Team And1s 'corporate' players..

[Sik_Kent]

Aight so i just finished watching episode 5 & 6 of season 5 and my god was i pissed.

Who in the hell was that white chick (no offense guys) telling ballers who have been playing the game for the love of it for years that they are not doing there 'job'.

She would not know the difference between a carry and a travel and here she is telling them that they doing it all wrong because they losing the crowd? BITCH they got the W! the most important thing about the game.

Let me clear this up for all the newbies, Streetball is not a job, it's love, it's passion it's a lifestyle. It's more than a goddamn 9-5 rotating roster with a 1hr lunch break. I know that this pays their bills and yes you could say that this is their job. But how could you call it a job when they live out their dreams?

The look on ALL their faces was ridiculous, no longer were they the brash superstars we see between the hallowed white lines, no, what i saw was a bunch of guys scared to get a whipping. (no racial slur intended there also)

The And1 managerial staff obviously don't care about these guys, to me they see em as marketing tools not as part of the 'And1 team'...

yah i watched that episode wit that chick and i was like..... who the fuck does she think she is tellin them what is good and not good. If she thinks she knows so much bout what to do look at what dem And1 players had to do to get to the point of where they were. i mean the original players had to do all dat marketing shit and stuff like that and advertising and putting posters on cars to get people and players to come and on top of all that they still played the shit outta all of them. even today they still put sheets on peoples cars and dance on the street just to get some veiwing and people to come. so when i see some dumb ass lady come in and say "hey you guys just aren't pulling this stuff off that i wanna see" i say FUCK THAT SHIT! These guys have been doing this shit for years and years and have been doing it before the damn pay check. Some might have gotten alittle older but that doesn't mean they can't cut it hell no!

That is true that they got the W but they r forgetting the crowed a little bit the only one who I see try'n is AO he's giving his stuff away after every game.Oh yea Half man 2

That is bullshit... if you wanna make the crowd happy, you can't win the game. It's all a bunch of bullshit.

[_Hotsauce_]

well i am understanding what sik_kent is saying and i love streetball myself but even tho that girl thinks she knows the best for the team wrong why? well because what the AND1 have created has portrayed many differnt aspects of the game e.g. tricks, dunks and so forth and from my understanding of what the white girl said is she wants more tricks when tricks do come and i am pretty sure that the crowd gets what they want because there are tricks, dunks and everything that AND1 needs and continues to do best but seriously i am pretty sure the crowd will get what they want... pce

if i recall correctly she was talkin about how badly AND1 were winning against the team and not appealing to the crowd or sumtin like that

*shrugs* im not agreein wit her or nething i think dats just wat she sed..but either way she shudnt be tellin them how to play bball

[benjaminlibl]

What I mean was... if she wanted them to make the crowd happy, but you can't do that and get the W at the same time... Yeah, they was winning, but she wanted them to dunk, and do tricks... and you can't do that and be effective at the same time...

PS: I hate that fat bitch. Sorry, fat bitch.
