[shy forum]

Anyone here got advice in how to play against faster players?

I am small and fast, but i play against someone who is basicly me in faster

[steep hare]

If they're using their speed to get by you

Then don't react to their movements

[shy forum]

no i cant get past them

thats the problem i am facing

[steep hare]

Then keep your movements unpredictable

If you go to the same spot and use the same trick every time then they'll catch up to you each and every time

If you're playing off ball try to fake going into a direction convincingly enough for him to bite before dashing off the opposite way

You might want to watch Reggie Miller, he was pretty good at that type of getting open to score

[shy forum]

i live in switzerland, so we dont have that many people to play. thats why its always a 2v2 or 3v3. I can play against everyone except him.

[shy forum]

As part of NBA probe into his “liar” comment, James Harden told league investigators he was referring to Daryl Morey telling Harden he will trade him “quickly” following the $35.6 million opt in for 2023-24, per sources. The 76ers’ stance now is they expect to keep Harden.

[cyan sonnet]

I do feel bad for him tho

[cunning fulcrum]

I started playing basketball about 5 years ago

[cunning fulcrum]

He's really 7'1?

[steep hare]

yep

well

with shoes

without em he's 6'11

[cunning fulcrum]

And he still got bullied by draymond and looney

[wind light]

stil an MVP

[long shale]

I don't understand why bol bol gets subbed into the game and goes on a run and then gets subbed out shortly after and sits out full quarters

[atomic swan]

Bro speaking volumes

[signal atlas]

crazy take

he's one of the best defenders

behind jjj and brooke lopez

broke a couple of records

[steep hare]

Is it crazy?

[signal atlas]

and a scoring champ

[steep hare]

Embiid's point average dropped from 33.1 in the regular season to 23.7 in the playoffs, which is the biggest dropoff (-9.4) by an MVP in the league's history.

Embiid is the only NBA MVP to not advance past the Conference Semifinal round in his career.

[signal atlas]

W copy and paste

[steep hare]

Literally the worst MVP

[signal atlas]

anyways idk if yk

[steep hare]

Oh and he only won his mvp

cause of Kendrick starting a racism narrative

[signal atlas]

but mvp is a regular season accolade

[steep hare]

Jokic was miles ahead of him in every stat and advanced stat under the sun

[signal atlas]

nah not every stat

not even close

they were both over 57% fg

and 33% 3p

ppl be forgetting defense is half the game

[steep hare]

then how was Jokic +640 in +/- while Embiid was only +424?

[signal atlas]

box score is offensive efficiency

not defense

[steep hare]

You can stop running the false narrative about defense now

other than usage rate, Embiid is NOT better than Jokic in any other advanced stat

not even defensive rating

on top of all this, Jokic put up 29 triple doubles

[signal atlas]

alr bud

im not reading that

[steep hare]

Ofcourse you aren't

hold that L

[signal atlas]

too many words

[steep hare]

worst mvp in nba history

[signal atlas]

hell nah

steve nash

[steep hare]

Men lie women lie

stats don't

[signal atlas]

stats dont 🤓 ☝️

[steep hare]

Steve nash atleast didn't flop spectacularly in the playoffs and get bounced in the conference semifinals

embiid did

his whole career no less

[signal atlas]

there are so many players that flop

and got mvpss

so its just embiid

look at my glorious king lebron

he has 4 mvps and hes allowed to flop

[steep hare]

You're taking the term flop

as in physically flopping

I'm talking not showing up in the playoffs when your team needs you the most

the MVP is an award of statistical consistency and excellence above your competition

Not you being an on and off switch

[signal atlas]

what that gotta do with the rs

[uncut pond]

[wind light]

[turbid drum]

AND Dame???

[stoic trout]

Tatum rlly out here cooking KD 😭

[normal basin]

Yo wassgopp peeps

[normal basin]

😂😂😭

[static kelp]

I don’t either but when I do need to use it it works 9/10 times every single time it’s really effective especially if you have two force a shot over a defender smaller than you

I just find it really funny seeing people scream at me for making shot with the backboard line my guy the backboard is there if you can use it it’s a really effective way to shoot some of the greatest players of all time used it don’t know why they get mad 😂

[alpine orchid]

I don't know what it is but I will never like the celtics it's just something about them

[long shale]

It depends what type of shot. It doesn't count if u hit a top of the key 3 off the backboard

[static kelp]

I never understood why that don’t count in regulation that’s gonna count as 3 points whether you like it or not but I only use it on heavy contested shot.

Tim Duncan master the bank shot and he get zero hate for it

[long shale]

Bc nobody actually tries to shoot a bank top of the key 3 and when u make it it's definetly on accident and it's a lucky shot

[long shale]

That's not what I'm talking about

There's a difference between banking a 3 from the top of the key than hitting a pull up middy from the left wing bank

[static kelp]

I guess I can see your point but regardless, in a real game bank shot still count as 3 points at the end of the day cause I have moments where I shoot a wing shot people want to hate me for using bank when I was shooting it off the dribble

[long shale]

yea nothing wrong with hitting a bank shot on the wing but high level hoopers if we bank a 3 it doesn't count.

U gotta call bank

[static kelp]

I just find the whole bank thing stupid cause in a actual regulation game just play better defence don’t give the shooter any space at all

[long shale]

Yea but still lucky shots are gonna occur so if ur gonna bank a shot call it

[static kelp]

I have times where I shoot the ball top of the key thought it was a swish but it was bank sometimes if you a shooter you don’t know if that happens it just a waste of energy to fight over it imho

[long shale]

yea idk why anyone would fight over such a simple thing

[static kelp]

You can’t control if it’s gonna be a bank or not if you’re a shooter we don’t count bank or rim as a make during shoot around but in game it does that how we become good at shooting the ball

[long shale]

It's just a thing for practice and pickup in games it doesn't matter cuz if it goes in it goes it ain't nothin u can do

[static kelp]

Exactly I just don’t wanna fight even my own teammates don’t like me banking on the top of the key when I had no control it I was shooting a contested 3

[long shale]

L teamates they arguing over a made shot for their team

Bad people to play with

[static kelp]

[static kelp]

Honestly all I ask if they gonna hate me for banking a shot as a fluke step up or let me do it again 🤷‍♂️

[long shale]

Facts

[cunning fulcrum]

I literally made a bank shot today and no one really cared

[static kelp]

I guess it depends where you are from my teammates legit ask me to stop banking it last week

how old are u guys

I'm 10

[static kelp]

Not 10

[wicked scaffold]

Hot Take: Kyrie’s first game with the Nets, where he had the 50 points and the ankle breaker with the missed game winner is one of his best games with the nets. They should put that crossover move in his highlight reel. I know he missed the shot but you can’t blame him for trying tho. That’s a spectacular move. Definitely highlight worthy

[silk flume]

I have the Shawn Marion shot but it goes in so I never had the need to change it if it ain’t broke don’t fix

Longest make I did for open 3 in nba range was 8

What the point of working on a shot if I can’t even shoot the ball 💀

I thought teams refused to sign Melo because he was too selfish to play for the team when he wasn't producing well

[static kelp]

Harden is doing the same thing

And he still got a job

[wind light]

Isn't he still scoring well?

[static kelp]

He’s playing well but his attitude and what he’s doing doesn’t justify it

[static kelp]

Harden fans are toxic man if anyone does it in the real world they wouldn’t have a job harden also need to realize how privileged he is to be able to talk like that and still have a job 🤦‍♂️

100k is pretty much Pennie’s to him compare to an average human being where it’s their lifetime salary he’s playing with

It’s not freedom of speech anymore once you sign that contract

[wind light]

?? don't NBA players get away with talking too much all the time?

[static kelp]

james harden it worse every 2 years this mf is unhappy

[wind light]

won't stop him from being signed

[static kelp]

He would be kicked out the leauge soon if he keep on doing this

[signal atlas]

i hope he does

he's actually so embarrasing

[static kelp]

And also they are starting to go after those players kyrie and harden are the most hated players in the leauge atm

We don’t hate kyrie but the nba does

[wind light]

would be nice

[wind light]

Kyrie at least has talent, I just wish he stopped ruining things for himself and his team

[static kelp]

It happen to melo and he dropped 31 points the day before he got kicked from the leauge for two years

[wind light]

I just remember him not performing well

[static kelp]

I just remember him getting drop off after that one good game he had

[wind light]

one good game but how many bad games?

[static kelp]

I never liked Melo attitude tbh

[wind light]

Melo be a ball hog, no?

so he wasn't passing

[static kelp]

He was a bench player that played his role took him years to accept it

[wind light]

no wonder why teams didn't want him

[normal jetty]

Hi

[static kelp]

And that’s what sealed the deal waiters didn’t mind being a bench warmer, and accepted his role meanwhile melo hated it and eventually almost got canceled by the leauge.

Nobody likes playing with players like Melo, cousins. , and how I don’t think a lot of people would want to play with harden he request a trade every two years

[wind light]

hey if they're willing to play with Kyrie then they'll be willing to play with Harden

[static kelp]

Kyrie is talented that’s the difference and I don’t know about Harden tho he joined 3 super teams in a span of what 5 years ? He about to run out of franchises if he keeps asking for trades every two years

[lusty scaffold]

Buff giannis

Maybe be in the nba?

[static kelp]

Harden formed a team with Huston, joined kd in Brooklyn, and then went to the sixers and all failed because he cant lead a team

Like there shouldn’t be an excuse for the sixers to not get knock out early in the playoff with the mvp

And harden played with two MVPs back to back and couldn’t get it done

[wind light]

I don't think he's that talented. Decent shooter and good at getting to the foul line but that's about it

[static kelp]

Eh they both did harden just doesn’t take accountability

[wind light]

I don't think most of these guys can lead though

[static kelp]

As soon as it fails he hops to the next team

So does that mean Dame will be fined for saying that he only wants to play for Miami?

[strange hamlet]

Yo

[wind light]

yeah because that's a public trade demand

[cunning fulcrum]

Why does he have to say it again to be fined? Harden only said his stuff once and got fined

But why didn't that rule apply to Dame?

[wind light]

basically they can't make up a rule and use it to punish from before the rule was made

Dame to the heat

I wonder what shoes I should get for school I prolly don’t have. Enough time but I just want like Jordan’s or kobes cuz then it will be my first one

[mild inlet]

Problem is, the shoe business caters to resellers.

[latent wharf]

Doesnt make the difference shoes were already out

[topaz nest]

?

I'm talking for in the future

[latent wharf]

They should make it like that its certain how many shoes u buy like 3 every 3 months

Halo r 350 rn

Resselers should really go to hell

[topaz nest]

Expensive

Fr

[latent wharf]

Yh

They buyin shoes that they dont even need cuz they too lazy to get a normal job

[mild inlet]

Shoes should be made available on a wide scale. The exclusive or limited drops create a market that hurts the common shoe guy

[topaz nest]

Fr

[topaz nest]

Fax

[mild inlet]

It’s been tailored to collectors and not to making a quality shoe that you can wear for everyday use

[latent wharf]

Makin real players of sports buy reps trying to enjoy shoes that were made specificly for sports and enjoyment of the players fans

[topaz nest]

And then people make fun of you for wearing reps, like bro I'm not paying $300-1000 on shoes

[latent wharf]

But either way they made a very small amount of kobes

[topaz nest]

True

But still

[latent wharf]

I dont wear reps but i get u fr u still got different shoes but still

[mild inlet]

I like shaqs approach to shoes. He made them widely available and affordable

[topaz nest]

Fr

[latent wharf]

Some people who enjoy the players arent able to get em

[latent wharf]

Ong

[mild inlet]

Nike and Adidas sell the shoes at “retail” to their own people and then resell it for an even bigger profit margin

The shoes at most cost 7 dollars USD in labor at their offshore factories where labor laws are very concerning.

[latent wharf]

Even the shoes that are in the game like kds lebron and stuff are already over the limit of some peoples budget

[topaz nest]

Fr

[latent wharf]

The best way is if u have an older brother u can get ur shoes from later if they’re still in good condition

[topaz nest]

Yeah but for some people like me that have a older sister, it doesn't work

[latent wharf]

Dam

[mild inlet]

Yeah I don’t see any reason why shoes in the game are 10-15K VC. The max for virtual shoes should be 1K maybe 2K

Especially for a game like 2K where nothing Carry’s over to the next game. If the game had a continuous economy where you could buy shoes and even trade or sell them then I can see it being that expensive
