Being Tall at the Basketball Court Unaprreciation

[Killer Instinct]

at this thread.

6'3 and wasn't even the tallest guy on my HS team, so I was pretty much always able to develop as a guard. In general I'm always one of the tallest on the court at the rec, but my perimeter game is nice so I'm never really asked to get down low. I usually always hit the gym at college with one of my good associates that's damn near 6'8. Dude isn't that coordinated nor good, but his height poses an issue in the post, and he loves playing down low. All in all I'm able to live out my Shaq & Kobe fantasy, so it's a win/win. I enjoy posting up guys and using footwork/fadeaways when they're smaller, though.

thats why i didnt play basketball. That shyt was wack and boring. Then these fakkits who cant shoot never pass. fukk them.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

But I like to roam on defense

If a tall nikka got a good all around solid game, then it's straight. It's just that some dudes be false advertising with they height. You expect them to be able to do simple post moves or at least be decent in the paint and its some other shyt, like their natural advantage is their biggest weakness.

Aint nothing like seeing some 5'10 nikka herbing up some tall ass nikka in the paint. shyt is and at the same time.

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.

Im always the tallest, and even tho I can bully the block easy. I like to score from the perimeter its way more fun. Theres nothing fun about the post, and you nikkas talking about overpowering taller nikkas and getting off on it Some tall nikka prolly took your girl

I hate when short nikkas (Im skinny and 6 foot 3, played WR in high school) try to tell me how to ball...it's too late now nikkas, when I was young and wanted to learn, you short motherfukkers would ball hog all day and have me like

But now I'm older and dont give a fukk, If you give me the ball and I'm at the three, fukk it, Imma miss it, but I'm gettin payback for your ballhogging past on some IDGAF

typa shyt.




Tall fellas can you feel me ?

 

[BruhMayne]

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.

No tall nikka has taken a woman from me, taller nikkas (6"5 and up) not playing in the post offends me. Unless you're a D1 level player you have no reason to be out there taking jumpers, it is a waste of height. Me abusing taller dudes in the post is just my way of passing on the legacy set forth by Charles Barkley, who routinely abused taller dudes and imposed his will on them.

It's about letting you know just how much of a female you are, men play on that low block

Shut yo lil dikk projecting ass up the point is we are not a real squad aka ill do what the fukk i see fit on the court. Whats someone like you gonna do yell at me Ill just stop rebounding and have you beat your children for no reason

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

If a tall nikka got handles, can shoot, pass, play the post and dunk, sheitttt.....nikka I'm a make sure you get the ball. You'll prolly be MVP, but real talk I hardly run into them type nikkas though, but when you do....


If you got a solid post game, all that extra shyt is like icing on the cake. Everyone's biggest gripe are the cats who wanna do everything else but can't do what should be simple and natural for them and their height which is post up game.

Tall nikkas with no post game = fine chicks with big lips that give wack head

It's like its there just for show.

Apparently you were raised without a father figure in your life, no father would allow his son to wonder about the next mans dikk, just as no father would allow his son to play the p*ssy brand of basketball like yourself.

@ "stop rebounding" you doing John Amaechi numbers under them boards, don't even ask me how.

@ your ankles and arms being the same size, no malnourished looking nikka could ever tell me shyt on the court. Elbow to bird chest, no moves, no flair, just straight up snot bubbles out your nose everytime down the court.
