nikkas don't even know the names you said and the names I know. Playing v. NBA level talent is basically playing v. as you said.. Prodigies. They are all prodigies. All of them. Athletic marvels in some way or another. Ppl don't think Nash is an athletic marvel but play on the court with him and see how good he will make average high school player look. Ppl underestimate how good these guys are. Brain Scalabrine was a great college player. He would dominate 99% of the human popl on the BBall court. Myself included and I got skills and crazy court vision. I have a 6'7 wingspan and I am 6'4. I havehad crazy speed but even I was no match as I greatly lacked lateral quickness, Basketball explosiveness, and coordination in general even tho I had a 36 inch vert and could run a 10.27 standing in the 100m.

I was an athlete hooping back in those days. Looking back, even though my handle was alright, I was raw. As you said, they were prodigies. Very rarely have I ever done something in my life that would force me to recognize my ceiling. Usually in a business meeting, I am the smartest or something like that, like fukk you, I should be CEO/President! On those days, I realized my limit on the basketball court. While we clown the 12th man on the bench in the NBA, high chance that they was bussing someone's ass back in their hood far better than you could hope to be.

In the business world, it's competitive but it's not as crazy because we all have different skills and abilities to add to the table but in Basketball, it was mainly about impact. Who makes the most impact. To us at that age, it was about talent. I really feel like I didn't have any doubt I would make it till I played v. a NBA prospect in college. In HS, I played v. Dwight but I wasn't all to impress outside of the fact that he's such a freakish athlete at his size, it didn't make any damn sense but his skills wasn't good at all but as we know, they develop so quick when they have the God given talent and body. Much faster than you or I. With much less work being put into it.

The reason why I say college is because they are so much better than HS's it is crazy but the special ones have talent that it's clear to see they are going to be better than you sooner than later even if they are younger. Anyone who makes it to the NBA is special. Even that 7 footer is special. You you stopping him or trying scoring on him. See how much area he takes up out of the paint. I played with long 6'6 guys that made me adjust my shot much less though 6'10-7ft freaks you have in the NBA.

He does the same to his peers in the league tho. 1 on 1 not many in the world can guard him.

Still needs to tighten up that handle. He commits way too many turnovers and I would like for him to finish stronger at the rim(he did better in that department this year though). There's no excuse when little ass Goran Dragic is going hard at the rim.


Dragic is 6'4 and quick.
