Brick is your Radio Sports Trivia Answer

The term "brick" is from shots without proper touch banging the rim after a player releases the ball. A poor shot made by a player who has no sense of where the shot is going. Usually such a shot hits the backboard with a thunk or the rim of the basket with a clang. Always box out or follow shot.

Answer 3

( Brick ) is a slang term used in basketball to describe a shot that misses in a rather dramatic way. The term is used as an insult to make fun of the person who shoots the ball.




The basketball hits the rim of the hoop and bounces off. The rim has a color similar to that of an actual brick and thus the player has shot a brick because it hits the rim and misses.

After the player shoots the basketball, the ball falls as fast as an actual brick and thus misses horribly.

Answer 4

Brick: Slang for a hard shot that bounces off the rim or backboard without going through the hoop.
