Compliments

I dominated on the basketball court on Friday, and guys were telling me about how they couldn't stop me or wow what good shooting, I don't know how to respond.  I naturally feel like I should toss a compliment back their way, but what can I say?  "Yeah, I know.  Well, you're not very good.  Many of you aren't.  I would have prevented your breakaway lay-up, but I was too lazy, and it's 90 degrees out here."

Comments:
Just a simple "Thanks," is all you need.

Or self-deprecating humor: "Well, if I shoot enough times, a few shots are bound to fall."

But don't compliment someone if it's insincere -- the other person can always tell you're lying.
