Some where their is a kid with these handles and court-vision, coupled with a tenacious work ethic and a developed post game, with an array of hook shots and up and unders...

all he needs to do is get stronger :ohhh:

Meh.. watch most of these dudes have broken jumpers, inability to score, etc. Bron can't do any of that crazy handling those kids do, yet he's the best player in the league. MJ had superb handle but he wasn't doing all that extra shyt with the ball. All these kids want to do is cross people up and take it to the rim. These little brehs need to learn how to potent offensive players and playmakers. That's what get you that max contract.

Something wrong with using the best basketball player in the world as an example? These kids have all these moves, but can they score? Can they hit open jumpers? Can they set up teammates properly? I'd rather have a potent offensive game and shaky handle than the opposite breh.

Yes it's wrong to compare the best player in the world game now to 12-13 year olds. How do you not see that. The skill they have now is unreal for their age not compared to nba players

But some of the young kids out there doing shyt like this will develop into stars, that's the point of the thread.

Guys like Bron and Rose were probably doing shyt at 7th-8th grade that guys like Kobe weren't at that age.

Kobe was doing shyt that someone like Tim Hardaway wasn't at 7th 8th grade.

Yeah, the incorporation of some really advanced moves at such a young age is insane, one of those kids hit a in & out to Dirk one legger. Lil dudes doing Wade swing through + euro seps :mindblown:

The evolution of the game is right there, you can see it in 11-13 year olds, sadly it also shows the lack of big men :to:

I remember in 8th grade, 2001, kids practicing the Shamgod and only 1-2 people being able to do it adequately, but even then it was pretty slow, shyt they'd do while playing a V when it was just 1 defender at the top of the key. These kids are doing the shyt while running full speed down court in 5 on 5 situations. shyt is ridiculous

what the fukk was I doing in my youth?

Growing up, some dudes had crazy handles but they were trying to be And1 - that shyt sent pickup games back 10 years. I remember guys would be like "nah nah, NBA rules man. Come on.":russ:


My jumper was always wet, but my handles were suspect because I was always bigger than most.

I always played forward, and then I stopped growing at 6'0, and got trapped. :to:


I got post moves, a mid-range, sneaky 3, so I get mine :patrice: but I was too slow and had no PG skills moves. I was doomed :sadcam:


What's the name of the song in the OP?
