I wasn't rebounding for shyt.

One of my teammates would snag a rebound and I would yell "GET OFF US!!!!!"

I'm only 6 ft tall anyway. 74.36% of my game consisted of catch & shoot.
Brotha, I'm 5'9/5'10 (pending on what 7-Eleven I walk out of :lolbron:), that paint might as well been a part of town I wanted no part of :whoa:

Point guard, run it up, pass it, drop back behind the 3 line and call it back :ahh:

I'm only 5 10 but I like banging down in the paint. These big dudes be shocked when they can't move me and I'm getting them good angles and taking boards from them.

I like the paint. Sendin a nigguh shot back out of the paint with some velocity is one of the best feeling in the world. I block a nigguh shyt so bad once, he stopped the game nd said we got to gt it on right now just off of go and was serious. I int know that nigguh girl was spectating. That nigguh still talk sideways to me this day on the social media.

You nikkas have no heart. The only time you should avoid camping down in the paint is when a guy has you by at least 30 pounds and 6 inches or more.

I'm 5'6", being scared of the paint is not an option. That's like thinking of swimming with a small bleeding cut in a shark tank. You just don't do it.
