How did he make the NBA

Is bet if the nba team really tried, the OS'ers would only cross half-court maybe 10 times the whole game. Then on offense, they would score on almost every possession. Imagine getting picked by 6'9 235 Scalabrine. They would get as many dunks as they wanted. Overall the OS'ers might score on some desperation shot, but I'd bet on zero, and definitely under 10 points.

You basically think OS is full of old bums..

All it takes to beat a press is people smart enough to make the right pass. And maybe one dominant ball handler. I'm sure we could find a PG on OS who can handle the ball even if it means he can't do anything else.

Not saying OS people wouldn't get absolutely murdered. But give us a couple months to get in shape and we easily will score more than zero.

I've been screened by a 6'9" guy before? Yeah I'm sure it'll be a good hard pick. Obviously we would just hedge or switch.. I'm not scared of Steve Blake coming off a pick and dunking on us every chance he wanted lol.

Can Steve Blake even dunk? lololol

The hyperbole being used to describe a press from the scrubs of the NBA is hilarious. Play against guys just as big and twice as athletic on a regular basis. Like OJ said, if you have a solid ball handler and guys with the knowledge of where to pass the ball and when, presses are not that serious.

Fisher would probably absolutely murder us though. For real.

Fisher is an athletic specimen. I hardly consider him a scrub.

It's easy to draw up and say how to beat a press, but beating it against 5 nba players? Guys that are bigger, stronger, faster than the people on here. Did you see the uncle drew videos? Irving and Kevin love literally were playing as if no one else was out there. Sure the players I listed aren't nearly as good as them two, but would score every possession. If the OS'ers did break the press, not one person is going to beat their defender 1v1, those guys are smart iq players and would guard against any play ran by the OS'ers.if Scalabrine and block Chris bosh, he would have no problem guarding the rim.

I was also on the assumption you are playing right now. Giving months to train, prepare, practice changes it up. Not much but it may be like 150-15

Irving and Kevin Love are two of top players at their respective positions, and that was a damn playground with guys that looked like they were about 5'4 and 210.

Except the nba players, are faster, have higher basketball iq and would smother every person on the court. No doubt in my mind this would happen.

So who are these OS All Stars that are going to compete with the "scrubs" of the NBA or the D-League All Stars(as if anybody on here is in position to determine who is a scrub and who's not lol)and how many points would you lose by?

Shoot, how many months would you need to be able to compete with them? 1 month? 2 months? A year?

I respect that some of you have self confidence though.
