I grew up playing basketball outdoors and I have barely ever played actual organized basketball. To clarify what street ball is it doesn't mean, playing basketball outdoors or in the ghetto (even though that is what I played) because even that could be organized. It is essentially pick up basketball, playing horse or other games, or practicing by yourself. Organized ball is playing on your high school team or another rep team.
Street basketball is where a lot of people start playing and it is more for the fun than it is winning. When you play pickup basketball you can play a lot more aggressive and get away with foul calls. This can lead to a lot of bad stuff in an actual game because of obvious reasons and lack of refereeing. There is a lot of benefits to playing street ball, better 1 vs 1 and more craftiness. Organized basketball can lead to softer players but obviously you need to know how to play with a team if you ever want to play in a big league.
