It's always funny to hear people who've never been part of a team speaking about team sports. Jenny thinks it's fun to pass the ball to Lebron and watch him dunk - the few minutes you're not on the bench that is ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's not about just winning, it's about winning well. Joga bonito Jenny, I'd rather fuck the wall.

What are you talking about? Assists are absolutely a great feeling when playing basketball. And, for that matter, so are wide-open shots you score in plays made possible by teammates' contribution: good passing, pick setting, etc.

And I've never played at a level where alley oops are possible, but I kinda wish that I could've.

Absolutely true, but assists are just one facet of the game, even greats like Nash in basketball or Pirlo in football whose passing was what made them famous, did everything else too. Imho being able to visualize the entire court/pitch etc and to create plays requires the highest level of mastery, it's absolutely amazing to watch and the few times I was able to pull something like that off, it's a better feeling than scoring. That being said, this doesn't translate well to the sex with a vibrator scenario because it's not quite a team game. It's an inanimate fucking object that your partner prefers to you. You're not Steve Nash opening the play for your team, you're the ball boy.
