brick is also used as an insult in drag, i.e. “she looks like a total brick. her makeup and outfit are obviously terrible.”

but they meant it as in brick like in basketball as to miss a shot, i.e “you totally bricked that shot, you scrub”

to further explain: it specifically hails from street ball courts, often wedged between urban apartment buildings, which were often brick buildings. "bricking" is shooting a shot so wild as to miss the backboard completely and hit the brick building behind the court.

I always thought it was because the shot was thrown like a brick, meaning with a poor arc to the basket. The ball can't make it through the hoop easily without a high arc on the shot.

Can people stop making up new words! My decrepit 30 something ass can't handle it anymore!

Both of these usages of "brick" are more than 30 years old...

I was going to say being 30 years old puts you about as squarely as you could be in the target demo for yelling "brick" at a bad basketball shot

I’m way older than that and didn’t know either one. Is antisportsball male a gender?

Sinny rizz, cousin. If you don’t have the sauce to fly don’t buy your ticket on TripAdvisor, my gangster disciple.

it's okay, as long as you keep showing up to the court and keep practicing your free throws, you'll see improvement.
