@@VanessaWong-yi5pe wow . Nothing on your growth has been stupendous? That's him calling her old not me. I was sincere and honest sorry your like that. We are all aging except Rachel. Honestly tho you should know I was complimenting her beauty without any kind of negativity it's more eye of the beholder with how you took that and turned it negative. Either way you look beautiful too sorry for upsetting you or forgetting to compliment you as well. I'm getting old now with gray hairs showing up. I used to get the u look exactly the same or still young. Never confused it for insults. However if someone said your growth has been stupendous...I would be mad cuz honestly it hasn't been stupendous not even close it's patronizing its sincerity.

@@VanessaWong-yi5pe thank you in all honesty your not wrong. I've never been good at this. I used to let them come talk to me. That didn't work very good either. I guess I only said it like that cuz the first comment upset me with how fake or insincere it sounded. Maybe he really meant that. I was just being honest and she looks the same as when I first saw her in the video games which was over five yrs ago maybe longer plus I haven't seen her since those video games almost ten yrs ago. Other than a dunk contest show she was on called dunk champs I think. She doesn't need my comments anyway she knows what she looks like I think.
Loved the interview! It’s nice seeing you two back together. I can sense the mutual respect and friendship.

In one CBA season, Grayson Boucher averaged 4.5 points and 2.3 assists on .426 shooting. Even his per 36 stats were just 7.9 points and 4.0 assists. Mind you this is the CBA. Professor is better at basketball than 99.9% of all humans, but he probably wasn't good enough to make the NBA. Maybe if he grew more as a player back then, which was possible. To be able to hold your own in the CBA is impressive, but you need to be in the top 1% of CBA players to make the NBA. Kids don't understand how good you have to be to even sniff the CBA or G-League.

I am 56 and play 3 times per week. In a few over 50 leagues, but also play at the Y pickup against all ages, and have a few mixed runs with guys in their 30s-40s. I can honestly say, I am a much better player today than I was 25 years ago. Take care of your body, keep you weight in check, and you can can play as long as you want. :)

Exactly and he has absolutely no athleticism….isnt fast,zero agility and cant jump. No offense because this dude was my childhood,loved him with AND1 and he was one of my faves but as a grown man i can honestly say he didnt have the talent to make it to the NBA.
Professor's drip is still back 2000's era, dude hasnt evolved 1% lol
So basically the professor didn't get into the NBA is because And 1 told him he would make more money with them instead of going to the real pros. 🤦♂

The women’s game will rise for two simple reasons. Skill levels and rivalries. Marketing is one thing but the stories within the games goes much farther in drawing attention to the game. That’s what happened when Magic and Bird entered the NBA. Question is, will the WNBA nurture the incoming players, their followings, and the individual rivalries or will jealousy squander this opportunity to grow their league
