OT: You, the Baller

[rsavaj]

Rsavaj you remind me of my friend he has other "demensions" but you have same playing style, and he has great sense of humor too. He is 6.3 and 280 lbs so that prrety much makes him ungardable I had a good laugh just reading your description because you do exactly the same thing that my friedn does hehe. I can see your sense of humor just by reading you post Keep it up man

Your friend and I should team up and become the "Twin Towers" part deux

[TASTIC]

wait til SDU says his measurements...big daddy haha

[eastsidecrossover]

SDU is a stud, and HUGE! What is he, 6'7" or so? Hes like MJ, but from Australia, likes to drink and post, and is white. Hes going to be the president of Australia someday.

Nah walkingart, Im not Jason, and a little older than him. 28.

Mtn View HS in Mesa won it all my senior year. They had a freakn college team. If I remember correctly, it went like this.

Pg – 5’10”
Sg – 6’2”
Sf – 6’6”
PF – 6’9”
C – 7’1”

Backup C/F was 6’10”, and some crazy sharp shooters. Good team tho.

[TASTIC]

WOW...

Thats a hell of a team...to put it in perspective here, in NZ:

I would say there are approx 5-10 7 footers who play BBall...in the WHOLE country...Marks is the most famous Kiwi baller...Kirk Penney...Mark Dickel from UNLV...Craig Bradshaw from Winthrop...

I remember if you were 6'6" or taller at HS you were a C, thats all. Heck the team my HS trotted out that won nationals in my first year had no-body over 6'6"...they had a 5'8ish PG, and maybe two guys over 6'4", if that...We just play hard and hussle, we're rugby players!!

I find it funny when 5`11, 6`0 plus people only have skills that a low tier 7 foot NBA center would have. I`m only 5`5 without shoes and have to work for any points I can get and can`t just use height advantage like many players do.

Just in High School. Currently enrolled as Free Agent in city league right now. Will stay in FA pool until I am back in game shape. I have to trim off 8lbs and focus back on cardio. My "game" is still there, just need to retrain endurance.

Kelenna Azubuike

[Sun Scorched]

Height/Weight
6'1'' / 180lbs

Position
PG through SF, I play larger than I look.

Strengths/Weaknesses
Strengths:

Speed - I also ran Track.
Stamina - I also ran Cross Country.
Toughness - Not afraid to battle guys much larger than myself down-low.
Penetration - I'll take the easiest points possible, thanks.
Passing - If I had better court vision this would be a better stength of mine, I am very selfless.
Off-Ball Movement - I love screens and picks... just not the elbows I often take in the chest as a result.

Weakness:

Court Vision - I tend to lower my head when I am driving.
Range - My range decreased substantially when I fell in love with my first-step.
Verticle - All though years of foot-to-pavement killed the spring in my step.

Leagues you have played in (lets say since around high school (age 15-16)
I got cut from freshman try-outs in high school. Took it personally. Lot of select play.

Comparison to a current NBA player (any talent level of player, just to compare your playing style)
Shawn Marion - In terms of the intangibles and how he was always the first down the court on both ends. Gotta love the hustle.

[b-ball forever]

Man, it's been a while (sth like 1.5 years) since I've played b-ball.
Used to play pickup games more often in my high-school days, but didn't ball much recently cuz of work and various hobbies.

Anyways, when I'm in game shape :

Height/Weight
6'0 foot, 73kg (basically only muscle, barely got any body fat even tho I eat like a T-Rex)

Position : Forward

Strengths :

-Hard-nosed/Physical defense. I can do a good job guarding bigger peeps then me in the post, and have (when I'm in game shape) the lateral quickness it takes to stay in front of quick swingmen.
-Posting-up peeps my size or smaller.
-Energy/Hustle
-Toughness
-Hook shots with my back to the basket.
-Good Jumper from my hot spots (off the window from the mid-range corner areas, or from near the post).
-Rebounding
-Above average athleticism (minus the vert), and pretty good quickness/speed

Weaknesses :

-My left hand. I can dribble with it occasionally, but can't shoot with it for shiyt.
-Shooting from outside of my hot-spots.
-Streaky scorer
-Ball-handling skills below average
-Not a good leaper

Leagues you have played in :
Used to play in the HS team league way back in junior high school, except for that I've only balled in pick-up/street games.

Comparison to a current NBA player :

Uh, lets say some sorta James Jones/Alando Tucker combo
