That's a tough question.
I think it's a very subjective matter. I think it's perhaps when I am no longer enjoying the feeling of fun that the basketball game generated in me.
You might also like to consider this. The Past Perfect is what I'd call 'an educated tense'. Some people never use it and don't even know what it is.
