    Behad can you forward a copy of that to K. Cato, maybe if he went there he could be the dominant player he was expected to be.

    This gives me a great idea....a temp. agency for basketball players! Perfect.

    I thought of it first. Get your own idea!

    I'm tired of being a wannabe pro basketball player, I wanna be a pro basketball player.
    Just something similar to a homerism.

    You can be my first client! Can you send me a resume? As soon as I can get your information, I will start calling around for you.

    Sweeeeeet. Thanks Behad, I was actually looking for something like this. [​IMG] No really, because I'm moving in a couple of months to Saudi and I'm good at basketball. I don't think they have a pro basketball league in Saudi so I wanted to try out for some Euro team once I get outta College. It depends though, wheter I come back here for College or go take medicine in some college in India like my parents want me too. [​IMG] [​IMG]

    The only problem is that I'm still in high school. Oh, yeah, that and I'm pretty sorry at basketball.

    The talent level overseas is better than division I college basketball, but it's low enough so that washed up nba players can still put up really good numbers.

    My resume:

    Got cut from my high school team three years in a row.

    My Resume

    Played 7th grade basketball last year started at the point and got 10 ppg, 8 apg, and 6 rpg.(coach counted stats and gave them to us)

    Played city league as well last season and got something like 18 ppg, 11 apg, and 8 rpg.

    I missed tryouts this season so i didnt play this season.

    Not too bad.

    What exactly is the talent level overseas.
