Forums - General Discussion - No, you aren't LeBron James

I've started playing 5v5 in the gym, and so many people talk trash to a ridiculous level.

 

I have seen a minimum of 10 guys claim to be 'monsters' last week, and all of them were pretty much garbage. They'd be 3/17, have eighty turnovers, zero assists, no defense, and then call out everyone else on the team about how 'shit' they are.

 

I tried to do a pick and roll to help him get to an open lane, but he chucked up a shot and got mad as to why 'no one was helping him' lol. 

 

I have flaws in my game, and play based on them. I play stretch 4 or 5 and typically spend my time  in the post, spacing out, setting screens, or making midrange shots. I wish more people understood their limits.

 

Anyone else have nightmare stories for sports?

Who is LeBron James?

Uhh, he's basically like having a character in an RPG with 9/10 in everything

 

excels at everything, so he's considered one of the (if not the) most versatile and dominant basketball players ever

 

Comparable people would be Ronaldo, Tom Brady, or Mario



In May me and some friends were at a park and we played football Wil a few random people that wanted to play. This one guy was pretty built but really slow and he thought that he was the shit but he dropped all the ball every time he got it and only got one tackle. He blamed everyone on his team but himself.

Where did LeBron do his grinding?



My horror story in sports is when I played floor hockey at school. We played for a long time with no goals so my teacher just said that we have to go the shootout.

He trained in the Challenger's Cave at the age of 3.



Dude, I haven't played ball in about a year and a half. I'm too old to play with the teenagers that go to the gym where I workout in the evenings: I was never the quickest dude out there, and if I use my grown man strength to outplay them aggressively, then I just look like the grown ass man picking on kids. If they hoop the shit out of me, then I'm the grown ass man that just got served by some kids.

I used to play with guys my age early in the morning a couple of days a week, but my job moved across town, so I wouldn't have time to wake up, drive there and drive to work on time when I'm done. At this point, I wouldn't mind all the baseless shit talk in the world just to be able to play with some other grown men.

It wouldn't be nearly as much anyway. By their 30s, guys finally stop giving up their dream of walking on somewhere and start seeing their b-ball mortality. They have jobs and kids to worry about instead of trying to show out for the bitches or someone stepping on their Jordans. With grown men, we can get four games in within an hour. With knucklehead teenagers, it takes 45 minutes just to start the first game because everybody is on a cell phone.

More like Meta Knight in Brawl or Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl NES

Yeah in high school people took forever because they spent years making teams. Once I went to college teams took 5 minutes at most to make, and in all honesty games seem more enjoyable, as though not having a selfish ballhog every single game improves the experience...



Yes, there is always someone like that in every group, I speak from my experience in more than 10 years.
