Im 6'2" been playing ball since i was 12. Never cared to make a team but due to my height i was always asked in high school and college to try out for the team...

I played for fun cause my brother was on teams and a real solid player since the afe of 14. He would win tournaments and i lived in his shadow...lol

My bro was a beast in the paint, he modeled his game after hakeem. His footwork and all, so i was always forced to spot up n shoot...

After college, i played ball like 10 times a year...just within the last 2 years i play whenever i can.

My jumpshot and range is stupid. I shoot from 2 to 3 feet behind the 3 pointline. People hate guarding me lol.

On everything i played on thanksgiving, and played some young kids 24 to 26. One kid tried playing me by calling me 2008 mamba :childplease: and said im old man doc rivers...im a very humble guy in victory.

But that day i scored on this kid till he said damn nikka you embarassed us HAHA:myman:

I def dont move like i use to but no matter the age, anyone who learns to shoot will never lose it.

I hope these young fools actually learn to shoot a jumpshot and dont just chuck up shots

:mjlol:

Now you've got people saying this in wake of the Cavs/Hawks series -


It's as if they forgot all the nonsense that's been said about Curry and the Warriors. :dead:

:ehh: You got that.

Now as far as the bolded we can't act like Steph hasn't received far more love than hate.

6'2 is tall in high school, especially at lower levels where no one is going D1.

True. I was laughing more at his ducktales than the height remark. Every Coli knee grow that has ever touched a basketball was some superstar, but is always bu bu bu but when it comes to playing college ball. They need to start showing some receipts.

To be fair to Curry, which pains me to do fucc him, during the Cavs game today whoever was commentating said some shyt to the effect of:

"Kids! If you want to be in the NBA one day, get out to the driveway and practice that three ball!"


:martin:

Not no dribbling?

no passing?

No layups?:what:

Gonna be abunch of kids that can hit from half court regularly but can't get the ball there to do it :scust:

Is that any different than everyone trying to dunk like cheese eyes?

And Curry's handles are damn good which makes that clown announcers comments so pathetic

Of course it is. Unless you can dunk, you're not gonna be trying to dunk in games. But any clown and clueless kid can be delusional enough to say fukk the game and just decide to try launching 30 footers with the hopes of making one.

The principal is still the same. Emulating the best player in the league. Of course not everyone can dunk.

shyt, look at the :aicmon: era when everyone was trying to jack up shots and do terrible carry crossovers.

And again that was easier and more accessible for everyone to do, so the And-1 era was a much bigger problem than the Jordan era.

Jacking up long threes is the easiest yet, so you see a lot more people doing it a lot more often. And its effectively ruined the game.

Typical New York basketball but, you're obviously trash anyways!

Facts. My best days are behind me but there's no motivation to get on the court as go to work. These nikkas just want to fast break and shoot 3s shyt is wack. NY full court ball is trash but half court games :banderas:
