at my gym but its MWF at 10AM, i am not checking for that. it's nice to play against older guys when you can though, there were some cuchos in colombia with an afternoon game that i always liked playing with because they were slower and more willing passers (though some of them were surprisingly immature lol).
i play against younger guys mostly now, anywhere from 16 to 25. sometimes i even work with them a little on their game, i got one kid (HS senior) to improve his shot dramatically with some simple pointers. another kid i worked with in colombia is playing professionally now though i had a very small part in his success. we still talk from afar and review stuff. there is a guy at our gym who is definitely going to play college ball but he doesn't need my help. in the past three months he has improved by leaps and bounds, really transitioning from a 5 to a 3 nicely to make the jump to the next level. once in a while i will give him a tip but mostly i get him the ball, i wouldn't be surprised to see him starting for a mid major in 2-3 years (HS junior now).
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
