I tend to play usually

1. Former division 1/division 2 old athletes in their 30s/40s.
2. Division 2/division 3 bball players
3. The rarely occasional bottom division 1 feeder player
4. Kids from inner city

Holy shit. I play against your average joes at the gym (think 24hr fitness). I would probably lose 4-0 in a 7 game 1v1 series against a guy who got cut from a DIII school. Like if everyone on the court was a D1 or even former D1 player, I would probably just not play because my team would get pissed at me.

When you get screwed by height genetics there's not much you can do unless you have insane athleticism, which I don't.

I'm 5'9''. I'm a defense and 3 type of player. I got better at passing to cutting players. Been dunked on a few times :facepalm. Few bloody nose but all in all it's fun :cheers:.

I'm known as a "shooter" at my gym. When I started playing at this gym, one of my teammates kept calling me out on bad defense and turnovers, cussed a lot. Eventually hit the game winner and he was dumbfounded.

Only against scrubs, I can't hang with really good ballers.
