Re: do YOU want to go pro?
If you don't think others can go pro I would have to say to kindly keep you mouths shut because until you see them play or see how much heart and determination they have it is impossibly to tell. If you believe you can, you have the determination, you sacrifice, you don't have a career ending injury, you train hard and you practice hard you will have a shot. Somebody has to make it.

Same thing with me. I'm in tenth grade 15 yrs old and I already know what I want to got to college for. Exercise science and nutrition and my real dream is to own my own gym one day and be a top level trainer like Joe Defranco. Hopefully one day I will be training some of you guys.

lol yea, I play in NJ ( we have the top team in the nation here St Anthonys, and some other great teams like St benedicts ,st patricks, seton hall prep, some who have had people go from HS to the pros) but, you guys have no idea what it's like. 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.

Re: do YOU want to go pro?

WTF does don't under estimate any1 mean? In my mind I'm not under estimating them.
You're 6'2 playing either forward or center so, it's not elite. You're averaging 6 blocks a game at 6'2 with a 20 inch vert. What a joke.
Anyway, if there's good ballers, that's kind of the point. If these guys are so much better than you, and they most likely will not make it, how are you going to?
