Default Re: do YOU want to go pro?

Ajing, MJ didn't play Varsity his freshman/sophomore years. Not because he wasn't good, it was because he was 6'0 with no point guard skills. He went to a nation level high school, which none of us go to, and was too small. He then grew to 6'6 which none of us will do, and he had a 48 inch vert, which none of us will get. He then became an all-american player.

You're most likely not going to get to 6'3. You can't just base it on your parents' height. You've already grown 3 inches since you joined here. That was your growth spurt.

You guys name examples of like 2 people from your country that might make it or have already did ( for canada, theres also jamaal magloire, but him and dalembert are like 7'0 and athletic, and steve nash is 6'3, and really fast and quick.) If only this small amount of people have made it, who basically all have natural abilities, how do you expect to? You guys can become the best shooters you want, I doubt you will even get a shot off against these nba players.

I also hate that euro's play real basketball stuff. I thought the idea was to get the ball in the basket. Shooting 3's is not a "fundamental", which basically 90% euro players can do it in the nba (although compared to us, they are much more athletic).

You might see all these nba players saying anyone can do it, but that's only for their image. Charles Barkley even flat out say it, barely anyone can do what we do no matter how hard they try.
