What is a 1s and 2s in Pickup Basketball?
1s and 2s is the pickup basketball scoring system: shots inside the 3-point arc count as 1 point, shots from beyond the arc count as 2 points. Different from official basketball scoring (2s and 3s) but standard for pickup.
Example in a match
You hit a layup. That's 1 point in pickup scoring. Your friend hits a 3 — that counts as 2 points.
