Nah. That post had a lot of foolishness and zero truth in it..... and I live in reality.... all day every day
Delladova is strong and his stamina is good, even among NBA tier athletes. Dude could probably play 10 straight pickup games and barely be winded while playing lockdown D and basic jump shots
NBA is a game of inches, breh. If you played against CP3 and Delladova, you'd barely be able to tell the difference with how bad they roasted you or how unguardable they felt.
In the nfl if you athletic enough then you'll be okay

I thought sports was "modern-day slavery" to you, why would you support that?

But don't NFL teams have squads of about 200 players?
53 players on an nfl roster. 10 on the practice squad.
63=200

Yep, people underestimate these dudes cardio/stamina also. Hell, thats half the battle rite there. You can be talented as hell but if u too winded to get up and down the court/field, whats the point? An NBA "scrub" could come to any rec center in america and run all day. An NFL "scrub" WR could run non-stop in any pickup game. NOBODY would be able to keep up with him

If I was an athlete I'd try to get into the NBA or MLB before the NFL. Baseball and basketball contracts are fully guaranteed
NFL can cut you with no hesitation after they've paid you your guaranteed money

The nba is full of a bunch of 6'4" pgs with handles like a 5'7" streetballer.
That's enough to show how hard it is to make it.
Half of the players in the draft have been scouted by colleges since they were in 8th grade

I'll just quote what I posted in another thread cuz it answers this.
Well yes and no....
Yes bball out of all the sports is the easiest to pickup
formula one racing
When you play regular pickup...a 6'3-6'4 guy is the center and is playing in the post.
In the NBA that guy is the point guard with the best handles.
The best PG in the entire world is a 6'3(listed) who can barely dunk, has avg athleticism, and just won his first ring.
All he did was work hard to achieve everything he has. There is no secret
Like look Kyle Lowry is an all star point guard in 2015 *cough* justin bieber tweet *cough* and lil Kevin Hart blocked this nikka when they played one on one
Like at the end of the day its still Basketball. The Rim is 10ft height and the ball is 29.5 inches wide.
People in the thread gassing up getting shytting on by D1 players. Well no shyt. They have been playing since they were 5...been playing AAU. Spending summer after summer going to camps and getting up thousands of shots. While you only play what once a month or once a week.
Think of it like playing the piano.
You play the piano once a week or a couple times a month. Yeah you can master like one or two songs and be like "yeahhhh I can play the piano"
Then someone that has been playing the piano since they were 5 and plays it every day for countless hours comes in and plays Adagio Sostenuto Ludwig Van Beethoven No. 14 in C Sharp Minor with their eyes close.
Of course they gonna shyt on you
I would hope someone that has been playing basketball 320 out of the 365 days every year for the past 15 years is better than I am

If I could rewind time , I wouldve been training up for tennis
Tried out freshman year but wasnt taking shyt serious
No way a black god cant excel at that sport and make that bread
No CTE, no concussions , just a bunch of cac tears
Real talk....if I could go back I would have taking my speed as a runningback and used it for tennis...for what its worth. I've known a few black folks that played in high school, college, semi-pro or just for fun. I did take one or two lessons from a black tennis club, it just never stuck. Peer pressure and not wanting to be "to different" wouldn't have let me do it anyway....besides tennis is same season as track......werent no Serena Williams type chicks compared to track teams ..lol.
