I can shoot fairly well and pass decently but I can't do much else :yeshrug: I'm cool with it though.

Power lay-ups ALL DAY though :birdman:

i come from a hoopin family and i know alot of nikkas that went on to college from D1 to D3 some made it to the league too

i played AAU growin up with some of these nikkas and imma say nikkas show talent at like 6-8 years old

but the nikkas that actually go somewhere off of hooping been gym rats since like 5-6 as well

When I was walk-on for Purdue University and realized that I was used as practice fodder for the mens and women's basketball team:to:.

Plus Carl Landry and David Teague were just on another level

I realized it was over after I seen I wasn't gettin no taller than 5'11

I was real good at baseball and football too, wish I wouldv'e taken that shyt serious smh
yea, the crazy thing is I was a natural beast at football. Like my first year playing i was literally like a top 3 player on the team.

But i was never really into football, i wanted to live my hoop dreams(half assed) and look where it got me :damn:

I pretty much knew that when I stopped growing at around 5'5" in junior high school. I was hoping a second growth spurt in high school. That didn't happen like Santa not showing up.
