If there is one thing I hate its guarding quicker smaller guys (im 6'5) who have game and never stop moving.

I can do decent job staying with them but it makes me use up too much energy which make the other areas of my game suffer.

Yeah, also guys who have Turnaround Jumpers. Those are impossible to block and when they keep going in it really isn't fair.

6'3", 215 lbs, gonna get to 190 by the time the snow melts, though.

If I were comparing my game to anyone it'd be a cross between Tim Thomas and Charlie Villanueva.

I can really do most anything on the court and was always a great athlete, but once the games start I just sort of float out there on the court and don't do much of anything. Playing basketball with me was always a matter of mentality. During any one game I could shoot from anywhere, play a great point-forward, block a lot shots and get double digit rebounds, but other games I'd completely disappear and I really don't know why.

I was always just pretty content to be 'just a guy'.

I'm 6'3, I can shoot, I can pass, I can rebound, and I play at a high level. I play on campus (SERF, SHELL, etc) all the time. I'm also white, lanky, and ugly.

Basically, I am like Detleff Schremph without the mullet.

Im too short to play. But I dont just mean too short to play ball, Im too short period. Im the shortest guy I know.

BUT i still play at the YMCA and other community centres and I love it.

Height: 5'4
Weight: 145- Not too thick but def. not skinny.
Position: PG
Style of Play: Pass first, Dribble Penetration, Off the Ball movement.

I am lightning quick and I have decieving hops. I also have excellent court vision and I LOOOVE to pass the ball (way more than shoot) and I encourage my teammates to shoot the rock all the time, sometimes too much. Even though Im short and have very sucky wingspan, I often sneak past defenders for the rebounds. Overall, rebounding is not my game, takes way too much energy out of me so i stay away from it. boxing out though is not so bad as i push my opponent ( usually around 6 inches taller) out pretty far due to my low centre of gravity.

Im a very streaky shooter but I often take over the game, or hit a game winner when it matters. My favorite shots are as follows:

Off the screen pull up jumper.
Set shot from the corner/baseline
Blow by drive to the left with a swooping finish.
Spin to the right, banker finish.

My perimeter defense is impregnable! I remember a game where i must have had 4 or 5 consecutive steals. But my post defense is attrocious.
