Dude I've played w one nba player (Ty Jerome, not even sure he's in the league anymore and averaged like 3 ppg at best) while he was in the league in a random pickup game. He basically told us he couldn't/wouldn't go too hard before and cooked everyone the entire game with maybe 3 moves while pretty much walking. Keep in mind he's not a crazy athlete or anything; he's literally my height (6'3) and pretty skinny. It was just that literally every shot went in, literally every move was perfect, and literally every step he took was to the exact right spot.

In the NBA, everyone has talent, so guys like Steph are utilizing concepts that Mamba figured out eons ago, which is put in the 'investment' in your training (there are tiers of quality to training but that's another topic), you will compound it at a much faster rate which no one, talent or not, can catch up.

Was at a 3 on 3 tourney and watch a former NBA guard play against normal Joe's. It was the unwaisted movement that stood out. Not the height. Beautiful to watch.

If it was easy we d all be doin it . The size is what people think separates em but no- they’re a lot more skilled than even elite ballers we all know

The difference in the quality of movement is almost beautiful to watch. Awesome contrast video!

Crazy that a lot of the other players there are also good college or overseas players too. Just shows the level of separation between NBA players and other hoopers.

the difference between NBA Players and normal hoopers are NBA Players have taller build, more muscular, higher jump ability, better accuracy, better ballhandling, better positioning and court view, and far huge income.

God damn Marjon still remember seeeing him for the first time back in Wa I was in middle school him and my cousin knew each other and balled up I remember him telling me he going to the nba happy for bro 🔥

The thing with playing against someone like this, semi professional or pro, or just a really good basketball player is even if you actually stay level with him, stay close, play good defense, he usually just swishes the shot like you weren't even there, like it's him alone in the gym! That's when you get it, OK, I'm no factor in here 😂

looks like a fun run

🐐

It’s all about height in basketball really. In order to be in the top 0.01% in basketball you gotta be in the 0.01% of height/length. There are plenty of other sports and activities people can do that actually suit shorter people. I would say if you ain’t atleast 6 foot it makes no since playing basketball even for fun.

Anyone who is a professional in anything competitive is basically better than what the typical person can imagine.

Personally, I just saw 1. a bunch of terrible ball handling. 2. A reluctance to go right off the dribble With sprinkles of physicality & a big body using its size well

a beautiful symbol of modern NBA. i only watched 2,30 min, because i just could not stand it anymore. in this two and a half min "best of" i counted 5(!) times travelling and one double dribble. i saw a couple of times how "dwarfs" were crushed by a "giant" just by pure brutal force. and i did not see even one was nice pass, but the NBA player, not one.....

Let me guard him

That’s Marion beauchamp baby!

I’ve got to play against Rex Walters in a J-League (Japanese League). The most he averaged in his NBA career was 7 points. J-league had some ballers and Walters made us all look like kids on a playground. He could have averaged 40 points a game if he wanted.

He needs to play in those open runs at UCLA with the real NBA players because he's not getting better playing against these scrubs. He needs to challenge himself and play against the elites. "If it doesn't challenge you, you won't change!!!"

That man was out there serving potato salad

Not only levels but size too

Shoes?

The man was 3 feet taller than everybody else and he traveled and carried at least 4 times. But point taken we all know nba players are better than your average joe

He has his head down the whole time. Overdribbles. Doesn't use screens or pass to the open man. He would have problems against an organized defense. I played with one pro player in the 60's. I was just a kid. He didn't look that amazing but he made the pass, set the screen, took the offensive charge and went to the open spot on the court. Put the two of them together and you have a star.
