It's never true. The taller you are the more you have to learn how to adapt.

You have to have a different skill set.

And because you're NOT taller, "if I was taller" is irrelevant. Lol

I said that in jest. Lol

But my game is more suited for a bigger body. Im only 6'. But I can go to work in the post and have a great feel around the rim. I always could post up players ny size or even much taller than me. Two of my best friends growing up were 6'5 and 6'8.

We'd play one on one, and I would go to the post routinely. They'd always block my shot the first couple times because I always seemed to "forget" that they were taller than me. Then I would adjust, and would go to work. Anybody my size or smaller was easy.

But of coarse, being 6' is not conducive to posting up in the pros. So...I dont have sick handles and Im not lightning quick. So I cant play point in the pros, even though I do a good job taking care of the ball and hitting open players.

If I was about 6'7, 6'8 with the skill that I have, I want to say I'd be pretty damn good. They used to call me TMac in high school for a reason.

Why, because you couldn't make it out of the 1st round with the Ladies?

Re: The worst pick up players.

This probably has been posted more than once but I just played with one of them so I need to vent.

The Chuck

It doesn't matter how cold the dude gets he keeps on throwing up shot after shot. Sure when he hits it's incredible but when he keeps missing and refusing to pass it gets really annoying.

Re: The worst pick up players.

My favorite is the

kick the ball over the fence or ten blocks down the street and walk off pouting with his head down after a loss guy.

Always funny.

Honorable mentions:

What? leave my IPhone, IPad, wallet, car keys, and bag of weed in the car and not show them off by leaving them on the floor while I play? guy

My girlfriend just had to come watch me play pick up basketball guy.

Winded after three trips up and down the court in 5-on-5 full court guy.

Show up to the pick up spot in their rec-league uniforms guys.

Brought a gun to the court guy.

Time out, I gotta serve someone up in the parking lot real fast guy.

Let's play zone because I'm the only one not holding my man guy.

Wide open for a 3 after my offensive board down low and while I'm kicking it back out I yell SHOOT because I'm in good position for another o-board on a miss but you're going to try and drive it in anyway like Allen Iverson guy.

Doesn't pay up after losing a game for money guy.

Is older than everyone on the court so thinks he should be coach guy.

"GET ME THE ROCK DOWN LOW!" Joel Anthony hands guy.

Tries to do whatever highlights he watched this morning on Sportscenter guy.

Re: The worst pick up players.

My girlfriend just had to come watch me play pick up basketball guy.

I've had nothing but terrible experiences when it comes to my girlfriends dropping by the street courts. They only ever tried it like, three times.

1. The first time, my GF decided to change things up and surprise me with a visit during a very busy day at the courts. As she pulled into the parking lot, she realized it was completely full. Due to the makeup of the lot, her only option was to reverse, turn around, and exit.

Despite a full court game of fives being played, her very clear and apparent inability to functionally turn her car around in an orderly fashion brought the game to halt. We then watched as she slowly began backing into the direction of this guy's fresh Alero and we all realized, "Dude, she's going to back right into your car." And she did. My girlfriend reversed into my streetball friend's parked car then drove away. He was usually a pretty chilled out guy but he was up in arms. Finally someone wondered aloud, "WHO THE HELL WAS THAT?!" I was just like, "Yeah I know right? What an idiot..."

2. Another time, my car was in the shop so my girlfriend picked me up (a different lady). She was driving her dad's Honda Accord, which for some inexplicable reason was a stick shift. I stepped away from the courts (which were still live), hopped into the Accord, rolled the window down, and prepared to make a baller's exit alongside my extra fine woman.

What I didn't know, is that fine woman had not mastered the stick shift (no pun intended). As she attempted to back out, we'd be rolling smoothly then suddenly the Accord would violently shake back and forth and stall. She'd restart. Same result. Suddenly, the game in process once again had stopped and they were all focusing on me and my gf as our ride would bounce up and down like we had Honda hydraulics before repeatedly stalling out. I felt absolutely ridiculous. Took like seven tries, but I ultimately made the ballin' exit I'd originally envisioned.

Re: The worst pick up players.

My top 5 in order

1. Basketball dummies- Usually either they can shoot or they're athletic or maybe both. Other than that, they have not a semblance of basketball IQ or other skills. They don't understand how defense REALLY works, dribbling, off-ball movement, or anything. Perfect example: my little cousin. 13 years old with a good shot but that's IT and I mean that. I asked him during 2K (He was spamming the paint so I adjusted) what a 2-3 zone is and he didn't have a clue. We rematched and I used 2-3 the whole game and he never once found out how to stop it.

2. Brandon Jacobs playing basketball- I love football too and I understand you are huge as hell. But please don't lower your shoulder and truck me. Thanks.

3. Player-coaches. I had some guy telling me to shoot jumpers.
1)I can't frickin' shoot dude
2)I'm 6-foot-3 with a post game
3)If my actual coach wants me in the post, you should too.
4)You're not a coach anyways.

4. Too touchy- Stop frickin' feeling me up while I'm posting dangit. It feels WEIRD.

5. Biggie smalls- I am 6'3" and just barely 170 lbs but dangit I'ma post up and BANG BANG in that paint. But my cousin, who is 6'5" over 240 pounds easy, is literally a wanna-be Nowitzki. Now don't get me wrong, when he drives, he turns into #2 on my list but more often than not he's jacking up 3s trying to match the opposing guards. Stop. He doesn't rebound as well as you'd think, his shot blocking is lol, and he has no post moves. Terrible selfish teammate and annoying, destructive opponent.

Re: The worst pick up players.

The fat shirtless guy who thinks he's nice because nobody wants to guard him. Guess what? It isn't because you're good at basketball, it's because nobody wants to go near your nasty *** lol

Re: The worst pick up players.

Re: The worst pick up players.

I'm sure it's already been said, but anyways the dude who yells before every shot.

The person who can't keep up with a full court game so he yells to slow it down on 3 on 1 fast breaks

The guy who attacks the paint like he's DRose only to throw the ball off the top/side of the backboard.

The best part is I'm describing only one person
