No travel ball, just a few 21-29 highly competitive Men’s leagues.
6’6”….
I’m dunking off vert I have to measure it though. I usually drive into a pull-up or create separation and shoot. I have a long wingspan and and a quick release.
I had a full ride scholarship to a local Uni and got suspended only two weeks in on some mischief so just went into the workforce after that had affected my mental negatively for a while.


Keep striving.
I had a homie who had a similar story.

Put in the work and get over the emotional factual general idea you could fail.
Then do as well as you can.

You fail till you succeed.

Put your best foot forward.
God speed and good luck.

I was just looking at the numbers and as expected, the odds are ridiculous. An average of 500,000 boys play basketball in high school and only 110 of them will play at least 1 game in the NBA.

And those are high schoolers, you're 27 breh.


Only 3500 players have ever played in the nba.
Yet you can't just knock wind out of his sail.

With the metrics he has. It is not a lot of six.six breh's who can play. If he can play above the rim as a dribble and drive specialist.
Complete with a sick handle.
Plus be a defensive cog
Including shoot at his size.
There is a glimmer of late start hope.
People are forgetting.
nikkaz play like luxury country club white boi's now.
The nba needs a dribble drive dog badly at sg.

So if he puts forth the effort and really ramps.
You would have to look it over.
as a scout at his size.

It seems extra hard to make it these days. Kids are starting so early doing pro style drills since all you have to do search it on youtube. You got to have some special natural gifts on top of all the work.

Basketball is turning into soccer.

Only difference is that soccer talent can be found everywhere. A lot of NBA brehs come from middle class or higher, 2 parent families.

The breh from the 'jects, pulling his family out the hood is being replaced by the light skint/mixed breh whose dad played sports and made sure his son was ready from an early age. Damn near a rich kids sport.

Feel like basketball brehs would benefit from mixing up their training like football players. Most NFL brehs were all-district, all-state etc, in either track, baseball, wrestling, powerlifting...even soccer for kickers. Hoops brehs get the overuse injuries because they pretty much only train basketball...especially this generation.

said pro ball, but the NBA isn’t out of question though. Sounds like your boy’s cousin had some nice experiences but he’s not me so who knows what will happen on the journey
:deadrose: Rooting for you

Not that they’re anybody but I’ve played with the Ball is Life boys down here in Sunrise n put up points on em
