What is the air speed velocity of an unladen European swallow??

[Maga_1]

who is the best player you've ever played against?

Probably Ricky Rubio.
In terms of american players, maybe Ted Scott or scrimmages against ex-NBA players.

[Maga_1]

What is the air speed velocity of an unladen European swallow??

To begin with, I needed basic kinematic data on European swallow species.




Y U No In NBA??

were you sad when you saw my fb pics not in NBA? :lol

[mr beast]

how much time do you spend a day practicing before and after going pro

[LamarOdom]

Who are you? do you play in divI?

[The Ownage]

If you ever make it to the NBA, can you give me a shout out?

[Maga_1]

how much time do you spend a day practicing before and after going pro

It really depends on the teams you play.
As some of you know, i'm from Portugal. Basketball is not very well known here. Still we have a competitive league with a lot of american players.

In junior teams, i played always for two teams. (under 14 and 16, then under 16 and 18, the under 18 and 20.)
When i reached the under 20 team, i was 18 i started practising with the senior team instantly.

My schedules consists always in 3 hours of practising in a day, depending on the games i do weights and shootarounds outside the practices.

[Maga_1]

If you ever make it to the NBA, can you give me a shout out?

I would. ISH is a good day to keep relaxing after a stressing day, and since i have some sleeping problems this keep me good at night.

But it's not going to happen buddy :lol

[Maga_1]

Who are you? do you play in divI?

Not going to answer you. You always confuse me, because i think you are Lamar Doom. :oldlol:

When did you start and what made you want to play basketball?

[code green]

If someone held a gun to your mom's head and threatened to shoot unless you sucked the dick of a man of your choice to completion, who would it be?

[Maga_1]

When did you start and what made you want to play basketball?

I played rolling hockey and soccer until i went to basketball at age 9.

My family (father's side) it's all related to basketball. My father is one of the top coaches in the country and he's currently the president of the club where i start played and my best friend (my cousin) play as pro too here.
Both put the basketball in my hands since a kid and i always looked for them, i guess it was because of that.

[Maga_1]

Do you play any other sports?

Just for hobbie? I enjoy a lot of sports.
I really enjoy play some tennis, swimming or play some flag football (it's true there's people that play football in Europe) :oldlol: .

My friends outside of basketball, always get together to play soccer and sometimes in the Summer i go play with them to keep work out.

That's a tough question because i feel a lot that i should be in America, about a long time ago.
For me it's like people used to said: "Land of opportunities".
I like your culture, i like the way sports are directed to all, i like the people (since i know a lot of americans playing here). I like the way girls are amused by foreigns all the time :lol

In terms of bad things, i don't like the way some people think that "yea we are America we sh!t on everybody, we are better than anybody and there's nothing better outside of US". SOME people are that way, but i guess there's people like that in every country.

True.
Like i said to other poster in private mensage, it really depends on what i decide from my future.

The portuguese champions will play Eurocup, not this season but in 2013-2014 so it's possibly that i can play if we win the championship.
But my main goal is to represent Portugal like i did in junior level and sign a contract outside of Portugal. Got some invitations already.

Like i said, i'm not going to give names. It's way too easy to find personal informations through that kind of stuff. I'm sorry.

Probably Portugal-Spain, it was my first international game and i played against Ricky Rubio and other bunch of ACB guys... truly amazing. Only logged 12 minutes, but it was good.

In terms of actual great game, i got the buzzer beater win in the portuguese final4 under 18 in the 2nd day of competition. Shot a three contest by a 6'7 guy, falling to the others team bench and nailed. In that game i didn't miss a shot and made 6/6 from 3.

Dude, he's given out a lot of personal info in the past, including full name, city of residence and club he plays for. He's a cool and likeable guy, he never posts stupid, talks out of his ass or starts shit with anybody. I don't think anybody will have anything negative to say about him at all around these parts.

Yes. No doubts about that. Point Guard position is probably the worst along side center, the NT head coach is giving some opportunities to young players in this Eurobasket qualification i'm just hoping for one.

Good/big is a lot tough, mainly because there isn't a single player playing in a top team outside of Portugal.

Last season i ended with something like 13/6/3 but i missed almost half of the season with an injury in my ankle.

You're stalking job was a horrible one, you PM'd me about basketball and I answered you and we talked but your whole Taylor stalking mode led you to Saks if I'm not wrong. First of all, I said youth national team and not senior national team. Go back and watch your PM's. I've posted plenty of times already that I'm moving to STUDY at Texas A&M in a couple of days, where did I post that I'd play for the national team in the euro qualifications? :facepalm

And a whole bunch of guys from our youth national team which Jeff was one later played in the swedish basketball league, if I recall correctly we were at least 9 players who later player in the swedish basketball league, including Saks. So your stalking job of 1 player who I'm not was terrible job, don't quit school, stalking and bball is not your thing in life.

And if you were the undersized guard who posted pics with your dad on ISH and some clips recorded by your dad on cam during some random low level game, then there's no way that any colleges at all contacted you, seriously. You wouldn't even fit in the swedish 2nd league if you haven't improved big time, which I doubt, you're here way too often.

When the hell did I say that I play for the swedish NT? I told you that I play for the youth national team and we're at least 9 players from those teams that play or played in swedish basketball league.

I did NOT write that I'm a particular player, you did a pathetic stalking job and you're completely wrong to start with and I did not tell you that I'm going to play the euro Q.

Hell, you're even wrong about that one player, there are four players from our youth national teams up to 18 in our age that currently plays for the NT.

You said I am Saks, I never wrote anything about being him although he is a friend of mine and I've known him since the age of 13.

I told you that I've played for the youth NT and that I play in the basketball league. You did a stalking job to find out who I am and you failed miserably, I did never say that I play for the swedish senior national team. And Saks ain't the only one from our youth NT who plays for the senior national team, they are 4 players.

[millwad]

I don' know what this beef is about but if anyone needs help stalking Jeff Taylor I'm your guy since I live in Charlotte. He's the steal of the 2012 draft imo.


Haha, no, it's ok.

I've played with Jeff when I was younger for the swedish youth national team which I told Maga when he asked me about me playing ball, and that I've played in the swedish basketball league.

I had no idea that he would stalk me on the net, the guy tried to research who I was based on the info I gave him and he tracked down the wrong player.

Jeff is sick, he's going to be dominant, he is scary athletic and definitely a steal. And the best about him is that he's really humble, he is just a good guy with a good heart and not at all the typical macho baller, he is pretty quiet in person and doesn't say too much.

He moved to the states early, his dad is american and a former NBA player so Jeff moved from Sweden so he could study and play for Hobbs which is the same HS his dad played for in New Mexico.

You obviously did considering that you stalked me, anyway, I don't think you did it with bad intentions.

I'm not going to say that you were here all yesterday and today but for being a pro basketball player you're online alot.

And god bless you too, even though I'm not religious. May the basketball gods treat you well and not like me, busted knees at the age of 23. And if you're really good, keep doing your thing, but if you're just going to play in the portoguese league you should do something else with your life. For me it was a blessing to play basketball and even though I didn't get too much money as compensation it still made my life go on easy while studying.

By the way, how much money do you guys get really? I got enough to pay my rent and do what I have to do but getting an education is way better money-wise, a decent job in Sweden has a better salary than what I got..

Do you get enough money to actually live a decent life? I know the salaries in Portugal are lower than the european standard but still.

And god bless you too, even though I'm not religious. May the basketball gods treat you well and not like me, busted knees at the age of 23. And if you're really good, keep doing your thing, but if you're just going to play in the portoguese league you should do something else with your life. For me it was a blessing to play basketball and even though I didn't get too much money as compensation it still made my life go on easy while studying.

By the way, how much money do you guys get really? I got enough to pay my rent and do what I have to do but getting an education is way better money-wise, a decent job in Sweden has a better salary than what I got..

Maybe you don't get as much of a dick as you come across sometimes but let me tell you. You are trying to provoke an argument. If you think you are not, let me tell you - you are. Do you know when Godzuki was in full blown trolling argument mode, he came across as a guy who was more likable than you? Because you never ****ing stop.

The dude said two separate times "God Bless, whatever" and you still feel the need to take a shot. Let him have his thread where he talks about basketball and don't start anything.

You try way too hard trying to be a good guy, you've been in too many silly arguments and silly situations when you tried to tell people off. And you're like 40 years old.. And the only one getting a dick is your wife, and it's not your dick I'm talking about.

And Maga tried to call me out for being a fraud for something I never told him and a made up story and I clearly wrote that I don't think he had any bad intentions doing so.

And read the rest of the freaking post, why are you such a sensitive crybaby?

[Grinder]

Have you ever considered trying out for LEB Plata? I think it would be a good place to hone your skills and move up the European ranks.

Do you get enough money to actually live a decent life? I know the salaries in Portugal are lower than the european standard but still.

I didn't stalk you, but you continue to use that term so it's okay.
The conversation that we had, it's the same that i had with other posters that contacted me via pm.. clearly simple.
Ohh and about posting here, a lot. I already stated that i've some sleeping problems, so between game threads, threads like this and random stuff i enjoy to read what other people say here. Not many people discuss this way, it's the only forum that i frequent.

I make money to live well, i'm not rich by any terms buy i live well above average fortunatelly. You know that economy in Portugal is not good, so for a guy with 21 years old having a solid income every month and don't have to pay for my home it's a true blessing.
Like i said i'm not going to talk in real numbers, and you know why.

Actually portuguese league have a decent salaries, that's why we always have good americans and that kind of stuff.. i talk regularly with some friends playing in other countries and they always say that.

Clearly my goal is not playing here, i'm young. I'm not remarkable in any terms, but i know i can play at decent level in europe (not euroleague of course, at least for now .. or ever) .
I'm just enjoying my ride now, i'm blessed and i'm playing in my hometown and i can support my mother and do what i want and that's my goal now.

We have already talked about that and i told you about the trainning camps that i went in Spain, but like i said i wanted to leave the NCAA option open.
The 2013 Summer is going to be (i expect) my big jump, i'm going to take a lot of consideration for the invites that i had.

[rufuspaul]

Jeff is sick, he's going to be dominant, he is scary athletic and definitely a steal.


I'm hoping he and MKG become the new fire and ice.

[Raz]

Maga, I couldn't find you here:
http://www.eurobasket.com/Portugal/basketball-Players.asp

Unless you're Tiaggo, and that guys was born in 76!

Pretty interesting group of ballers we have on ISH. I can guarantee even without seeing video of Maga or millwad, that both would have beat my pre-injury ass. I got paid travel, and a small per diem. Pretty crappy in comparison to both you and millwad being able to pay rent etc.

Like millwad said, enjoy it now, injuries can take it away pretty quickly. I wish I had taken better care of my knees, not played basketball with a bruised spin on pain killers, and I wish I took better care of my body in general - I really threw my body around a lot on the court.

Do you mind if i ask which teams are interested in you (NCAA)?

Again, as i said.
The Eurobasket stuff is not updated with full rosters, just news :lol
Even the teams are not put in the right places, that team FC Porto .. does not even exist anymore, they closed. It was my team where i won all the in the junior level.

By the way, that veteran that you mentioned is like Bill Lambeer .. he destroyes every player :oldlol:

Where did you played Ced?

Haha, I hate a lot of older players, they lose their speed, and start to foul more. I played pick-up a few months ago for the first time in about 6 months, and I realised I was a dirty player now, haha.

I played in NZ.

If i can recall, 64 i guess. But it was in under 18.
I scored 52 in a game last year, i made a thread about it .. i think it was 52, i'm not quite sure already :lol

[GOBB]

why do u euros enjoy being unshaven? you look like bums, peasants. is it a cultural thing there? do you use deodorant? you ever take a roadside dump as your team travelled to play in another town?

I don't know.
Personally, i have a beard (picture Ricky Rubio) because my gf like it.

I use deodorant before and after practice, and always when after i take a shower. I don't sweat a lot, yea.

OH YES, best dump ever. Just happened once tho.

By the way, if anyone is interested Portugal is playing today against Czech Republic (Vesely's country).

Man.... those re some big numbers for a point guard.
High games for me:
High School 14/15 team: 38 points
High School senior team*: 25 points
Club senior team: 24 points
University A team: 15 points
Local Pro team: 4 points

Notice a trend? Haha. I could score on people at lower levels because I played every position on the court (6'4" as an 18 year old) and I was much more athletic than other people.

I suck at shooting, I always have, if I had your jump shot and no injuries, I think I could have made my national team, and had some good college offers. I made it as far as I did on defense alone, and being able to pass. Defense is all about effort, technique and knowing your opponent. When you combine it with athleticism, it becomes an easy facet of the game to dominate.

I always hate when people talk about the past with a mix of feelings, it must be tough to know deep inside that you couldn't fullfill your entire skills because of injuries or just because they couldn't.
I guess that's the thing that keep my fire.


Defense is the part that i really want to improve, and in terms of body strenght too. Lateral quickness is something that i paid a lot of attention this Summer and working at the weight room too.

From December 2011 to August 2012 i went from 134 to 154lb, which is a big thing for me because i don't tend to gain weight easily.

[chips93]

I saw him play against Kentucky when they won. If he adds a three point shoot and becomes a great defender Charlotte has the new Ariza.

he shot 42% from 3 in college

he should be a good '3&D' guy in the pros, but i dont think hes quite the athlete ariza is

It's okay, I stayed involved in basketball through coaching. I found that really fulfilling. Now that I'm in a new country, I don't coach anymore. I find myself becoming more and more interested in statistical analysis, and writing.

Knowing how much space to give your man is really key on defense, that's why you see guys without great athleticism, quickness or length able to play respectable defense (see: JJ Redick) - I'll get back to you via PM.

[millwad]

I think he is, seriously.

This is even a couple of years ago, personally I dunked when I was 14 years old and it was barely and I was tall, I'm 6'7 now. When we were at a practice when we were 15 or 16 Jeff threw down ridiculous dunks, and he wasn't even that tall, his major growth came later. He is incredibly athletic, easily the most athletic basketball player I've seen and played with/against. In the swedish basketball league we've had some really athletic americans but they don't come close.

Maybe I'm hyping him up too much but you really realize how talented someone is when you play against him and Jeff got it all. defensive skills, offensive skills, really athletic, smarts... I would be really surprised if he would be considered a top 10 rookie next year.

[millwad]

Yeah!

Sweden beat Azerbaijan in the euroqualifications, Jerebko got up to 19 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.. :bowdown:

[Maga_1]

[millwad]

He is in the US preparing for the season, with him they'd be alot better and dynamic. Now Sweden look pretty mediocre, Jerebko and a couple of

Swedish basketball could have been so much better if we would have been a little more lucky. Damir Markota who played his whole career in Sweden before turning pro picked Croatia instead and so did Lampe who is one of europe's best big guys.

But the future is bright for Sweden, Taylor and Jerebko are both getting better for every day that goes and we have some young guys who already are out in Europe.

[lilojmayo]

Yes, 3 DIV I contacted me and 2 DIV II showed interest too.
Not going to give names, sorry.


that's awesome man. I'm going through the same stage now. Its kinda cool having college coaches calling you wanting your services at their institution, it seems by the hour.

You made the right decision for sure to go pro, instead of college in the states.

Hey man, it's the first time i see you here since a long time ago. How is things going, going to USC? (it was that one, right?)

I'm at 5'11, 154lb nows. I guess with some Jordan's i reach 6'0 :lol
Wow about the workout routine, i've been in Hungary for a week and just played yesterday scrimmages with an amateur team and run in the park (i'm watching my girl in the under20 european championship).

In the last month i've been doing this:
Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays - Weights, plyos and shootaround.
Wednesdays and Fridays - Cardio (run in the natural park )and scrimmages (something like 5on5 between pro players mostly for at least 2 hours)

I've been playing a lot of streetball tournaments, 3x3.
We played 5 already, and we won 3 .. good prize moneys so it's cool.

What about you man?

[millwad]

Haha, LilOJMayo is a true work-out freak, his work-outs are freaky, haha.

And tell us, how is your stuff going, I PM'd a long one to you before as a reply but my computer freaked out and so did I because I wrote like a really long text to you and it all got deleted so I closed my laptop in frustration.

So due that crap our communication died out, how is your work-outs going and have any colleges reached out yet in serious ways?

And haha, as a Bobcat fan you can't have many things to be psyched about so I guess a great steal like Taylor is something beyond great! :cheers:

Personally I was pissed that Houston didn't pick him up, and especially considering that I'm going to move to Texas and would have had a close drive to the Rocket games. It would be so awesome to watch him play in the NBA.

There's a long way he went, he was born and raised in a small city who was crowned "Biggest white trash city of Sweden", from biggest white trash city in Sweden to the NBA is awesome! :oldlol:

Maga!nice to hear. keep winning that prize money. You seem to have gotten a little taller, and stronger also. your girl a hooper too? Yeah man, back when we used to talk on ish i was like 6'2.5 and 160 lbs soaking wet. Things have changed

Milwad! its my guru that designed my on/off court workouts. Im a small town blue collared dude. If there is an incline we run it, if you can grip it we we pull it. Results speaks for itself ( on and off court)

I have received 4 offers, to transfer. and about 6-7 head college coaches showed strong interest. I only have a few days decide. I only have 2 years left before i graduate ( June 2014).

My situation is I attend a Division I school. If I transfer to a different Division I school. I have to sit out a year. . If I transfer down a division to Division 2 don't have to sit out a year. and ill start pg at all the schools looking at me. Which is why they have been blowing up my phone calls/voicemails/texts/emails etc.

I'd be cool with waiting another year, if that means getting to play at my current school. Since I wanna graduate from here. Gotta talk to the coaches at my school, now that im getting interest/offers at other schools. I feel im better than alot of the guys on the squad , but gotta prove it . Worst comes, I can see how this school year plays out. And see where I stand going into next summer. I'll still have offers waiting for me next season where I can transfer down a Division, and play right away, but I dont think it will come to that point.

I will play NCAA college ball though because I need it for my basketball resume. It will open alot of doors/opportunites after graduation. Its not if,but when and for who ? Now that I have options.

Its a good story, my story, i'll be able to tell little kids from my small town when It's all said and done. I told my goonz from where I come from. I won't let them down, I'm a dude of my word.

Yea, i had an amazing late growth (even being just 5'11) and weights helped a lot to get stronger specially in upper body since i always had strong legs.
Oh yea, my girl is a pro baller too. She's in the under 20 european championship but she just played in the first round because her and some other had food poision from some eggs that they eat at the hotel. I'm here in Hungary with her parents, she will play tomorrow probably again. I think it's against Italy or Latvia.

Nice to read that things workout for the good bro, really.
Just let me know what you choosed in the end, i would like to keep you on track to see how are you doing next season.
Living the good life, playing ball, chilling with friends and getting some booty .. that's a REAL SUMMER ahaha
