Being Tall at the Basketball Court Unaprreciation

[RiffRaff]

I don't have to deal with this shyt in Houston usually. But in San Antonio were the average height for hispanic males seems to be about 5'7 it's like night and day

That's ok because I play my role the first game and let those midgets know why we won, then I do whatever I want the next game, win or lose.

That nikka really don't get up tho

I know, but he can do the basic 1 hand and 2 hand jams, none of that extra funny shyt. And he will dunk that bytch when wide open, with the rare dunk in traffic. That's pretty much my dunking scouting report

 

[Roadie pipeher]

nikka been guarded by a 5'9 dude and wants to chuck jumpers at the perimeter ...that's the shyt iont like...

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

If you have a son and he ends up being 7"0 280lbs, and you teach him a finesse game and how to shoot jumpers....I will find you

 

[Ayatollah Watts]

I'm in the same boat, except I have a mean post game (developed since my athleticism peace'd out)... my only issue with being tall is most people look at me and assume because i'm tall and black they can throw me oops that are meant for NBA players..

So when they do and I watch it sail over my head they look at me like and i'm like

I'm 6'4" and in the same boat but I've gotten used to it. LOL @ me being the tallest person on my high school basketball team. Imagine my ass playing center against future division 1 prospects.

I feel you Malta, but playing Center in rec ball is a thankless job. nikkas want you to rebound, play D, and never ask for the ball. fukk that. nikkas out there chuckin up contested threes but wanna yell when you don't jump over two people to get their rebound. The only good part about playing in the post is that most of the time cats can't fukk with you if they're shorter. But if you're skinny, nikkas need to stop assuming you can just back anybody down and go to work.


I always play point when I'm hoopin with the white boys tho. Cuz I'm still easily the best dribbler on the court.

Demand the ball, bytch.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

If youre 6'5 and you are by far the tallest player on the team, then you need to operate primarily in the low post. at least at the elbow and always crash hard. but you probably shoot a 18 footer and jog back

im 6'0 205 and i often have to guard bigs in the post cuz of clowns like you, who then, in turn, expect me to handle the ball and set them up for shots you bein 6'5 and havin no post game is fine, but you not even tryin to play down there is

I laughed because this shyt is true

One of the worst things ever in pick up bball is 6'3-6'5 nikkas who allergic to the fukking post.

Like got dayum, that shyt will ruin ya afternoon balling experience like a muthafukka. Ole, tall for no reason ass nikkas. The sad thing is when they do man up they control the game and make it easier for everyone else. Eventually when ya'll team leading you can start demanding the ball more and do ya lil jumpers here and there and spin move crosses and shyt, but at least hold down the paint first. Is that so hard to ask for?

I hate when it's early in the game and the tallest nikka want the ball only to act like he T-Mac or some shyt.

Another thing is when the tall frail nikka whose 6'4 wants the next tallest nikka on the team who only like 5'10 or 5'11to be the center just because they more solid built or muscular. Like that extra 25 lbs is gonna make a difference guarding the opposing team center who has like a 5 inch height advantage. Like bytch get ya tall ass over there and guard they center.

this why i hated playing pick up games when i was younger, that's all they wanted me to do. At times I just go play outside the box and shoot. Never considered myself playing down low in the box

But I like to roam on defense

 

[humble Hermit]

being 5'9.75 and blocking nikkas 6 plus inches taller than you >>>>>>


Tall nikkas can't back me down, Tall nikkas can't back me down, Tall nikkas can't back me down cause I, don't be letting them.

 

[Rich Spirit]

that's why I always prefer to play flag football over basketball, cuz you know in football that ball is coming to you always
