It's unreal how easy they make everything and I'm sorry, but unless we've got Trey Burke, Mason Plumlee and Cody Zeller posting on here I just don't see any OS'rs being able to hang with these guys, even spotted a 50 point lead.

I'm sure plenty 6'9" power forwards are much stronger, faster, quicker, etc than I am.

But not a guy like Steve Blake. He would I'm sure have a quickness advantage on me. Any NBA PG probably would. But I would bet money that in a dead sprint I'm about as fast as he is, I know I can jump higher, and I'm sure I'm stronger as well.
