he has no left hand...

Unless the league goes back to what it once was he just gonna be tall for nothing. Unless he learns to shoot from long range. The NBA also has a "super African program" which will eventually fukk everything up

How is the African Academy "fukk everything up" ? And fukk up what exactly?

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

These freaks move a lot better than they use to

his dunks were utterly swagerless.
if he had the proportional vertical jump of your typical player, the rim would be at his waist level mid jump and he could pump the rock a dozen times before dunking it.

but no.

this lame does a bunny hop and gently places the ball in.

the NBA is arming them.

Sadly people in his situation don’t make it long

What do you mean by "arming"? And who is the "NBA arming"?

Being facetious

What are they feeding these kids?







And people think giants didn't exist?

He looks "normal" in the face.

Some tall guys have that Marfan Syndrome (???) look with the heavy brow and shyt. His face is regular degular like Christian Laettner or Tom Cruise or something. He's just tall, no disorder from the looks of it.

Has Africa (players born and raised there) produced any guards/wing players with elite offensive skill?

They have a knack for producing some athletic big men but I'm curious if/when we will see the African Steph Curry, Kobe, MJ etc.

Might be tricky since those 6'2" to 6'6" African brehs might hang on tryna play soccer and never switch to hoops. Start out as a striker but outgrows the position and ends up as a goalkeeper. You have to start early to be a great guard...hard to just pick up the sport late in life at the 1, 2 or 3.

Not to my knowledge tbh. And probably for the reasons you stated. Soccer is still way bigger in Africa, and then you have athletics, boxing, etc. And given the limited ressources I doubt many african countries can afford to invest at a serious level in different sports.

the NBA is funding for or directly providing weapons to them.
the training is done in guise of athletics but is really for infantry readiness.

making it to 40 would be a stretch.

Usually they are not out there playing sports if that was the case. The doctors tell them not to.

nikka stay lying and of course he tried to tie in the bible to this thread. "and people think giants didn't exist".
