What's so funny about that

My friend coached at Steele Canyon and yes, we went to scout him one night because he was going to face another coach we knew

Actually, we were scouting the whole team and he happened to be on the team. He wasn't well-known back then.. it was his junior or senior year

I only later realized that I had seen him (scouted his team) when he was at Arizona State

Btw, I played ball with a lot of guys and teams over 15 years..

I have hundreds of stories, most of which you'll never hear about..

Tons of random shit that you'd never hear about

I saw Lucas Barnes end Raja Bell's life off a drop-step.. guys routinely get dunked on in pick-up, but this was the only time the game STOPPED... like o...m....g

If it’s hundreds of stories like Lucas Barnes dunking on Raja Bell, then I’m glad I’d never hear about it.

Well why don't you tell us some of these stories?

They would be way more interesting than the repetitive shit you post these days.

Or going to scout a random high school game and seeing a young, unknown harden putting in work

Yes, tons of stories like that

So that’s where his arrogance comes from.

He thinks his fundamental scouting abilities even somewhat turn into strong philosophical logic or critical thinking in general. WRONG. Please stick to measuring young men’s muscle distribution and dribbling tendencies stupid.

Okay..

But personally, I don't think it's repetitive to post how the Nets could improve their defense by employing an offense that actually wears the opponent down.. it's actually quite novel an idea that I wrestled with understanding for years

I don't have any hate for you. Could you tell us a story or two? Would love to hear some.

Or even post scouting reports.

I’d take an insane, biased scouting report of LeBron over saying shit he’s Detlef Schremf.


This nig.ga created the term navigational efficiency and then went back to being a retarded spam bot. On account of Michael Jordan...That’s why I don’t respect him. He’d spend hundreds of hours to suck Jordan’s dick.

Jordan wouldn’t piss on him if he was on fire. And he’d being a retarded groupie for him. Disgusting.

He put too much pressure on himself.

Think about his entire posting history. He’s like teen age girl. He has extreme emotional attachment to the shit he likes(Jordan, 90s ball, Jordan, Jordan).

I guarantee you the feelings he has about his stories are way stronger than the stories themselves.

The stories aren't significant. They're just personal tidbits of me facing guys that I would later watch on national television.. here's another..

One of the times that I was scared on the court was when my AAU coach told me that I would start in the first game of 17U Nationals against the #1 ranked Arkansas.

They had a tall, lanky 6'7" kid named Quincy Lewis that started at PG for them, and coach felt like my physique and lateral quickness was the best matchup for him (despite my ineptness at the time on offense, I was a decent athlete).

I was nervous because I had peeped Lewis in the layup line.. he was super-smooth and had this easy stroke to his shot.. then I noticed Gene Keady and Steve Fisher (legendary coaches) sitting about 5 feet away as I stared at Quincy. That snapped me back to attention and I resumed the layup line.

By the 2nd quarter I was benched in favor of someone that was an offensive threat and wasn't scared....

I did redeem myself later in the tournament, but this story isn't about that. It's about me being completely shook in my first 17U game

You guys do realize 3ball is making all of these stories up yet? He’s a confirmed liar.

Shit I'll tell you one of my favorite basketball memories as a teenager

I witnessed Bonzi Wells' coming out party

His team came to my town and played us... I was a sophomore and JV at the time, so we got to sit right behind the bench for the varsity game

The "baddest dude" on our team was a guy named Lando Fall (name changed) - he was a 6'5" version of Orlando Woolridge - a spectacular athlete - all-state football and track & field - easily the baddest dude in our school.

Here comes Bonzi on the break...... It's just him and the mighty Lando... You know what happened.. shitted all over Lando... in our house.... in front of about 6000-7000 local fans (indiana basketball.. the arena held 7600).. a legendary dunk that I guarantee Lando's buddies still bring up once in a while to this day lol..

Bonzi had the "juice" after that
