So i just got back from the gym hooping the other day and i noticed something ..



Im a huge ball hog :troll:


My entire game revolves around isolation and crossovers, dont even get me started about my shot selection :skip:


I just realised this all A.I fault, i remember back a couples years ago during the prime of AI career he literally changed how basketball was played.

Crossover>>>jumpshot

Isolation>>>>team work

I dont even use screens :heh:

I was raised in this brand of ignant basketball brehs and i would not have it any other way :blessed:


Who else was influenced by this era brehs?

I was playing like A.I. too back at his peak that's why I fukked my right foot up real bad. Going to the basket all hard ending up busting my ass like A.I. would do every night getting hammered during games.

I should've modeled my game after Stackhouse :salute:

yea unfortunately I thought I was too good to practice and got kicked off my elementary school team

I play like Tony Allen. I can't really shoot or have an offensive game but I'll D up the best perimeter player and hustle my ass off.

Yeah.

AI was my favorite player which led to my middle school coach consistently chastising me for leaning back when I shot and releasing the ball really quickly with no follow through.

I didn't make my HS team :sadcam:

I was a five nine kid who came up in the Hampton area and was fifteen when Philly went to the Finals... What do you think? :aicmon:

i was too old by the time he came around...jordan and kemp influenced me...

but i noticed in the late 90s early 2000s that way too many cats started playing like him...

to be honest it made playing games less fun...to the extent that i lost interest in it
