What is your weakness as a basketball player?

 Mine is shooting im a terrible shooter but i enjoy to drive more anyways lol

Running, conditioning, endurance, I’m like an Adonal Foyle in Yi Jianlain’s body.

I’ve got quite a few haha. First of all I’m only 5’9. My jump shot isn’t very good and I’m really inconsistent with it. Despite being a good athlete and having good straight line speed, my lateral quickness is average at best which limits me on defense quite a bit. I also dribble the ball too high and my left hand could use quite a bit of work.

 I’m 5 foot 8. Lol. I’m not sure I’m pretty good at about everything but not great at anything. I would say I don’t incorporate a mid range game enough. It’s usually a drive or a 3. 

Easy…jumpshot consistency. 

I’ve had times where I can shoot like Kobe and just chuck up anything from anywhere and it just goes in.  I can’t even explain why it is, its like an out of body experience. But there are other times where I envy Rajon Rondo. And when those days come up I really don’t have confidence to get out of the slump and just rely soley on driving and attacking the basket.

Dribbling. I cant do any fancy moves or use my left hand

 I can ‘t do spin moves well. My endurance isn’t that good anymore since I’m a smoker.

 cannot shoot 3 point skyhooks with my left hand

 cannot shoot 3 point skyhooks with my left hand

cannot shoot 3 point skyhooks with my left hand

Thats my specialty dude. I could teach you if you like.

 sometimes i get russ smith syndrome…. and my handles can be pretty sloppy….. not a consistent shooter 

My weakness is my left arm is much more muscalar than my right.

my  age 🙁

The same problem eddy curry has, a bad diet.

My weakness is basically playing basketball. Yay for sucking! Haha

 Being white.

I cant dribble with my left hand or against quicker defenders, im a lanky 6’0" and i can take guys off the dribble at my size because of my speed, but when it comes to smaller defenders, i’m pretty much screwed. but i like to consider myself a very well all around player, evan turner mold.

I play dirty…Pushing people in the back when they jump for rebounds or layups, elbows to the ribs, sticking my knees out when setting screens, I unnessasarly foul hard too. If I’m falling out of bounds with the ball, I aim for the nuts or head of my opponent.

Oh I love trash talking, cusing, and talking about people’s Moms.

 I got 3 technicals in a game before.

I am shocked!! Never would have guessed! Sound like the kind of guy no one ever likes to play with.

At this point it’s my age, combine with a ruptured achilles a few years back. Other than that, i’m still good for 25 ppg in any league I hoop in around Memphis…. 

Take a chill pill.

Shooting! For certain more times then not im the fastest guy on the floor and the most high-energy player but the one thing I hate is people run zone on me or when they play man thy give me the shot and I can never hit it smh 🙁 .I drive like theres no one in front of me hopeing for contact so I can make anyone foolish enough to get in my way regret it for the next week an a half.So to prevent that ppl just sit under the court 🙁 .

I am like MKG I grab boards with the 6 7 players never really meet anyone taller but  because I get up at 5’9 I can compete with alot of big men no matter weight, height or strength.But barely play anthing but point  or inside forward because of not being able to shoot.

I just cant shoot I know how to watched lots of tape on it.Trained and still cant hit it. Elbow in Follow thru high ark

aim between the rings that hold the nets on the rim.Fingers apart let the ball rest on your finger tips not your palm thumb doesnt push ball unless it the shooting hand.

All this info and hours put into shooting and I still cant shoot 🙁

Im slow as dirt. I patterned my game around Chris Mullin so it got me by. I can shoot lights out but I cant stick in front of a quick guy to save my life. Being a good shooter I always think I should get more shots. I can improve on my dribbling but its okay. The problem I have is that I had a half cemented backyard court at my house. part was cement. the other dirt. sometimes I would hit the edge of the cement and lose the ball in my backyard so I tend to always pull up after so many bounces cuz I was "trained" not to lose the ball instead of getting to the rim

And being a ginger.

one on one I was great. but mentally during 5 on 5 games I just couldn’t do it offensively. I don’t know why but I just failed to be nearly as good as I am when it was one on one up to 3 on 3.  

Jeffy long, u mean play against.
If u played me, I would “Ron Artest” u. U sensetive little Pussy….oh I forgot ur still a virgin, u don’t know what Pussy is.
Ask ur mom to show u.

@Johnny Chill

I had 2 friends in shoes were 6’7” I could smoke them everytime and they hated it. I was young so I did talk alot of junk. One time I was running up the game against my friend. I stole it, passed it up and got it back for the layup. My friend then undercut me and I went crashing off the court it was elevated off the ground like Vanderbilts court) and I sprained both my ankles.

I replied, if you werent my boy I would jack you up but since we are friends, that play was dirty. It wasnt the fact that you fouled me. It was the fact that you 6’7” and undercut a dude under 6 feet, so you had to intentionally think of undercutting me

Dirtiest play that has ever happened to me

I have the same issue, btw welcome to the forum.

Jeffy long, u mean play against.
If u played me, I would "Ron Artest" u. U sensetive little &$#%#&@!….oh I forgot ur still a virgin, u don’t know what &$#%#&@! is.
Ask ur mom to show u.

You would Ron Artest me? I would Ron Artest you right back. haha ask my mom to show me? Good idea! Is that how you saw your first pu$$y? Oh by the way I am not a virgin, I have a gf, I have no problems at all with girls bud, but thanks for your concern.

@hardcorejack

it sounds like you were a ball dominator that didnt know how to work off the ball. If so, that happens to alot of people and isnt that bad. Now if you are saying you shots just dont go in, maybe you are over thinking the game.

You would Ron Artest me? I would Ron Artest you right back. haha ask my mom to show me? Good idea! Is that how you saw your first pu$$y?

Nah, u would be out cold like Harden.
Yes, I got ur moms….Son.

Nah, u would be out cold like Harden.
Yes, I got ur moms….Son.

You got some imagination there. I argue with facts you just make up random shit.

If you diss someone it doesnt really mean anything if nothing you say has any truth to it at all.

2 can play at that game I guess.

Your going to knock me out like Harden? O No no not that! I guess I could always Ron Artest you first and knock you out cold like Harden. Then I can go f*ck your mom….. twice.

Ok Virgin…. your move

Sorry, I don’t have any interest to continue to trash u on a forum. I already did that last week. Bitch.

Oh you mean when I called you out using facts and you countered 2 days later with made up bs and your 7 different account?

You consider starting a thread about me and listing all the crap I said about you, "calling me out?"

You fool, I did say all that about you. Im not denying it. All you did was prove to me that I was right about you.

you little pussy

 God shut the F*CK up the both of you. I’m sick of hearing the same beef between you two. If you’re going to insult each other at least be creative with it. 

haha Really? What were you right about?

I think it has been established that

• me and Y2G do NOT live in a crappy town
• We have NOT be molested by Sandusky
• We are NOT gay
• We are NOT shower buddies
• We are NOT the same person
• We have NOT shot up a school
• I am NOT a virgin
• You have NOT seen my mom’s p*ssy
• I do NOT have multiple accounts

What exactly have you said that is true? Like I said. I talked about how everyone is tired of your disses and stuff like that using facts. I have said you have multiple accounts and you just have chosen to ignore that. You countered with the disses listed above. What did you say that was truth?

Does it matter?

I hit a nerve with you. That was the whole point. This is the funniest shit ever.

Sorry but I dont care if you are some random internet troll. I am still not going to let you talk trash about my friends, my family, my state, gays, and molestation. I stand up for what i believe in and I am not going to let some creep talk trash about that stuff and not confront him about it. Once again I argue with facts and you argue with random made up imagionation land bs.

Now I am going to go to bed. I have said what needed to be said. Do what you got to do. Come up with some more random made up stuff, sign on to your 7 different accounts and take away all points that I have earned over the past year. idc. I will try not to have nightmares about it.

my weakness well I know it isn’t winning 

nbafanguy and y2g love each other, they take showers together, they bought each other "domestic partnership" rings, they walk around their dorm in banana hammocks.  johnny chills is the man.

Your my little biatch….Son, I know your mom.

nbafanguy has about 15 accounts, desperate for points

nbafanguy and y2g love each other, they take showers together

Well yeah…. how else do you clean your back?

Gay fish, and Jonny Chill are only accusing them being a couple to cover up their affair with each other.

I’m having an affair with johnny chill’s picture, boobies

The only affair youve ever had is with your right hand.

and your mom, sister, and dog

Your my little biatch….Son, I know your mom.

Well i dont have a sister, or dog, and my mom doesnt like gay fishes.

Maybe if you were a straight fish….

Stop skanking like a bunch of old ladies on an NBA draft website.  99.9% of us aren’t down with stuff like that.  N.B.A. Draft. Website.

My biggest weakness is 5′ 9" and stereotypical whiteness.  And being overweight.

 I’d have to say.. I have a pretty good game.. But my ankles and knees can barely handle a half hour in a game, before I’m very prone to sprains.. I’m a Junior in college too.. Sad in a way.. 

And also.. Jonny Chill I’ve never had a problem with anyone’s antics before but I don’t see what you bring to conversations anymore.. If all you’re doing is getting a rise out of bothering people leave it in your kindergarten class… That goes for everyone else to consider before they post too.. Seriousness is good, joking is good, but being offensive for the sake of being offensive is unneccessary and frankly, in the setting of an internet forum, pathetic.. and in the end it degrades the legitimacy of this site… 

 Mine would be foul trouble. On the defensive end of the floor I’m one of those annoying players who get into peoples faces and steal and intercept the ball a lot, starting fast breaks (and I’m a decent runner so I often finish them as well).

 mines my speed. im 6’1 240 with a good vert for my size. lost 30 pounds the past 5 months lookin to lose more. def felt faster and more explosive but still got a good amount to go. Im pretty polished and smart on both ends of the floor but i tend to get blown by and run outta air quick

Usually the best shooter but guys try to run me off the 3 point line and that makes me less effective. Very quick on D but not as quick on offense.

 Exactly what M-DYMES said. Jumpshot consitency.

 you guys are so tight

1. I am 5’6" and so every part of my body is under-sized (now watch Patty Mills or Gay fish to make a "penis" joke)

2. My hands are very small, so I can’t dribble all that well, and my arms are too short to do a lot of crosover stuff, so I have a very difficult time beating guys off the dribble

3. I cannot jump worth crap, so I don’t block any shots

4. My arms are tiny, so I can’t disrupt much on defense

5. I have no lateral quickness, so I constantly let guys past me

6. I am slow, so I can’t run the break very well

7. I am easily winded

So even when my shots ARE falling, I am not a dominant player by any means.  But, hey, I have a high basketball IQ, so that has to count for something, right?

 I miss a shot once in a while. Not this year, but then it’s only April. I don’t usually play basket-ball.

im tall. im can finish. and im a pretty decent (tho sometimes streaky) shooter, but if i had a handle i think it’d be really hard to stop me.

Mines is not creating space for myself, lack of hustle, not boxing out at times and creating a bad possession in crunch time.

 My confidence at times, when my confidence is high I can play with anyone in the world, but when it lacks i couldn’t play with a team full of 6th grade girls lol.

I can shoot all day, but I can’t drive at all. If someones guarding me to the rim it’s pretty much a guarenteed missed layup for me unless I just have them beat obviously. But if my drive is contested I will pretty much never make my layup. It’s frustrating because I’m not a fan of just catch & shoot every single play, but unfortunately that’s what I’m good at, even if I have more of a drivers mentality haha.

 My biggest weakness is my vertical. It’s no more than 20 inches…

 Also, playing off the ball is a huge weakness of mine. I usually just stand in the corner for 3’s. I may set a pick or 2 but in general , if I move without the ball I seem to get in the way. 

 Ball handling, I don’t have much of a cross over, which makes finding shots on the perimeter hard for me unless I’m rolling off screens or left open.  I’ve really improved my post game in my 20’s to make myself more effective, especially since I’m not usually playing against 6’6” – 6’9” guys in the lane like I did when I played in HS.

Still, although I’ve adapted my game, but creating for myself on the perimeter is a blairing weakness in my game and it’s a direct result of lacking advanced ball handling skills.  I can handle the ball well enough to break a press, but not to break my man down one- one- one.  Unless he’s got Scalabrine speed, lol

I am 5’10. Maybe if I were 8 inches taller then I could be really great at basketball lol. But I am a point guard so size isn’t a huge deal. I model my game after a scoring Steve Nash with defense, but being taller would certainly help. I have very good on ball defense, but I can’t jump to save my life so there goes blocking and rebounds. I’v actually gained 35 pounds in the past 2 years, but I am still only 185. I use to be 5’10 and 150pounds so I was just a quick little guard, but I am still just as quick due to a little added muscle along with the fat.

 1.The honeydips being so amazed by my skills that they scream and throw their underpeanties at me is a bit of a distraction sometimes

2.Haters

I’m to good so they don’t let me play in spirt of fairness.They also say I’m to cocky about myself, but they are wrong, I’m just perfect 🙂

 Catch and shoot, I’m much better shooting off the dribble and I dribble too much

Shooting

cant consistently beat my man with the left hand. also, im not as explosive as i want 🙁

Oh boy, I have plenty of weaknesses. I certainly lack the athleticism to play high level basketball. I can’t create my own offense effectively due to my physical limitations and lack of vertical. I’ll never be anything more then role player on good recreational league teams. You could say my entire game is a weakness outside of my effort, poise and strength.

free throws, rebounding, stealing, inside scoring.  I’m 6’3 to 6’4
