Also honestly harder to be friends w basketballers whose play you dislike. In ultimate you have to share w at least one person. In basketball you have the option to go solo at all times. And the guy who brings the ball up and shoots w/o passing cannot be my friend. We see the world too differently.
(the bigger problem, to me, is people who either
a) don't like the way they themselves play and believe that playing a way that you love is childish
b) don't assess their play in style terms and lack a coherent grasp of aesthetics* in ulty and sports)
* literally just liking some styles based on things other than efficacy is a statement of aesthetics. Or like "that player's forehand is just... pretty." It needn't be a treatise on beauty and the flights of the disc or whatever.

On the flip side hucks, hammers, and hope will make you instantly my best friend. Bonus points in you're a defensive nut who lays out gratuitously.
