Funny shyte!

I'm 5'10" and I've always had an issue with gravity. I was a FB player, wrestled, and played some baseball. Played some 5/5 full court ball- used to play against a bunch of cops on the weekends, many years ago.

Handles- 3 Got better as I got older, to the point where I was not an embarrassment, but I was better off the ball. Would wilt against real pressure.

Defense - 7 The wrestling helped, I had good lateral movement and I was good at staying in front of and dogging an opponent. I could be posted up, but would battle for position. At a certain point, though, the quicker guys would cause me trouble. Had a lot of pride in my D, though. Dave Debusschere was my favorite Knick growing up. From my own playing I've come to realize that D is over 50% mental toughness and desire. When I was in wrestling shape I was pretty tenacious.

Shot- 2/7.5 Unless I was playing 1/1, I was very limited going to the basket, and was poor with my left hand, although that got better later on. I would rarely score inside against larger opponents. I was a pretty good midrange jump shooter, though- spotting up and off the dribble. Used to practice a lot of shooting when I was a supervisor at a recreation program. Actually hit 55 and 44 foul shots in a row- and I had to get the ball back myself. My range was limited- I was most accurate inside the HS 3pt line. Tried to copy Bill Bradley in terms of moving to get open- JJ Redick might be a better example today, but I needed space to get my shot off, since I did not jump well. A good defender who could keep up with and stay in front of me would really limit my value offensively.

Playmaking- 2=3 I was not unselfish, but I was not a good enough ball handler and did not see the court will enough while dribbling to be a good distributor. I was a liability on a fast break.

Rebounding - 2-3 I was tough in terms of boxing out, and had enough strength to annoy some folks who didn't understand boxing out, but I did not have the height or jumping ability. I was a better rebounder in 3/3 games, but still nothing to write home about.

Similar to this but with better defense and worse handles.

Defense - 7 , I'll guard anyone trying to post me up, or at least I'll make it real hard to score on me in the post, on the perimiter I can't do nearly as much. I do reach in sometimes which most of the time results in a foul unless I can get my hand on the ball.

Shot- 5, have some post moves, can hit the Tim Duncan bank shot, but I prefer to pass

Playmaking- 6 , I like to pass

Rebounding-7 I will box out, will fight for position, but I cannot really jump

I am 6'2 220, so I am usually the biggest guy, and that's because the hoops that I play at rarely attract anyone bigger

I played as a center throughout organized ball but am only 6'4"... kind of a man w/o a true position. I do have an array of defensive tricks to throw you off your game though. Don't get a lot of ball in anymore due to plantar fasciitis though, unfortunately

Handles - 5. Even when I played in college I was never a dribbling freak. More like a b line driver with quickness

Defense - 8. This is simply a gift. I have long arms (6-5 wingspan) and still hv great lateral quickness. I also anticipate well

Shot - 8. This is probably the only thing that has improved with time. I guess because I concentrate on my mechanics more.

Rebounding - 7. Above average mainly because I'm the tallest. But I also box out well

Playmaking - 2. Besides setting good picks for others, I'm basically a stand in the corner 3pt Option. Lol

Average 6.22...above average player at this point. Comparison pre-Crack Lamar odom.

pet peeves
1. I hoop in harlem and guys are always playing. But why are these teens high all the time. They're like 6-6 kids who are physically great but smoke
2. Why do the tall guys try to be perimeter players?
3. It's already hard to stomach this and 1 street crap but what's up with these styles. These kids wear mismatched pink and purple gear. Smh

Handles - 5 I've got basic skills. One really good crossover move. I keep it simple.
Defense - 8 This is my strong suit. I trick kids all the time cuz they don't think i'm quick enough at this age.
Shot - 6 Worked on my shot and still not great but much better now than when I was young.
Rebounding - 5 Not bad for a short guy.
Playmaking - 6 Decent passer but no Jason Kidd.

To be honest i'm just glad that I can still play at all. Knees are OK. Not really pushing my limits anymore. Gotta coast at this age.
