Most of you guys are like 5'8 with 0 athleticism. I'm sorry, but if you're that small and don't have naturally freakish athleticism, you're not going anywhere. 6'2 ( what I am) is considered a small point guard. I see people on here who are 5'10 playing forward, well here the forwards are like 6'5 at the smallest, most around 6'7.
Of course I want to go pro, but I know it's not going to happen.

dude most of you are right about the all talk no action stuff and the height and position paradocs(6 foot 1 and center pleasseee) but you're way hyping the athleticsm part. Athleticsim is only a small part of the game(not for the nba of course at least in leauges like the ones here in europe in which "real" basketball i.e defense, teamwork is emphasised ) which can be eaisly develpoed if you train right and smart(there is no age limit for it(of course do it before youre 30
) remeber but there is for fundementalts). SO if you're over 1.83 m and under 16 years old there's still hope: give lots of emphasis on your fundementals(espeacilally dribbling shooting defense game info/smarts etc.) and DON'T over emphasis physical stuff until you're 17 or 18( im not telling you to completly forget about it it should take at most 25% of your sport time) because even if you'Re dwight howard the most important thing is technique and actually keep it siömple and play against peole better than you, ALWAYS. Always keep working even if you're the best in your team, city, league etc. but still think like you will definetly make it .İf you're not aiming NBA believe me; it's NOT "THAT" hard. I'm living in turkey, istanbul and a friend of mine in my team who isn't much better than me( 3 years older than me) will play in florida tech next year.
