Me parece que esto es más o menos lo que quiere decir:
Like most people, my basketball expertise comes from playing pickup basketball. In a pickup game, you don't know anyone's name or background.
In street [basketball] (also known as pickup or streetball) games, an arbitrary number of points by one team is set as the game's end point. Free throws are not used, and fouls are called, by the fouled player, only when a violation is flagrant or prevents a score. Fouls are almost always called by the player with the ball; off-ball fouls or fouls called by the defense are frowned upon or not even considered unless the foul committed is especially egregious.

6 mins confidence:  básquetbol (basketball) intramuros
Explanation:
En mi universidad, juego al futbol "intramural" (significando jugamos contra muchachos/as solos de la universidad-- se dice pick-up game) y los jugadores son de muchas partes del mundo. Hay muchachos que hablan español el uno al otro--supongo que son chicanos, pero quizás son de otros lugares.
