Hence I turn into a jumpshooter when I play ball, and I think that's a smart thing to do.

+ +9,000

Whenever I'm in Europe I NEVER drive into the lane. Hell no, not outdoors, with 35 year old men pounding me because I'm "American" and much more athletic than those idiots. And we're playing on concrete with some small potholes. Not to mention, nobody realizes they're not playing tight D at all because there's no 3 point line on this court and they sag off anywhere more than 15ft from the basket if you're on the sides of the court (where it's harder for the defender to judge distance since he's not near the paint and he is facing away from the basket anyway). So I'll just make them pay anyway with my jumpshot. I'm a jumpshooter anyway.

LOL are you serious about those European ballers?  I gotta take note, as I'm going to England in the summer.

Of course he is. So, what, it's different in the USA? Here everybody is obsessed with "defense" (read - fouling). If you're fat (and most are) and just lurk 1 meter around the paint and foul everybody, you're a great "baller". Go figure.

Why would you do that and not good mornings? From what I know, you don't even benefit that much until you get into hyperextension from these...

You could do supermans and be better served.

Quick question: if my right knee is injured and I can't perform right leg bounds, but I can do double and left leg single leg bounds, is that OK?

Because frankly, being a single leg jumper, I pretty much need a lot of bounding on my left leg. The problem is - if you do only one leg it might affect the fatigue level and screw up the double leg bounds since one leg is tired and another leg is fresh.

Haha... yeah, I haven't thought about transforming inches and feet and shit. So 130 inches = 10 feet? Sounds unlucky.


good catch

I'm still working on my catch. The high catch is difficult.

I've always wondered why you want a 47 vert, and not a 46 or 48?

Any comments on their effectiveness (Animal Test, Animal Stak)? As test boosters. All marketing or...?

If I get twice as weak as you, I'd get a 2x squat.

Haha you looked so much more ... "different" there. Intellectual vs. caveman.

He was introduced to white girls

And that causes facial hair to grow? I knew there was something fishy about my facial hair. It never grows!

Hammering it down nicely on those baseline lobs.  And the 2 handers are lookin damn easy now.  When you start taking requests I think a 2 hand tomahawk would be a nice addition to the repertoire.

Totally agree, think "Derrick Rose" tomahawk.

Yeah, a life changing experience.

A friend of mine told me a story about how a teacher of his, at the University level, got his car robbed. So they called the cops. And the cop, when he came, said "and what do you want me to do about it?!".

In another similar event, the cop said "well, I didn't tell you to let valuable stuff in the car!".

He set an unofficial WR. I mean the hypo.
