I did and I was a good basketball player. Played on varsity as a sophmore and all that but by senior year between playing for school and summer league it became like a job and I lost my focus. I became more concerned with right now money looking at the hard heads I grew up with. I became more concerened with being fly (jewelery, clothes, swangas, etc.) and less concerned with hoopin.

I regret not switching to football. I was fast as hell. In gym, the regular dudes would play against the football kids all the time. I got nikkas with that first step everytime and I could sniff the ball on D. It's nothing in the world as sweet as snatching the pass out another nikka's hand and hauling that shyt back
Coach saw me and pulled me aside. I remember going up the hole one game in gym and this 6"4 dude and all 200lbs of him barreled into my lil 5"8 ass. Felt like I got smacked with a large slab of cement
I told coach I wasn't with that sh*t. If I could have dealt with getting hit, I think I could have got a scholarship to a small uni. D3/HBCU. Nothing major.
It's all good though. I got an academic scholarship instead

I thought the thread who had dreads growing up. 
Everynight I go to bed I hope I wake up with long heavenly locks.

as for me I had an ill crossover and I was real good at defense (my jumpshot needed some work tho
). I actually started hoopin at age 7/8, I played in Middle School on the team and I was sure I was gonna make the high school team BUT i went to the cardiologist to see if I could play and they said with my heart condition it was best that I didn't play organized ball 
. I was pissed at first but like I said in the OP, I figured I'd rather live a long life and focus on something else than to possibly collapse and faint on the court 
I still hoop like twice a week.
