    How many guys here can actually back him down though, let alone make a shot? Dude's built like a bull.

    You'll never truly appreciate how good NBA players are until you see them play against non-NBA players with 100% effort...

    That said, no, no one on this board could beat him 1 on 1 unless he simply decided to be nice and let someone win.

    Defenses are designed to stop this dude in international competition yet he scores anyway. Unless you're a borderline nba player he probably beats you everytime.

    Serious question - have you ever seen JJ Barea defend a bigger player, besides that Bron flop gif?

    I'm not saying the best people here wont even score on him. But let's be real. I'm putting $100 on Barea against anyone on this forum easy. I'd do it 100/100 times, and most nights I'd be walking away with 10 grand.

    If you have a significant height advantage, just back him down as much as you can then turn around and shoot a high arching shot. Either it goes in or youre probably gonna get the rebound. And how is he gonna score on you? Just sag off him and block anything he goes to the basket with. If he tries to shoot over a much taller defender hes bound to miss sometimes, and you can snag those rebounds too.


    I understand some people here might not be very athletic so its not hard for them to imagine a smaller person beating them. But anyone with above average athleticism would have to have a hard time imagining someone 7 inches shorter than them beating them in basketball. I know I do.

    In international competition he can pass the ball off if hes about to get rejected.

    In one on one you cant do that.

    He literally could just run past you for free layups or open threes. This guy scores agianst 7 footers with 36 inch verticals. austin rivers who is terrible in the nba averaged like 35 points in highschool.

    It wouldn't be that easy to back him down honestly. He might not be big, but I think he'd have enough strength to make it difficult for the average ISH'er to just 'back him down'. And yeah, you can sag off of him on D, but leave him too open and you're giving practice jumpers to an NBA level player. He's not going to give you many to rebound

    That's true, and maybe I'm overestimating the amount of tall, competent ballers on ISH. I'm assuming there have to be some dudes here that actually competed at a decent level of college or semi pro and would just overwhelm jj with size. I mean I know this site has actual pro's that lurk, and I'm sure there are former college players as well, but maybe not among active posters right now

    Former college players who hasn't played anything competitive in years isn't gonna cut it.
