Yes, I have, but it wasn't a good indicator. They were REALLY just fucking around. However; they were trash talking each other and doing AMAZING stuff, but they were still just fucking off. Would've been nice to see them go all in, but there was nobody out there to make them do that. I did see a couple of All Stars play Rucker, and those dudes were kinda just toying with the comp too. Barron Davis' first year at the Ruck was embarrassing. Dude wasn't even trying and still lighting it the fuck up.

Yep!!! That's what they were yelling!
Dude was sick with it!!!
I've never seen an NBA All-Star in person, but my uncle's friend played Kenny Anderson back in '95 in Charlotte, I think, and he said dude was truly on some next shit. This is a dude that was really respected on the streets for his skill, so for him to describe Kenny A. as some sort of basketball Jesus...
...dude had to be nothing short of incredible.

I know we're talking two different levels...
...but God Shammgod is the coldest NYC baller I've ever seen play. Dude moved like mercury with the ball in his hands, and, believe it or not, dude's jumper was automatic against those college and street ballers he was playing against.

Cats on the NYC bball scene know Kenny was legendary... Kenny was Rod Strickland's disciple so that should tell you something
Used to run a bit with Bob Sura & Sam Cassell when they were at FSU in the early 90's. Like every other story, those cats were silly wit it only goin' maybe 50%.

Rod Strickland had INSANE skills. Really. I've seen that dude hit sit some of the most impossibly difficult finger rolls EVER. George Gervin is the most famous, and dudes will think I'm insane for comparing them, but I watched Strickland a lot, and the shit that dude was doing was nothing short of ridiculous.
Add to the fact that dude could penetrate through a key-wall and had the proverbial eyes in the back of his head, and it makes you wonder why he wasn't more celebrated as a player.
Rod was underrated like hell man... 17 seasons, 14 thousand points, 8 thousand assist...
my man never made the all star game once and he was a top 5 PG in the league at the time
I'd love to hear the stories. That nigga Marshawn funny as hell.
he wasn't allowed to go full speed in practice with pads.
he had SEVERAL incidents where he broke tacklers arms...but in practice though so they weren't having any of it after his sophomore year
his stiff arm was just as bad...he put the hand on the helmet you went down. it was no contest
talk about STRONG... his strength doesn't really translate by what you see. he is so much stronger than lifting weights and carrying tacklers..
he's the dude that comes and lifts a bus out of a ditch and then goes on about his way like it was nothing
ive seen some things

Who are you talking about???
he asked about marshawn lynch
Sounded like you were talking about the Hulk, lol.
He was my favorite player for a few years growing up. Couple years he averaged like 15 assists a game (i'm exaggerating slightly) for the Bullets.
I played against Quentin Richardson when he was at DePaul still. Used to work with him and go to school with him. Dude was sick of course. People don't realize this 6-5 dude lead the nation in rebounding as a sophmore at Depaul and won mr basketball in IL along with Correy Magette. He was sick though. I was surprised how nice his J was cause he wasn't known for it. Ended up winning a 3pt contest in the L. Crazy shit...
^^^ THIS MAN!!! I've hooped against MoFo's that were superior to me physically but their minds are fragile as hell. Get in their heads and it's a done deal. The game is very cerebral as well. I have a buddy named Frankie King that played for Western Carolina then got drafted by the Lakers in 95 only to be replaced when Kobe came to town and then he went to Philadelphia where Allen Iverson was drafted. He went overseas to play some good ball and when few championships. Long story short I was a nice player with a tight handle. I first met Frankie at our neighborhood court. I heard some dude talking under his breath like Yooooooooo that MoFo right there was supposed to be a McDonald's All American yada yada yada. Soooooo we on the court and I hear someone say I want some of him I hear he does all kinds of tricks with the ball and what have you *Frankie talking shit to me on the sly* So I'm putting in work and we win. Next up Frankie King vs Myself......... That MoFo handed my ASS To Me Yo!!!! He dapped me up after the game and told me to come to the gym with him to work out, he said all I needed was to get in better shape. From then on we were cool. A couple of years after that I was in college hooped a lil got in a head on collision with an 18 wheeler and it was a wrap. I got into fitness as an alternative. A lot of the game involves confidence, conditioning, and mental toughness........

One of my mom's friends son was a basketball player in HS.
Dude's father had him at the court since he was 5. Dude, actually grew to be 6'5". Dude told me that by the time he was 8, his pops had him on a SERIOUS training regimen that was about four hours, six days a week.
Dude was the MAN in HS; a damn good college player; but worked out for multiple NBA teams and was rejected every time.
Real spit: How someone can work that hard, for that many years, and not make it is just crazy. Seriously. To think you have guys like Jamal Crawford claiming he never really practice...
...shit just ain't fair.

Was supposed to add this a few weeks ago, but kept forgetting.
My cousin's b/f played some college ball back in the day, and then overseas. Dude told me he was in the Chi, and played some ball against Randy Brown. I always through of RB as a major scrub...
...dude said Randy Brown destroyed him. Randy Fucking Brown, people.

This is the first dude I saw, in person, that made me realize I wasn't SHIT @ bball. Dude toyed with my hometown legends like they were children.
I thought dude was going pro out of high school...
...and he went to UCONN for four years, and never sniffed the league.
Shit blew me fucking mind.
