing here and someone tips my ball, we go back to zero. If I get tip again, tip out there or in here, if I get tip again, a lot of times they'll just play elimination which means you get eliminated if you get tip twice after you have zero. So, what you want to make sure is you want to make sure that if you've gotten tip once, you want to score again, somewhere, someway, somehow. There you have it, basketball tipin."
