I know what you mean. Often-times than not, playing basketball is not so much about shooting and driving-in perfect every-time but what you do but what you do after you make an airball or lose the ball during a drive. A good player would think about why his form was off, make a mental note how to correct it and then shrug it off and shoot/drive again. Also basketball is an awesome sport to interacting with everyone from society. Ultimate Frisbee you get vegan hippies, Golf/Tennis/Squash you get yuppies, soccer you get a lot of European/Hispanics but basketball you get to interact with everybody. Also, you don't realize how good you are and how bad everyone else is, because you tend to under-estimate yourself and over-estimate other people's ability. Just count the number of shots good BBall players make on the court versus your field goal percentage, and you'll see that most people on the playground probably consider you already a pro even if you yourself don't think so.
