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

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:gag:

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:jawalrus:

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

You never want to just be out there just settling for jumpers being one dimensional breh, then what happens when you start missin:pachaha:.
That's just not my game breh, look at :mjpls: and :childplease: they both have great Js but they don't settle for them all the time. You gotta take what the defense gives you and exploit mismatches. Being versatile is always tough for the defense to guard word to :gladbron:.

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.

I'm :blessed: that my Dad taught me how to shoot at an early age

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 :birdman:
I will say this, though breh...

Zone defenses, thirsty guards who can't/won't make post-entry passes (seriously, the best post passers are post players themselves, it's a lost art), lack of post play teachers, lack of patience (takes 2-3 good years to craft a legit post game) and it not being flashy (the fans/hoes will marvel at a 30 point game, but not give two fukks about the big dog who got 19+ boards) led to the post player being an endangered species.


But watching dudes like Roy Hubert and Al Jefferson do work in the post is a sign that legit bigs aren't extinct.
:blessed:

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

I just came from balling in this Army league near DC. I'm 6'2, 6'3 with a short neck, so I'm really a 6'4, 6'5 dude as far as ability. I have a 6'10 wingspan. I can rebound like no other. Seriously. And I play good paint defense. I'm the tallest on the team, no one else plays any defense. I get about 15 boards a game. I'm really a swingman/slasher type, but I'm been forced to play center. I'm like a Shawn Marion type, swing 3 type, but I have to defend the biggest dude on their team. Usually a 6'5/ 6'6 dude. :no: I be too wore out to play offense in the 2nd half.

I'm 6'0 but I always played the 4 or 5 throughout school and AAU since we had a short school district, so my handle isn't the greatest (my jumper is :obama:though) & i'm most comfortable in the post. I got hops and know how to box out so I always grab boards in pickup games. My post game is immaculate, i got the Kevin McHale up & under game and can jump hook with either hand.
I hate playing with shyt pg's. These nikkas will watch you score every time you get the ball & then look you off the next possesion so they can turn the ball over on some dumb shyt. You'll have whoever guarding you backed under the rim and he won't feed the post :damn:. But then he'll shoot a fadeaway 3 that bricks off the side of the backboard. fukk yall short nikkas:shaq2:

Feed the post :birdman:
