Look the part

this is real funny to me. one day i went to the court in old fucked up ballin shoes w/ paint on em and holes in em.a old, dirty, small, ripped white tee...but it wasent even white . and some plain all blue fubu shorts... cotton, not even basketball shorts. and nobody wanted me to play, they didint even look at me twice, they just didint pick me. later days, i went to this other court w/ brand new and1 shoes, fresh silky and1 shorts, a brand new tall white tee, and a fresh hair cut. tell me how i got picked up before i even got on the court to warm up, before i even dribbled the ball.
do u guys judge a baller cause of the way they look. i think everybody does

I know exactly what u talkin bout. I dont got a whole bunch of new stuff, no and1 jerseys, authentic shorts anything like that cause shorts and stuff like that is expensive, I gets most of my stuff as gifts or if I work for it by mowin lawns or somethin but yea i understand the whole thing about people not lookin at you twice if you aint geared up. luckily, where i play nobody is like that so it aint happened before but it has happened to me before when i went somewhere else one time. but to me it dont matter what u wearin as long as you are wearin somethin and you come out and show that you can play

Yeah, I do, I chose the ones that look athletic, those that have clothes that look sporty.

i used to do that, i day i thought we had av casue i picked all the good lookin players... but the unsporty lookin ppl moped the floor w/ us cause most of the ppl i picked were garbage. this one guy i will never forget. white guy, crazy, dirty lookin hair w/ a orange bandana tied like a girl w/ his hair stickin out the back. dirty filas and tall socks w/ 3 color strips at the top. he had fat ankles and bigger titties than some girls i know... ... ... but he had a J and handles like a mutha fucka... anyway, dont judge a book by its cover.

yeah you should neva judge how some1 balls by wat they have,cuz usally if sumine got all new gear from head to toe they tryna cover up how weak they is,new kicks shorts and a headband is kool,but if you got new shoes,socks,shorts,shirt,jacket and headband then u goin overboard

[benjaminlibl]

Shit, you should just watch how they play then pick them. Somehow I always pick those who dribble and shoot well, never those who rebound.
