An Important Feature of the Game
The key features of many games today, tend to be redundant in their description. After all, there's only so many ways to play a game. That's not the case with Tip-Off Basketball.
While other games have various methods to gain points, none of them require physical activity such as push-ups, jumping jacks, and sit-ups to be performed to earn points.
"Nothing is as funny as when a player has to do jumping jacks or push-ups; talk about an ego deflator!"
It is so funny how boys are so suddenly surprised that girls can be just as good at the physical athletics as the boys; if not better!
This proved to be not just a distinctive detail about Tip-Off Basketball, that sets it apart from other games, but demonstrates that basketball is just as much a girls sport and interest as well.
