Being Tall at the Basketball Court Unaprreciation

[lachreyatarbabypits]

I'm 6'5 and skinny. Why the hell do I always have to be the "big man" when I hoop

nikkas be like "hold down the post big man" I'm skinny as hell, fukk that shyt. I got decent handles, and my mid range is Kobeesque (ok, it;s alright) I'm not trying to be Ben Wallace

Then, when you be killing on the rebounds and tip ins and shyt, nigaas wanna complain about your height. Saying shyt like, you only doing that cause you tall It's not my fault b.

And some stupid short motherfukker will be like "If I had your height, I'd be dunking all on nikkas, I'd be in the NBA, blah,blah,blah" I'm constantly having to explain to nikkas that I would be a 1 or 2 in the NBA. Can't win for losing.

Forreal. nikkas always expect the tallest one to be the big amn and for u to play D against 5 ppl at once.

Damn, Wilt. It's like that?

I feel like I do a good job of mixing up the inside and outside game (tho if i'm going up against a just outta prison ass nikka like you i'm strictly on my rip hamilton steez) but i'll be damned if i'm not taking a 5'8 bamma to the timothy duncan school of fundamentals.

ain't nothing fun about playin in the post. The fukk i'm come to the gym and run up and down the court five times without touching the ball like i'm running suicides for.
i came to play pick up and have fun, what kind of lame ass wants to spend an afternoon getting elbowed in my chest/back, get 1 or 2 buckets each game and watch everyone else run around.

fukk that, i came here to get mine too

*snatches rebound and slaps the ball extra loud*
*ignores lil guy's plea for the ball*
*catches 1st dude off guard with a crossover*
*gets stripped from behind by opposing pg*
*easy bucket other team, Game*
*5'7 guard tries to hit me with the *
*5'8 guard hits me with the *

nikkas don't understand. A nikka be having to take those frustration shots cause nikka expecting you to be Roy Hibbert on the court

As soon as you grab the rebound, some 5'9 nikka in ya face clapping for the ball and shyt

nikkas cherry picking and getting mad when you don't throw the full court outlet pass

Today was the first time I hooped in a year. ( broke my foot, had surgery and got 2 screws in my foot last time I balled)

I can't go hard like I used to, so I had to rely more on my outside game

My mid rang never left

I'm too tall, I just be shooting over nikkas. Since I don't have my stamina back yet, I think I might stay out the paint, because it can get physical in there

 

[ZEupTWN]

Just keep at it bro its gonna be tough mentally and dont push yourself to hard...you'll get fully adjusted in no time


I'm 6'3-4 and i love surprising niiggas with my versatility(pause)....I just hate the hypocrisy, some dude the other day got mad at me for missing a fadeaway at the top of the key taling about im to be big to be shootin that shoot....yet he just bricked two contested three's smh, but thats streetball for you

one of my homeboys brother is a 6'6 stocky dude who was a D1 wing....
he be having nikkas mad as shyt on some "thats not even far shiit" especially the oldheads

If you're taller than most people on the court You supposed to be in the paint.If not you should be doing this

But I'm too skinny to bang (no homo) and I'm most effective in the mid range area, like MJ

Me and Mike the same height

 

[JP_614]

6"4 being able to dunk and post up defenders is the goat if you know some post moves imo and have some iq

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Went to the Y this morning and proceeded to hang out on the perimiter and took nothing but semi contested jumpers and elbow fadeaways

I held it down in the paint on the defensive end though with mad blocks and rebounds. Of course some short nikka had to complain and hit me with the, "If I was 6'10 (I'm only 6'5) I would be dunking the ball every time, blah, blah, blah"

Feels good to be back (had took over a year of from hooping from a broken foot) playing regularly with that mid range shawty game

 

[YaThreadFloppedB!]

There's nothing more emasculating on the basketball court than to post some skinny nikka up and hear him say "helppppp!!!"

you a ruthless nikka

 

[AJtheOne]

I adjust my game to fit who ever I'm playin against or playin with. My J is my greatest weapon, I can shoot from all over the court. I don't settle for jumpers all game, I like to impose my will on the inside a bit cuz I'm tall and I can finish around the rim pretty well . I regardless by scoring in many different ways givin the other team fits

If the players your playin with are shorter than you, you should be by getting a lot of rebounds, putbacks, and easy shots all together (having a post game is always good).

nikka you got a sweet jumper with range and you talking bout getting putbacks and shyt

fukk them short nikkas, you need to do what you do best. Don't let them nikkas hold back the development of your game. You could be sharpening up that J some more instead of wasting your talents in the paint

Look at nikkas like Andrea Bargnani. That nikkas is 7 feet and average like -3 rebounds per game. nikka just be hanging around the perimeter like

It's all about that mid range game. Playing in the paint be tiring a nikka out

I'm around 6'2.5/6'3 and this happens every time I play pick up man. It doesn't help that I had an early growth spurt so all my youth coaches had me learn post moves. Smh I had to work on my jump shot on my own cause they wasn't playing that.
