Can a Role player light up the rec league?

[jack612blue]

let's say Steve Blake he's a good height, not too tall not too short.

He's only good at shooting 3's. So if you take away that, he's virtually useless right?

[imdaman99]

steve blake would light us all up. he is good enough to be in the nba, that makes him better than all of us

Blake would average 40ppg 0ast and 25rpg

[JerryWest]

If you and your snot nose friends played a NBA caliber player 5x5, he would dismantle your hearts, dreams, and aspirations of ever playing basketball again. You probably would not ever want to see another basketball in your life. He would deflate your little, "I'm on par with the elite athletes of the world", attitude faster than he would deflate the ball and yell, "SO WHO'S THE SCRUB NOW!"

These guys are professionals at what they do. The boundary between amateur and professional is extraordinary. They breath basketball.
this.

[andremiller07]

You would trash you to the point where you would never think about picking up a basketball again.

[Money 23]

Ummm, yes. Clearly. Can tell you have never seen an NBA kat play in person.

They would light up D league, Euroleague (Anthony Parker = GOAT there), D1 college teams.

NBA players are the best of HS, the best of College, or other Pro Leagues.

They would do to your Rec League what Kyrie Irving did to UrkelBrook and OKC in the 4th quarter tonight.

They'd be swaggin all over you. I played with Will Bynum one time, and my god ... never seen such dominance in my life.

[sundizz]

You are an idiot :applause:

[TheMarkMadsen]

Steve Blake the guy who led his team to a division 1 national championship and was a solid role player for mutliple years in the NBA?

Yeah he'd murk anybody and everybody in a rec league.

Question like these are stupid

[Lebron23]

The worst player in the NBA is the best player in the recreational league.

i bet you i could take lebron james 1 v 1

Just because he can only shoot 3's against NBA defenses does'nt mean he can't rain 3's on your head nor does that mean he can't rebound against you or your friends. He would chase down your layups like Lebron, Dunk on your head like KD because you can't get high enough to defend it. Face it, he's in the NBA and that makes him one of the best basketball players in the world.

If i got a dollar for every time someone asked this stupid question, i'd be a billionaire.

[inclinerator]

joel anthony averaged 50 points in college

[HardwoodLegend]

My athleticism is damn near world class from a Track & Field standpoint.

I bet I could D up on some NBA scrubs. Put the clamps on JJ Barea.

It wouldnt matter how fast you are, because the "scrubs" would cross you over so hard you would tear your acl, mcl, and ur ****in ********.

Just because they are scrubs in the nba, does not mean they are good. Barea would cross you up so good, and besides, most NBA point guards, if not all, are world class athletisism

[Pushxx]

Delusional.

NBA players are among the one thousand best basketball players in the entire world. Steve Novak would push you around like a ragdoll and Steve Nash would make you think he's a Gary Payton-level defender.

[imdaman99]

im sure the majority of WNBA players would light us up.

[Bcogswell]

This question again? :facepalm

[kNicKz]

This, it's crazy how professionals are disrespected. They are as good at basketball as surgeons are at operating, think about that...wanna step in and do a surgery? You'd be as lost on an NBA court

I've played against some d1 girls and I smoked them. The strength difference is too much to overcome. I was able to box out for every rebound or push them underneath the basket for literally every rebound. You feel really bad putting in effort.

And I'm only 6'. No disrespect, but let's not compare women athletes to men in a sport like basketball.

[The Iron Fist]

Some people just don't realize the excellence that is a professional athlete.

They are worlds beyond the rest of us in terms of what they are physically capable of doing.

Are you 12 years old?

I hope so for your sake, because this is a stupid thread and I don't say this lightly.

Not only would Blake destroy everybody there, he'd do it without much effort. I've played against players that got invited to try out for pro teams, and they obliterate everybody. Players that played a season or two overseas and are currently in their early 40s and are still faster, stronger, quicker, smarter than any 20 year old..... in their SANDALS!!!!

It Mark Jackson walked into most rec leagues or gyms, he'd be their MVP, YES coach Mark Jackson.

These guys are pros for a reason

[Beebo]

Steve Blakes career high is 25pts (yeah nothing to go crazy about); can you drop 25 in an NBA game?? Bet most of us couldn't do that even in a D-league game

[midatlantic09]

Yea, Steve Blake would destroy everyone. I played against a guy who was a starting guard for Florida International during the early 2000s and he smoked everyone, so if a guy like that can destroy in a rec league, I'm 100% sure anyone on an NBA roster can.

[JerryWest]

Any role player from a 3 point specialist down to the garbage man, will tear down any rec league.

heck I went to college at a DII school and the best player of that team (who was good enough to play in a Holland pro league) "played" against the regular at the school rec center.

It was funny watching the other guys go hard knowing it was the player from the team, but the player just ran almost lethargically as if to say, "I'm here to break a sweat and get the blood flow moving and maybe make one layup."

And that's a NCAA DII player!

It's so tiring watching ISH members talk about how so and so "sucks"....

To even sniff a chance at an NBA roster as an undrafted free agent, it's brutal battle of will amongst those who have guaranteed contracts agaisnt those undrafted or second rounders. It's tough as hell.

Basketball fans aren't the smartest people :lol

When fans see players barely get playing time or playing badly, they probaly think "oh i can take him 1on1! derp!"

They don't think about the difficulty of even getting a contract or getting drafted :facepalm

joel anthony = prime wilt Chamberlain of rec league.

joel anthony = prime wilt Chamberlain of rec league.


Bo Outlaw used to demolish rec leagues and was dropping 40+ points at Venice Beach on a regular.

Now, that isn't to say that some cat from the streets can't give an NBA player the business. But those instances are extremely rare and that same dude aint gonna sniff an NBA team.

If Brian Scal beats 3 rec-league caliber players, pret obv that Steve Blake would run rec league.

[Burgz V2]

people need to stop making threads about this.

they are pro players. they would ruin us all.

[Screamingdoom]

You say that Steve Blake can only shoot threes but that's in comparison to other NBA players. In a rec game he could post up, pull of Dream shakes, shoot fadeaways, hit shots from all over the floor and do layups like MJ. He could do a lot more against amateur competition.

These weren't even regular rec league guys that Scal wrecked. One of them played D1, another two were D2 players, and the younger kid was walking on to a D1 team. Scal beat them all consecutively, but he was running out of steam at the end and only won 11-3 that last game.

and have bigger dikks then most of us..........

another overrating nba scrubs thread. great. :rolleyes:

[Rake2204]

I've seen quite a bit of low-level players light up recreation leagues so the answer to this questions seems plain, clear, and obvious. I've light up recreation leagues. And I've feared being lit up by fringe minor league guys and former DII players (not to mention former DI role players). I trust a current NBA player would hold the power to embarrass all of us quite thoroughly in rec. league play.

6'1 175 of pure steel. Personal best of 10.17 in the 100 meters. But my lateral quickness is garbage so I was just kidding. Little tubby Barea would still cross me up

[Calabis]

I have played with/against some NBA'ers in my younger times, some all-stars, some serviceable guys.... These guys play half ass and dominate.

GS: Tim Hardaway...raining bombs, handles retarded, strong as a fvcking ox, on u'r heels or ass anytime he wanted to put u there.

Pistons: Lindsey Hunter...was lightning in a bottle, actual played on his team during pick up game, dude was damn good, put a move on Hardaway that got the entire gym ooh'ng, then you saw Hardaway show the rook what an all star looked like...shit was crazy the next 5 trips up the court by Hardaway.

VanCo: Mike Bibby crossing dudes up like nothing, did whatever he wanted on the court.

VannCo: Michael Dickerson, jumps out the gym, strong, shooting bombs, dunking from avg BBall guys jumpshot area

GS: Chris Webber, by far the scariest most intimidating shit I seen while being on the court. Taking off and dunking on dudes, where normal guys are pulling up for jumpers. Tossing around grown men like rag dolls, guys trying to foul him getting dunked on..... Mf'er that big shouldn't have moved that fast.

Retired ass Ricky Davis(the Oh Shit dunk on Nash guy) Fast as hell, played in rec league game, with military guy who is with his ex spouse. Looked like he was playing 5 year old kids...yet these guys ranged from 19-25 years old.

Played semi pro guys, DI guys...all those guys dominate and mf'ers like the OP would have zero chance

What makes the OP worse, is didn't he see the damn AND 1 tour, guys that can't make it, dominating people around the US

TEamFLightBrother have vids showing there guys in local rec leagues or games the are not NBA talent, but dominate u'r avg weekend BBall guy
