I Finished up a Pick up Game when it Dawned on Me

[sammichoffate]

I'm not strong enough. I'm sick of losing when i can prevent it. I'm sick of being told i'm not good enough or I wasn't blessed with freakish athleticism. I want to get strong enough where I can dunk all over people, rain shots from anywhere on the court, or keep the person i'm guarding in a straitjacket. I'll get back to you all when I can do that. Let me know how free agency goes when I get back. Till then, I hope you all enjoy your summer. :cheers:

Maybe you would be better served taking up knitting or something girlish like that.

Work on the fundamentals of the game. A real triple threat. You can train hard and improve your vertical but unless you're tall and a gifted athlete chances are you're wasting your time.

There's an abundance of Basketball players out there who are all style and no substance.

I've always enjoyed courts with smaller amount of teams
because then stamina even comes in to play.

and that's when the will to compete might get you a few bucket.

Lol at this asshole comment. Sitting behind the safety of your computer screen when you wouldn't score a point in a pickup game of players with just moderate high school talent.....

do you even lift bro?

[AintNoSunshine]

What's your height

[choppermagic]

I accepted the fact that i wasn't going to be the stronger/taller/faster player in many pick up games. But at this level, working on your fundamentals, footwark, handling and shooting can overcome most of those.

Smart players with good skillsets and the mentality to put effort into their game usually beats out bigger, stronger, faster guys. It's a question of putting the work and effort in.

5'10 around 155 for my Height/weight. My fundamentals are solid but not perfect, I look to get my teammates going first but I can score myself if I get the chance. My defense is average and my stamina is also average. I'm a better shooter than a slasher.

I suggest you find a good 6'6+ teamate and work on throwing lobs and passing. I had a friend that was your height and weight and he made a name for himself on the local courts by throwing me flashy passes and lobs. Ya, I made him look gooooood. :pimp:
