A ball hog is a derisive term in basketball for a player who likes

to handle the ball very often, more than what is good for the team. A ball

hog would rather try difficult shots or to dribble a lot than

to pass to a teammate, either because of poor court vision or supreme

confidence in his own ability.

The common offensive strategy for a basketball team is to have the better player(s) attempting more shots; however, when a player seems to be taking this strategy to excess, that player is often said to be a ball hog. Therefore the term is very subjective and players can be considered as ball hogs by some, but not by others. Some players that are ball hogs are Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant and Kobe Bryant.

Other notable ball hogs: Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant and Kobe Bryant.
