Mark Davis played for Milwaukee, Brian Magid for Indiana, neither got past deep bench guy. Frigging Davis blocked on of my too flat jumpers from at least 15 feet away; Magid was one of those guys (at pickup level) like Curry who just looked like he would never miss a shot. Coached against a few, Scottie Pippen Jr. is about the last one still playing in the NBA though.
My brother and I used to enjoy beating better players 2 on 2 because we understood the PnR and they didn't. They'd crash into each other and I'd roll for an open layup or he'd hit an open jumper. Worked over and over. That and they'd be trying to play with one hand holding their pants up which was always pretty ridiculous.
I'm so happy I got to look up Brian Magid and be reminded that, once upon a time, one could be an eighth-round (or even ninth or tenth, some years!) draft pick in the NBA.
