Brian Scalabrine: Sorry, you can not beat an NBA player one-on-one!!

[Draje]

People don’t realize how big an advantage playing and practicing against other NBA athletes is. We see it even amongst the most talented rookies in the league.

Your understanding of pace and speed changes drastically even with a year of experiencing it consistently,

I’ve played pickup with former SEC, BIG 10 hoopers, the gap between your average rec hooper and someone who played at a major D1 school is astronomical

Don’t even get me started on your 15th man on a NBA roster

Kendrick would be Shaq against regular nikkas

Brian is Larry Bird against regular nikkas

This is true.I once played against ex Suns center Mark West at LA Fitness.He had to be around 45 yrs old, but we couldn't do nothing with him.He really did look like a prime Shaq out there.

Not that Muggsy Bogues was a bad player but he must have had insane basketball IQ and athleticism to even compete in a league where the average player is 6'7

My guy Earl Boykins use to son dudes like it was nothing out here in nyc playing pick up basketball… Everyone was taller than him and he gave mofos buckets.. jumpshot wet

A person who for fun can hack his girlfriend’s cellphone is different from someone is hacking financial institutions across, each day.

There is no one who was a D2 player or all state that’s beating an nba player currently on a roster. The nba player is consistently working on their skill set to beat other nba players while the random breh is beating bums at the rec.

I’ll agree 2 disagree, lotta talent out there and all talent isn’t seen

u can’t convince me there’s not hoopers who can’t beat Udonis Haslem 1v1

It’s not just talent. It’s refining your skill set to better the best NBA players, versus tryna score against rec leaguers.

And yes, Udonis Haslem today would bust every non nba player.

Perkins is swatting your shot every time and backing you down every time it’s his possession

Hell there was footage of him looking like Hakeem in a workout. These dudes are different.

 

[El Bombi]

I firmly believe there's nba players that you can beat.

Scal is a skilled big man who's a good shooter. Other than his appearance, I'm not sure why he became the face of this movement.

But gimme Kendrick Perkins and I feel like there's regular ppl who can beat him straight up.

Beaumont Ozen Kendrick Penkins would've killed 99.9% of the population in basketball breh.

 

[JuvenileHell]

smh when are people gonna stop underestimating professionals

 

[Jeshaman]

People mentioning Udonis Haslem and Kendrick Perkins.

 

[Cave Savage]

My guy Earl Boykins use to son dudes like it was nothing out here in nyc playing pick up basketball… Everyone was taller than him and he gave mofos buckets.. jumpshot wet

That's dope. I bet that even at his current age, he could go to any pick up game and dominate

 

[Big Boss]

Kendrick would be Shaq against regular nikkas

Brian is Larry Bird against regular nikkas

facts

 

[FunkDoc1112]

If you don’t bow down and say it’s a 0% chance anyone could possibly beat anyone who has ever made an NBA roster and submit that you should be ashamed for even entertaining such a thought, people gonna go crazy lol. You have to bow down to every athletes greatness and respect their place as one of the worlds greatest and not dare hint at them being able to be challenged by someone not in their ranks. That’s how it’s goes on here.

nikka this ain't TV

You can believe in yourself all you want, but there's some things that effort just aren't pulling off.

 

[FAH1223]

I played basketball for the first time in a year this week...

I would NEVER think I'd be able to beat an NBA player who was the 15th guy on the roster. Hell, I've played pickup against college players... I ain't deluding myself

I had my reality check when I air balled two threes in front of Tyron Lue when the Cavs had a scrimmage at Wright Patt Air Force Base.

Airballed the first, Lue passed it back said shoot it again.

Airballed that bytch again, got hit with the
