Yeah that's an idea I'm going to look at! It is currently planned that you can "blow away" other players (with cooldown) so that you as a defender have a better chance of stealing the ball.
Yeah, it's on my To-Do! I'm planning a kind of "blast" to blow away other players and the ball. There are also "real" sci-fi baskets in the current version, so you have to jump relatively high to make a goal. So the defense of the opposing team has the chance to block.
