    You guys realize that Irving park courts are ranked as a 5 star court in the national listing right? You show up at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon first weekend in June and you better be ready to play. I grew up in NE Portland. Seriously they will wipe the court with you if you don't have serious game.

    I've played with and against really good players before. I certainly won't be one of the better players but I can hold my own, especially defensively. My friend I'm going with will fit in just fine. He's 6'4" with a 6'8" wingspan and had the talent to play at a D1 school, just not the work ethic. Guarantee he dunks on someone tomorrow.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence though!

    I got plenty of confidence in all of you. I mean i never get past Fourth Plain 24 hour fitness or the outside courts at Orchards Park. So what do i know? I really have not stepped foot in Irving Park for 25 years. I went to Jason Lee elementary growing up and i know there are courts there. By the way there are all kinds of courts available over in Vancouver. Hats off to ya for giving it a go.

    They'll need to get a little higher before the practice with 8ft rims.
