At the Gully interview

Sad.

no shade to booger but salute to Skip 2 my Lou for having a 10 year pro career. He realized teams wasn’t going to let him play the flashy style he was natural at so he became a solid fundamentally sound PG. He was holding back what he could do in the league don’t get it twisted.

This is true but it was funny in the beginning of the video that Boog wasn't giving any props to Skip or Sham. He was like "nah i was nicer than them , go ask them lol"
Crazy bc Boog definitely coulda had a nice career in the NBA like Skip just from the highlights he even had in the soul in the hole movie

make you wonder why these streetball guys and even the And 1 guys like Main Event or Hot Sauce could never break into the NBA

They have a lot of talent

Also these interviewers legit made dude cry about his daughter.....hope he gets up with her and meets her after this. That would be a good story

Having handles doesn't mean you could make it to the NBA. I doubt Hot Sauce could've made it.

Kyrie talked about this (i think in the and1 doc). It takes a lot of discipline to make it and stay in the NBA, and I don't know if all of those streetballers had it. You also need to be tall enough for your position (pause). Ron Attest said that he tried to get Alimoe a spot on the pacers. Not everyone's game really could transfer to the NBA/college.

Booger was selling crack and not going to school. He did have height issues going against him, but he definitely had a shot at the NBA if he wasn't in survival mode.

Yeah, also people forget that Skip played D1 basketball at Fresno State (coached by Tark). So he developed organized basketball skills against competition at high level.

And he honed his skills enough once he made the league to have a solid career. I know a few area legends* who got tryouts, 10 day contracts, summer league level and there are lots of former college players fighting to get into the NBA. A few pro level players said that Hot Sauce had poor showings in pro-ams.

Skip said something when he was on the And1 tour. He said even though he was a pro and came from their world, that NONE of the players picked his brain or asked him questions about how they could get into tryout or camps.

What dudes said about height is real.,The And1 bigs like Main Event are nba 2 guard size ,

*Players on roster who don't get playing time use practices as games and go HARD against the starters. Skip used to DESTROY Sam Cassel when they were on the Bucks. According to what they told me.

I went to HS at the same time and played pickup against him alot. He didnt have the offense game or physical size to be D1. His handle was disgusting tho . Once they were blowing teams out he would just go harlem globetrotters on cats
