    Oh, is it a normal thing to have played against D1-caliber and fringe NBA-level prospects? I'm arrogant because I don't think that's the case? I'm arrogant because I don't think everyone responding to me like that has played HS basketball? Seriously? Y'all read into things the wrong way constantly.

    How does any of this mean I don't respect Eric? What the hell are you talking about?

    yeah...in my view...you are but for whatever reason...you are belittling people you don't know by assuming you're king of the basketball mountain...you're 22..or so...It'll pass..and that's just my 2 cents...no big deal

    for serious or aspiring basketball players...yes..it's normal..for college students in pickup games it's normal...sometimes in public courts it's normal..what's not normal is thinking you're alone in this experience.

    Who am I belittling? How am I belittling?

    Multiple people tell me I have "no idea" what the NBA level is like.
    I state I think I've played against more talented players than some of them (I could've added "in an organized setting", maybe I'm wrong).
    You tell me I need to work on my people skills.

    And you're going to say I'm belittling people? Lmao. You're one of those posters that twists and misconstrues things so you can sit on your soapbox and preach.

    Example: I think I'm the "King of the basketball mountain"? What the hell? :biglaugh:

    Just stop.

    Again, maybe I'm wrong. It's not coming from a place of arrogance if I don't think that's normal. But you can say it does in order to try to preach at me.

    I was also talking about in an organized context, but I didn't really specify that.

    You said "respect.... pass it on.... Eric has done a lot with his life" as if I didn't respect him.

    Whatever.

    Regardless, it's still absolutely ridiculous for someone to say I don't know what NBA or D1 college basketball is like because I think I could go 2 for 17 from 3 in an NBA game. The whole point of my defense is that I absolutely do, and people should know that. But if I question if someone else does, then it's bad.

    I, for one, am getting a kick out of you alone in this thread still ranting and telling everyone you're right.

    Keep it going!

    He just proved how unimportant he is to the broadcast, lol. Good thing his boss doesn't realize that.
