LOL @ guys in this thread who think they could take on Jose, not only would he score on you 10 times in a row with ease, he'd shut you down too. He's a bad defender when he's facing elite NBA athletes, but he still has better size and defensive fundamentals than your typical good streetballer.


i agree that jose would smash any regular person but wnba sucks. you should be ashamed of yourself.

lol @ the guy who thinks some realgm bros could take Jose 1 on 1. Jose wouldn't do great against actual legit basketball talent 1 on 1, but the dude is like 6'3, has amazing shooting, his quicks/ups are out of this world compared to your average B-Baller, etc. I have to assume this guys joking

lol, I was like 16. You say this now, but it's a different story when someone can drop 15-20 foot jumpers like they are layups. A good WNBA player would run your local gym based on shooting ability alone.

I know plenty of guys that are bigger and more athletic than Jose, but no way would they be able to beat him 1 on 1. He would destroy them with skill easily. He's already one of the best shooters in the league being contested by NBA caliber defenders. Now think about how easy it would be for him to do it against average joes. These guys do it for a job.

But I would be really interested in knowing how the average joe would fare against a WNBA player. I would say the more exceptional players would take the average joe easily, but I really think many of the average players would play evenly with a modestly skilled guy.

Sacre looks like a nice prospect to me. If he is allowed to develop (which is far from guaranteed since he's a late second rounder) he has a place in the league.
Otherwise he'll go to Europe (where they look for actual talent and not for your draft position), will improve and get back in the NBA where is 30 and people will wonder how they missed a decent player.

If someone or you have these qualities then you wouldn't be working a slave 9-5er job bud and playing amateur ball runs @ the local Y, your ass would be in some NBA/euroleague bench somewhere earning millions of dollars, now get'outta here with that bullsh@%.
