Wow! someone who is/was a pro, is naturally gifted, eats, lives, breathes and works in a sport can wash a regular nikka at that sport :ohhh:

Like, y’all just as stupid as the people y’all talk about. Why would anyone with any common sense even play into that silly ass shyt unless they just wanted to argue about something :mjlol:

This like taking someone serious who say they can knock out a gorilla or some shyt. Like just laugh at the clown and Kim. Dramatic ass nikkas...

As someone who has played with and against a couple of NBA players (while we were in college), I don’t wanna say the athleticism gap was so wide (because I was a pretty damn good athlete when I was younger), but what separates them is the skill combined with that athleticism. When you combine their knowledge of the game (knowing how to get to their spots, anticipation on defense, etc), it’s a wrap. It’s one thing to run fast, but it’s another to be able to think ahead. If you’re playing pickup with a bunch or regular people, you see a lot of indecisiveness or jacking up shots. With pros, the game just moves quicker. I remember when I went to my first live NBA game, and it almost seemed choreographed.

Yup



watching on television gives a false appearance imo.

I remember watching nhl on tv and i was :ehh: when I went to a game I was like :dahell: how fast these players moved

Same with the nba on tv yeah you know their big and athletic etc. but when you go to a game the speed the finesse is cray
