Man I was just looking at the dates on these videos! Freaking two years ago! I gotta roll back out there again one of these saturdays.
Wish I lived in Houston. I haven played in years. None of my friends play, and the ones that will suck something terrible.
just watched this again...isn't Dave2000 wide open under the basket? ... yo, jcee15, looks like everyone knows you're going to shoot and just walking around waiting for the next play. Or is Dave2000 the ref, because otherwise, I only count 5 people on the court. Y'all have some type of 3 on 2 rules going on?
You can disagree but it's clear you picked up your foot. That guy probably couldn't have stayed with you even without the travel. What is relevant to the thread? Is it that you probably could have gone right on a really weak defender who shaded you left big time (in the second video) and still couldn't defend you going left or that he should have been able to swat your shot flat footed on the pump fake (in the first video) just by keeping his hands up. It's not like you have an ups to get your shot off, you have a decent step back jumper and decent quickness but not to much for a quick defender to handle.
looks like he was asking for the ball up top? so, you are saying he was on defense? if so, Dave2000...your defense sucks!!
I'm too old to play. I didn't say you suck, just made some observations. I coached AAU and Rec League for a while. Had one former player get a ring at the professional level (WNBA) and a few others play D1 Mens Basketball. I spent 12 years coaching kids. That doesn't make me an expert by any means, I just have spent a lot of time working with kids on their fundamentals. Do you pass the ball at all? I'd be more impressed seeing you create opportunities for others. I mentioned the flat footed part because you really didn't rise over the guy, he has poor defensive technique and got caught leaning. You got any videos of you playing against players with a higher skill level?
