    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.

    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.

    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

    @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’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).

    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 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.

     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.

    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.
