I played Varsity in High School, and then played freshman year in a small college in Texas, then my sophomore year I got cut
cuz some asshole freshman was probably 50x better than i was!


How about you guys?

i was a bench warmer for my Jv high skool team freshmen year, with hopes of getting pt my sophomore year i was the last person cut for no reason as i was a lot better the n some incoming freshmen, now wit junior year coimng up, i have hopes of making the JV team again i doubt ill ever make varsity. lol
 
I played varsity threw out High School, which I found to be a waste freshmen and sophomore years because I barely played. I started to get some real PT my Jr year.
Now I just play every day with my friends at the park.
 
playing 2k8..

pretty much just varsity in HS. got all league awards and stuff like that, but never really got any college consideration.

oh i forgot about 2k8 lol
 
I had 2 interviews with the Clippers...

Which probably outweighs my NBA 2k8 skills

And that outweighs my 1 year of HS basketball...
 
im goin into my freshman year playing jv/varsity going back and forth
 
1 year JV, 3 years Varsity in high school.
Freshman year bench warmer at a D3 college.
Sophomore year made the team, but declined a roster spot so I could focus on academics and stayed on the practice squad my last 3 years.
 
I think the closest is probably about 30 feet from the court, like 5 years back my Dad got some good tickets and he gave them to my brother and myself.

Then probably about 20 times about 80-100 feet away in the corner of the upper level.
 
I used to be really fat when I was in elementary school, and the beginning of middle school. I never played organized ball.

I lost weight, played on some CYO (Church Youth Organization?) teams, but never really did much. There were frequent times when the team would do well while I was in. Then, the coach would yank me, and we'd lose by 20. Try to figure that one out.

After that, just playground ball.
 
PAL when I was a kid, and another CYO league when I was a kid.
that's one thing I highly regret: not sticking with leagues. these days it's just playground stuff, though I'll be joining a rec team in either winter or next summer, so I'm excited about that. I love the sport.
 
I played Varsity since my Soph year in HS. Now im a Freshie in college but didnt sign up or want to play college ball.
 
my team is to sick to make we have a 6-7 15 year old who starts on varsity and is def going d1 then we have a girl who is a junior she is the best in NY state and she could pretty much go to any d1 college she wants.
 
Never played in school and knew nothing about the game until I started watching Celtics games in the 80s. Then I hit the pick up courts at college and in my hometown and eventually developed quite a reputation among the local high school boys as the "old" white lady that could shoot and drive some. I did actually win some games of "30" against guys that played organized ball at high school (then or before), so I didn't do so bad for a 5'7" female that never played until she was in her 20s.
 
I actually did play a couple of seasons in the NBA, but I wasnt very good....

Anyway, I was pretty good throughout middle school, but not good enough to make our high school teams. (huge school 3,500 students)
 
Played through my Jr year in HS, fortunately i dropped outta team, cuz i wanted to make guap. Smell me?
 
JV for Freshman and Sophmore year
Varsity for Junior and Senior year
Played Intramural ball in my first year at CSUF
I also attend IVC at the same time and I'm offered a chance to play with their team next year because all of their players are transferring to D1 and D2 schools. So I might do that, but I'm not sure, cause I'm going to be a sophmore taking my upper division courses because I finished my lower division and most of my GEs (where going to two schools come to mind) so don't know about my schedule.

That's a lie.

In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air

That's not much of an accomplishment. I mean, who hasn't?
 
I have been on the court.......been in the locker room......and heckled AI from 7 feet away enough to make him glare at me.


All this in Jeans and a Tshirt




Suck it fooos
 
I ate a cheesesteak with Jameer Nelson and lived next door to AI. He would acknowledge me driving down the street or getting into his RR Phantom.
 
Lol, my mom lived in the same condo as Bosh and one day I was in the elevator and Bosh was like, hold it! "And I held it open and there he was beside me, going down". I was wearing my Juan Dixon jersey and he's like, other than him, you are the only other guy I've seen with one. And we talked a little about Toronto and the Raps and that's the last I ever saw him...


Also, I won 6 NBA championships in a row...on NBA Live.
