I can also shoot, rebound, pass (I won’t but I can if I wanted to), run, hit for power, hit for average, and play defense. 8-tool players are rare.

When i was 18ish i could get the ball over the rim but it was more of a lay in, not a real dunk. just couldn't get high enough. I can't play pickup anymore because i've lost too much coordination. I look like an idiot with a basketball now... just way too out of practice. It's been damn near 15 years since i played any competitive basketball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilandil Tasardur Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'm jealous of all you guys. When I was 18 I was 5'6" and could just barely touch rim. I always thought I'd grow a few more inches and maybe be able to "baby dunk". Now I'm 5'7" and get halfway up the net...and then throw my back out...

Do you want to be on the team or not? There's nothing wrong with honoring victory with a good Napa Cab. Although I must say that, after the exertion of an athletic endeavor, I find that I prefer the chill refreshment of an Alsacian White. Like I always say, you'd be hard pressed to find a truer evocation of the terroir of the Rhine than the plucky Rieslings born from its womb.

Destino Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 20 hours ago, JCB said: I was a soccer guy growing up. Whenever I played basketball, I could run forever but had zero skills. Like zero. That's where I started too. I was playing soccer in preschool. When I started playing basketball with neighborhood kids I could run forever but I couldn't really do anything with the ball. Basketball requires a lot of skills to learn just to really be able to play it at all... unless you're a giant. semi related, where do the sports rank in conditioning (cardio)? You noted that you felt like you could run forever, as did I, so I'd put soccer well above basketball. Baseball has to be last right? Wrestlers and boxers are the top of the mountain, their workouts are absolutely brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we at least pretend to have fun in this thread for a change? Who in here can dunk? I'm 6'2, so I think if I keep working out, get from 230s down to 210s, I might be able to pull it off. I don't know what my wingspan is, I'm not a bird, but my reach works, so it's good enough. When I was 25YO, I was a 6’1” 210lb stud that could fully palm a ball Worthy-style and had enough hops to hang on a rim but not dunk. Also, I had wild Thrash Metal hair way past my shoulders and rocked Rec-Specs with a soft jumper. Frankly, I was magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 In my 20's, I could easily dunk like this: Tried the other day.... 6'1" 195, if that matters LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 When I was 14 I could double clutch reverse off two feet but I haven't been able to 360 tomahawk it since I was 8. I was 6'5 215 then but now I'm 5'7 260. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Obviously, I don't have any bunnies. Too much weight weighing me down. I get rebounds because of positioning and a wide frame. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I was able to barely dunk back in the day. I can still grab the rim, but that is about it. I'd have to lose 20 pounds and 20 years to be able to get back to that level. I'm 5-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I'm over 6-5, but got small hands (and a small wing span- only 6-4 (whoever said knowing your wing span is must is right)). I've never been able to palm a basketball well where I could hold it while going up. When I was young, I could cuff a ball and dunk (and do a girls ball easily because I could palm it). Today, I can still get a hand over the rim, but I can't get up enough that I can dunk, while cuffing the ball. I've not tried with a girls ball since who knows when, but I suspect I could still dunk one. (And I'm insulted that my competition for 2nd leading scorer is LKB. I know I'm taller than him, and I suspect he and Predicto are the only people that post regularly in the NBA thread that are actually older than me. @stevemcqueen1 My competition is somebody that is almost certainly shorter than me and older? That's crazy.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Popovich pioneered the understanding of the relationship between fine wine and winning, and we added 10 wins last season after Predicto hired a sommelier to the staff. That's why we're known as the Spurs of the Sterling Virginia LA Fitness basketball scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I played baseball...it's nice to be able to sprint quickly but I'd say speed it definitely not a necessity as long as you're strong and coordinated. That didn't stop the coach from running our asses off though, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
