To sign 'men', start by forming an open '5' handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your fingers spread apart. Bring your hand up and touch your thumb to your forehead. Then, move your hand down in a smooth motion to touch your thumb to the center of your chest. This is the same as the sign for 'man'.
Sign 'men' by touching your thumb to your forehead and then your chest, followed by the signs for 'play' and 'basketball'.
Start with the sign for 'three', then sign 'men' using the forehead-to-chest motion, and finish by signing 'room'.
Point to yourself for 'I', sign 'see', hold up two fingers for 'two', sign 'men', and then use the sign for 'walk'.

In ASL, the sign for 'man' and 'men' is often exactly the same. Plurality is usually understood from the context of the sentence, or by adding a number or a sign like 'many' before the word.
In ASL, the upper half of the head is the designated location for masculine signs. Starting at the forehead establishes right away that the sign is related to a male.
No, a gentle tap with your thumb on the center of your chest is perfect. The movement should be relaxed and natural, not forceful or rigid.
