    I'm a short-ass Charles Barkley with a meaner defensive game.

    5'8", a 24-inch vert, and can grab boards over guys 6"4. Plus I got a bit of a J.

    I make my living in the the paint. No ? allowed in there.

    In gyms, nobody can hoop. You have to go to play in open leagues or professional leagues to get any real competition. 8 out of 10 of them couldn't play JV and the good people take me 2 minutes top to rip apart their playing style. Either they can't shoot, they can't dribble with their off hand, they do the same move when going right and/or left, they can't deal with contact, they're out of shape etc.

    To people in the gym, I'm a created player.. max everything lol. I average whatever the ? I want to average and/or whatever it takes to win.

    P.S. I hate when short people think they should be PG just because they're short. Or just because you're over 6ft and you can jump, you should be in the post.

    Im by far the best on this board ... i still hoop with college kids to this day. i never turn it up to my A game cause quite a few of them are on scholarship and i'd hate to be the guy who's foot they step on and roll their ankle or some ? . but i suprise my self being able to run with them cats sometimes. im no where near in shape as them so my basketball IQ is everything. i swear they all want me to guard them and vice versa because i give them different looks on O, play honest D, and make them think about what they are doing. they have to play smart with me so its a good mid tempo simulation of the real thing. my best attributes have always been my jumper first and foremost, my basketball iq, then defense 3rd.

    id love to cook up some cats on here tho

    Soooooo does that mean you can throw down like the 5'9" Nate Robinson?

    Nah I'm a 6'2 combo guard in real play. Against bums aka people at the gym, I can play any position, but I refuse to play in the post because it's not realistic for the leagues I play in... and I have the best handles, jump shot, court vision etc.

    Also, a real post game takes just as much time to develop as an mid-range game. Not to mention, playing in the post with damn near 7footers present is pretty useless unless you've really mastered it on some Kobe ? or you've got the fadeaway down pat.

    College kids? If they're not D1, they're wack. Some D2 dudes can hoop/score, but when you really break their game down, you quickly figure out why they didn't go D1. Most of them have huge holes in their games.

    ... And you can't be the best on this board, when you're out of shape and your defense is your 3rd best attribute. Full court pressure would wear you down in due time, and after that it's fast breaks and cherry picks all day. You can't play against real heads if you're out of shape. It just won't work.

    Also, jump-shooters with no handles are easy to guard. That's some white boy ? . Yeah, they don't miss when they're open, but play them tight and they're useless.

    Sad to say I'm only 5'8, all my homies are 6'4 my tallest homie 6'8 can't play a lick of ball outside of 2k, what a waste of measurable I tell u smh.. I would say I play a Trevor aRiza type game... Hustle hard defensively likes to get steals and cause problems guarding bigger opponents who underestimate.. When my jumper is on I'll hit a few if I'm hot when I'm off I'm not putting ? up swinging it to the open guy, handles aren't my greatest but my passing is on.... Role player type guy can't front

    5'7". Depending on how my legs feel. I usually light it up once I hit a a couple jumpers. The ball feels more comfortable as I catch/handle it then pretty much almost everything is in. My handles are average, same with my Defense (depends on my legs though) Quickness and IQ are above average I would say. I shoot right handed, but I love going left. It throws off defenders so much because they usually just gimme the left lane all the time. It'd be dope to hoop with some of y'all on here though.

    5'10 my game is exactly like reggie miller/ray allen, I'm always running off the ball to get open and make sure whoever is guarding me will get burned out... i can slash when necessary (when the lane is there or if my jumper is off) my handles are avg, i might not be able to cross you up but i can beat you off the first step and you for damn sure wont rip me with ease... My D and Rebounding is beast its probly better than my offensive game, I'd like to think of myself as a Ron Artest mixed with a Dennis Rodman/Barkley

    I got that work. Grew up watching Kobe so I emulated him. Mid range all day, post game/footwork ferocious. One dribble pull up two dribble pull up don't matter.
    3 is great whether on the move or spotting up.
    Handles are good but don't use them often. One move and I try to get to the cup
    Clamps when feeling motivated enough to play defense. Hustler no matter what tho.
    Play making ability seems to get better as I get older. pretty good rebounder for my size. Played in a league at school avg 21 4 and 5 and a steal.
    First game I dropped 30 6r 5a 1b 1s. Only detriment is that I could never jump. I'll give you mean finger roll right over the rim tho but I could rarely put it down especially not now but I'm about to get back in hoop shape.

    6'3-6'4 passing around the court, rarely take shots unless they are wide open. More assists and blocks than shots
