Short players have a much harder time in this game. You have to be wide open to get a good shot when any opponent towers over you. Another way to challenge yourself is playing a big on a bad team - I had to score 71pts with 7 blks and 20rebs last night to carry my Lakers to a 4th quarter comeback win against the Nuggets. Team rhythm and momentum is so huge in this game it's almost impossible to turn a game around, but once we had a good run going we were unstoppable and finished out on a 26-4 run. I've totally given up on this career being anywhere near realistic with the supporting cast I've got right now on the Lakers, and it's made things alot more fun.
