A'ight, lets flip the script on 'em right quick--I got something for ya'll. Everyone says that you're a hater, if you don't like tricks, but nobody looks at if from the other point of view. This one cat called me a "Sauce Hater"--well, did you ever stop to think that maybe this infactuation has gotten a lil' outta' hand? I mean, as a so called "hater", I've gotta' wonder why you guys are all up on the man's shorts (for lack of cleaner terminology)? Are people that obsessed with tricks and the players that made them famous? What about guys like "The Goat", PeeWee, and "Fly"--they are the originators of the streetball culture and they never used "illegal" tricks and put winning first. Then ya'll have the nerve to play up these young AND1 guys as if they're ACTUALLY legends. It seems to me like a lot of ya'll are hatin' on streetball, you know? Give props to those who deserve it. If you don't pay hommage to Old School and put winning first, you don't deserve to pick up a basketball. Oh and by the way, that means playing good defense too.

streetball isnt only bout tricks in tha chi...to me its bout makin yo oppenent look stupid as hell then makin tha basket,gettin fouled hard as hell but not callin it cuz u can take it,playin d,and comin away wit tha "W"...streetball aint jus bout tricks,if thats all u can do then to me u garbage,thats why i say hot sauce is garbage as fuck an should neva be considered a streetball legend,to me tha legends on tha and1 team is Main Even,half man,AO,alimoe,shane,sik wit it(because they be doin it for so long,and can really play tha game)also flash,r.i.p.(because of tha impact he left on tha game,and he could really play too)

you guys are right, street ball is not just about tricks. everythin MF44 just said is so true ( except sizzle not a legend ), i hate playin ball and get fouled and not sayin nothin, but if they get fouled they bitch. lil stuff like that. callin movin screens and shit like that is not street ball. but i gotta give sizzle his props and say he is a legend. yea there are lots of fundimental and1 players, and i give them all there props 100%. ( Skip To My Lou ) but when sauce came to the game, he just gave us somethin we never seen before, and did it hella good ( chi town talk ) hot sauce changed the whole game of and1 and everybody has to remeber that, weather they like it or not. when ppl think about streetball, whats the first thing that pops in ya head... handles. tricks, makin ppl look stupid. cause hot sauce gave the game that new meaning; however, he does need to step up his game and do alot more ( pass, shoot, make lay-ups, DEFENCE ) and even if he dosent step up the rest of his game, he still mastered 1 part of the game. and thats what makes him a legend.

HOT SIZZLE HAS THE BEST HANDLES IN AND1, MADE PPL WATCH AND1, AND MADE THE MOST PPL LOOK STUPID IN AND1, AND IF THAT DOES NOT MAKE U A LEGEND... I DONT KNOW WHAT DOES. PERIOD.

everybody says stuff like that. there is no doubt that sizzle can get past almost all of the ppl who guard him, if its just a drive or a trick or whateva. then when hes in the post, hes gonna make those layups. and dont forget that he does have a shot. it may not be the best but he does have a shot. so yea theres gonna be alot of challenge in chi town like u say, in new york w/ me, or even in the A, but he will never get shutdown. he may lose, but not shutdown. (im talkin about 1vs1)

Everybody know that skip to my lou is a legend. but if he played 100 ppl 1vs1, he wont win all of em. does that not make him a legend anymore?

once u earn a title, i dont think it should ever be taken away. MJ raped thoselittle boys but hes still the king of pop, right?

u got a point that he does need to step up is D and his shots, but still. nobody got handles like him... i never seen anybody w/ handles like him, and he started all these flashy shuffle, dance tricks. i agree w/ u on AO and SYK WIT IT, but not Alimoe or Flash.( R.I.P ) Alimoe not eye catching like other ppl. hes more of a old school baller. i give him respect but i dont think hes a legend yet. and all Flash did was dunk. i havent seen to much more from him ( correct me if im wrong). Proffesor is gonna be a legend. he got handles kinda like sizzle, and he can shoot and pass, and has some D, hes on his way to the top... 4 a white boy

. sizzle is a legend. and if hes not... hes hella close ( chi town talk ) sizzle is like 99.9% to bein a legend if u dont think he is.

Yea.......Alimoe plays kinda like oldschool but it's still cool to watch him play...
Professor iz aight but he got handles but no tricks only 2 spin moves he does OVER n OVER he'z juz like pham and his shirt move OVER n OVER...................
moves like prof spin and phams shirt move get old after u c them do it 3 times
Prof iz good but NOT good enough to be a legend he needs to STOP THAT SPIN MOVE........

Prof could get better.

hey prof got more tricks now and he doesn't do the spin move that much anymore... guess he noticed. oh yeah another and1 legend main event. damn he doesn't get the attention he used to anymore. yeah sure he lost some of his hops but he still got mad handles and is an NBA calibre player
