Today, while playing basketball, my friend thanked me for passing the ball to him. I was too embarrassed to tell him that that was me shooting. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was playing basketball, and while trying to jump and shoot, I farted on the face of the person behind me. FML
Today, I was playing basketball in the searing heat with my friends. I jokingly told my friend that I was gonna die if I stayed out there much longer. Two minutes later, I got the ball and made the shot that won. Too bad I didn't see it, since I collapsed right as I took the shot and blacked out. FML
Today, I was playing basketball in our company gym. I took a shot from half court, and at that exact moment, an executive walked into the gym with an important potential client. My shot bounced off the side of the backboard, off some bleachers, and right into the client's head. FML
Today, I had a basketball game against our rivals. Since the starting guard had a broken ankle, I felt happy that I could finally get playing time and prove that I'm good. Instead I had to run the scoreboard for the game, because the scoreboard guy was absent. FML
Today, I was playing in a basketball game and blocked this kid's shot. I was really pumped up about it until I realized the kid had cerebral palsy and the coach put him on the team because he really wanted to be on at least one team in his life. FML
Today, I was playing tennis with my friend. He hit a ball up high, and I slammed it down, thinking there was no way he would get it. Feeling pretty good about it, I turned around to celebrate. As I turned around, I got smacked in my face. He got it. FML
Today, I had just bought a new $60 basketball and decided to go try it out. Five minutes into playing, the ball decided to roll into the hands of a little girl, who then said, "Mine!" I thought it was cute, until she skipped over to her parent's car, and they drove off. FML
Today, I was playing basketball with my friends. I went up for a dunk and ended up hitting my head on the rim, knocking myself out. When I came to my senses, my "friends" had all left. Assholes. FML
Today, I tried to show off my basketball skills to a cute girl at the park. I went up for a dunk and ended up getting stuck in the net, hanging upside down while everyone laughed at me. FML
Today, I was at a volleyball game talking with my friends when a girl who is in my team arrived. She was greeting someone else but I thought that she was saying hi to me. However, I'd already waved back at her. All my friends and others noticed the situation and as a result they laughed at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Opposite happened to me! I tried to pass the ball and ended up getting a basket.

yep same thing happened to me but in football. Was meaning to cross the ball for a friend to head it in, and it just kept going and going and going and caught the goalkeeper wrong footed. It goes in and everyone cheered because I usually don't score. I just shrugged and passed on the opportunity to act like a total badass who meant that all along; hope you didn't.

What is this, Canadian basketball, where people thank each other each time the ball is passed?

and apologize for each foul; in fact call your own foul and high fives from opposing team mates when you get it in from the free throw line.

I wouldn't say just because he was bad at sports meant he was smart. In fact, sports has a lot to do with brains. it's what makes some sports like chess boxing (interchanging timed rounds of boxing/chess till either knockout or checkmate) so much fun to watch. Honestly I kinda think the de-emphasis on the intelligent side of sports is done solely because consumers in front of a tv don't want to think strategy. As such, I've seen dads on couches that could do a better job than some of the sportscasters they hire. That being said I actually despise most sports, though that's because it once again doesn't emphasize the intellect, reflexes, coordination, etc. but instead "oh that guy threw a ball far he must be strong". Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if OP's shooting technique was just horrendous, but he and you are mixing that up with strength to throw.

whoa pump the breaks bro. I have no knowledge of OPs intelligence level, it's a line from a movie I find humorous. you do have a solid point on incompetent sports casters, michelle tafoya causes my brain cells to commit suicide.
