"Knockout" is a well-known basketball game kids love playing.

You may have heard it called 'elimination', 'lightning', 'bump', or a bunch of other names depending on which corner of the world you're living.

But regardless of what you call it...

If you've played basketball during school or attended a youth basketball practice, chances are you've played knockout.

Here's a brief overview of the game and then I'll expand on it below:

"Every player gets into a single line. The first two players have a basketball. Players must shoot until they score. If the person behind you scores before you, youre out. If you score before the player behind you, join the end of the line."

Want a more detailed guide on the knockout basketball game?

Let's do it.

If you want a video of the basketball knockout game in action, here's one by Jr NBA.

The main reason coaches and teachers play knockout is for fun.

But there are also several basketball skills practiced during the knockout basketball game:

1. To begin the drill, the first player in line shoots from the designated spot.

2.If they miss, the shooter can immediately sprint in, rebound the basketball, and then finish with a layup or close shot around the hoop.

3.As soon as the ball leaves the shooter hands, the second player can shoot the ball.

4.If the first player makes a shot before the second player, then they quickly rebound the ball and pass it back to the next person in line.

5.If the second player makes a shot before the first player, the first player is out.

6.This continues until there's a winner.

Shooting Spot Location -Instead of always using the free-throw line, change the spot players are required to initially shoot from. You could make it further away (three-point line) or even closer for the youngest of players.

Must Make Distance Shot -Instead of finishing with a layup after a missed shot, players are required to rebound the ball, retreat back to the 'shooting spot' and then shoot again.

Left-Handed Finish -If you're coaching advanced players, set a rule that players must finish with their non-preferred hand after missing the first shot.

Knockout Game | New York Post

A teenager playing knockout game punched a man in the face after he made certain that the victim was not carrying a gun, a Florida man told police.

According to a witness who saw the attack unfold, a teenager approached a man who was walking alone on Neptune Beach on July 31, the Florida Times-Union reported Friday.

According to the victim, the teen, who was with three accomplices, asked him if he had a glock.

While Glock is a weapons manufacturer, the term glock is also used generically to describe any type of handgun.

After the man said that he did not have a weapon, the teen punched him in the face.

Instances of the knockout game have been widely reported in cities across the country over the last several years. Carried out most often by teenagers usually in groups the goal of the so-called game is to knock a target unconscious. Several people have died during the attacks.

Fearing that outcome, the victim pulled out a folding knife that he was carrying and pretended it was a gun, according to the Florida Times-Union.

The attackers fled down the beach but were soon apprehended. The victim identified his attacker, who turned out to be 15-years old.

Knockout Game Attacker Asked Man If He Had A Gun Before ...

Tiffany Thompson got her wish: Demetrius Murphy met the Right Person and he will not be playing the Knockout Game any more. Ever.

A St. Louis homeowner shot Murphy dead late last week during a burglary. And a whole lot of people in St. Louis feel relieved, if not safer.

Murphy was a member of a group that is credited with making the Knockout Game a St. Louis tradition, then a national pasttime.

The rules of the Knockout Game are simple: Begin with a bunch of black people. Anywhere from three to 30.

Find a white person, but an Asian will do. Alone is important. Older is better. Weak and defenseless even more so.

Without warning, punch that person in the face as hard as you can. You win if you score a Knockout.

If not, keep punching until your arms and legs get too tired to continue. Or the person dies.

You can play anywhere, but vibrant and culturally mixed neighborhoods are probably the best. That is where the victims are: Asians, gays, artists, yuppies, seniors , college students people who wont fight back.

Over the last two years, hundreds of people around the country have become victims. Some say over 100 in St. Louis alone. Some died. Others, like Murphys victim Matt Quain, suffered broken bones in his face and jaw.

Last week, four members of the national Championship Alabama football team were arrested after three played the game two times, and the fourth tried to use a debit card taken during the attacks.

Many of these cases of black mob violence are documented in the book White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return racial violence and how the media ignore it.

Murphy and his friends were arrested in November 2011 when police found a 13-year-old girl who witnessed the Knockout Game assault on Quain. The charges were dismissed after she failed to show up. The mayor of St. Louis said there was no doubt in his mind the witness was intimidated and too frightened to testify. The mother of the witness said the same several months later.

The gang was jubilant, and took to FaceBook to say so. FREE ALL MY TKO GUYS, said one of the members of the mob that was freed, reported the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Two days later, two members of the group tracked down Quain and threatened him again.

He threatened them with pepper spray and they ran.

The pace of the Knockout Game picked up in other places with other victims. That is when Tiffany Thompson made her wish at a news site reporting the results of the latest St. Louis victim:

as a black woman i will say this, i wish they would run into the right person who is armed to defend themselves with a firearmi bet we will see a drastic decrease in violence in our city. it is embarrassing and shameful the image these losers portray of blacks in st louis. i do not and never will reside anywhere besides the suburbs of this city, because no one is safe among these savages. do not get angry when people call them thugs, because that is exactly what they are and no excuses can be made for this barbaric behavior! its disgusting!!!

That right person was a St. Louis homeowner who found Murphy and a friend in his backyard at 1:30 a.m.

Missouri citizens are protected by the so-called Castle Doctrine that allows the use of deadly force against intruders.

But Murphys friend, a 17-year-old man, was charged with murder because he was an accomplice to a felony where a person was killed.

Murphys grandfather, Paul Furst, told KSDK that Murphy was mentally challenged did not deserve to die:

I believe this is another one of the Trayvon Martin stories where people are getting so gun happy they shoot just on impulse now. I could understand if he was a threat. But on the property, he was not a threat.

Murphys grandfather had nothing to say to a neighbor who said he, too, was a victim of Murphy: Jonathan Preiss told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

I live 3 houses down from where the shooting took place. I believe they are the ones who threw a rock and a brick into my window, stole my tv, ps3, wii and games as well right before this happened. They ransacked my room, no regard for my property. I am still freaked out over this whole thing. I hope this is a lesson of the consequences for violating my communitys privacy.

Murphy was 15 years old.

Knockout Game perp shot, killed - WND

The New York Times says the Knockout Game is a lie. USA Today says it is a myth, a product of white fear. This book settles that once and for all.

This is the most complete collection of Knockout Game links and videos and stories ever assembled.

"Knockout Game a Lie?" uses hundreds of links to videos and stories that provide the compelling answer: "Aww, hell no!" It also contains a link to a video with hundreds of examples.

Created by the author of White Girl Bleed a Lot, Colin Flaherty has written more about the Knockout Game than anyone. So says American Thinker, Bretibart and Daily Caller.

"Knockout Game a Lie?" documents the denials: How the Knockout Game is a myth because black mob violence and black on white crime that is wildly out of proportion is also a myth, say the deniers.

But the Knockout Game attacks just kept happening by the hundreds.

By the time the Knockout Game became a national buzz word in November of 2013, I had been writing about it for two years. First in White Girl Bleed a Lot. Then dozens of times afterward in WND.com, FrontPage.com, Breitbart, AmericanThinker.com and lots of other places.

Critics liked it: Thomas Sowell, Allen West, Breitbart, Joseph Farah, Thomas Lifson, the Daily Caller, WND, American Thinker, David Horowitz, Jamie Glazov and others said I was ahead of the curve. Way ahead.

Others like the Los Angeles Times and Village Voice and Salon said I was making the whole thing up. National talk radio host Thom Hartmann said White Girl Bleed a Lot caused the Knockout Game. Just the way MSNBC said White Girl Bleed a Lot caused the Boston Marathon bombing.

There is a lot of craziness surrounding the denials of the Knockout Game. These denials cannot survive the truth, so lets present that here without racism. Without rancor. Without apologies.

After you read Knockout Game a Lie?, you might try to explain it, but you can no longer deny it.

When you get there, let me know.
