I hope this doesn't turn into another "player A shouldn't be in the nba and could be beat by a street cat" debate.

NBA players are so ******* good man.

If people at the local gym realized the gravity of what you posted. It always gets me when people say I should be at a,b,c but x,y,z happened.

How about those dudes who claim they would be in the NBA if they were 4 inches taller

i'd definitely be in the NBA if i were 18 inches taller though. 

 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I can't remember if it was on NT but someone tried to convince me that Kevin Durant was just a 2 inch taller Kevin Martin 

 

[reboot24]

 
Yea after this vid its like na son just na

Dude is bias as heck.  He's playing w/ rejects filmed during the VHS, beta VHS days. lolz.  On the real though, anyone that knows basketball, knows you're supposed to look for mismatches.  He used his size to bully his way in.  By doing so, it shows that he understand the game.  A lot of guys do not know this.

How did the talk about height come into play?  LOL

Sounds like you guys are trying talk about manhood or something.  I don't think height matters in those regards, what matters is utilizing your strengths.  

 

[suberzat1]

I could make it at my height but dude said an extra 4 inches so why not

 

[nelson999]

Chris Paul would get past the 2nd round if he were my height

 

[sea manup]

i would have made the nba if i wasnt trapped in the drug game

Have you ever played organized basketball? Or been around dudes who really was about that hoop dreams life? The 6'1 combo guards, or 6'5 bigs and everything in-between. Height (size) is a huge factor in basketball. Im not saying they're right and they would be in the L if they were taller but that's like one of the top reasons hoopers give for not going as far as they should have. The other two excuses are not focusing on school to get grades to play and they were affect by some kind of injury.

Imo even if they were 4 inches taller or whatever their ideal height is, making the L is a looooong shot.

Being the top 1% in the world at whatever you do is a long shot, let alone the 2nd most played sport in the world

80's is winning that. NOT CLOSE

Kawhi still hasn't got the Ceasar cut. Boy trippin', come on Man

 

[sea manup]

Charles was cool, had the whole, Shut Up and Jam attitude that made him who he was. But he‘s now a soft gerogien foremen type of dude. He was a beast tho. He out did guys because of his fiestyness, like C Oakley. You dont even have to be physically gifted to do well, then again, you have freaks of nature that can‘t capitalize.

bravelude byke? 

 

[a-friend]

The fact of the matter is the Celtics are still undefeated with Kendrick Perkins in the starting line-up

I still laugh when I think about Doc saying that ish

Have the Clippers signed Perk yet?

This I understand, and to various degrees. I‘m just trynna cite the fact that just because you are physically gifted, it doesn‘t mean a darn thing. I know what you mean though. What I‘m trynna suggest is that it takes skills to excel and sometimes that skill trumps on paper attributes. Too much video games. Yall forget how JJ Barera came in for those minutes and made guys silly.
