On a bad day. The amount of "he's no good" statements I see in here all the time is extremely laughable.

I play in a pretty competitive morning league at my local YMCA (we hit it hard before people have to go to work).

I'd estimate the bottom 5-10% of the league would be mediocre AT BEST in my league. We got folks who take this shit SERIOUSLY and aren't in it for the money like the pros

I'm not saying we can run with the upper echelon of the league (the all-stars, crafty vets, etc.)

But like the bottom 5-10%? The guys that get maybe 3-5 minutes of PT a game? Most of those dudes have mailed it in and let their "skills" (which weren't even top-of-the-league to start) rust away

I'm not saying they'd be BAD in our league. They'd probably be mediocre..picked in the middle of the pack at the beginning of the morning league season.

and he aint even in the nba no more..have you ever seen an nba nigga hoop at the park or in a gym in a street run? them niggas do not miss...

It's not just your garden variety Y league where people just show up for the exercise and shit

Most teams run set plays, employ match-up zones, and aren't afraid to throw in a little full-court press if they smell blood

You have guys in the NBA who are wallflowers at the end of the bench and who haven't taken off their warm-ups in like two years

I'm just saying they wouldn't be running with the big dogs in our league.

We got guys who play a full game in the morning and still hit the gym for some spinning or nautilus after the game.

We have a former marine who's actually planning on hiking the appalachian trail in the spring

Most of the time, the guys on the end of the bench in the NBA are just there for moral support for the big dogs. They are lucky to see 2 or 3 minutes per game and that's only if nearly all the starters have fouled out.

and pro players(players with height too) then maybe.
I've seen leagues like those..A park in a neighborhood near
me lotta d-1 players would come thru and run pick up on the regular
couple summers ago. One of them I know of, who went to my high school,
is now playing pro ball in Spain.

maybe you could shed some light on the players in your league
tho.

10 day contract players would destroy yall probably....unless you're talking about people "playing" out contracts with shot knees

but can you name some cats who you would deem "bottom 5 to 10 percent" guys?

I got my league's rosters saved in an excel spreadsheet.

I will go "roster for roster" with some of the NBA teams to see which NBA bench warmers would be average at best in my league

-Sean May would prob get picked pretty high in our yearly Fall draft but dude's conditioning would be a real issue. He may be able to clog up the middle and be an effective rebounder but I can't see him doing a lot more

Why is nobody in your Y league in the NBA making league minimum? Shit that is what? $250,000 a year?

You're telling me guys would rather shower and go be accountants or hike the Appalachian trail than make 250,000 a year to warm benches in the nba?

Plus, some of these guys have kids and they don't want to up and move 'em across the country to play for a Sacramento

It's not about the money, man. That's why I think the NBA bench-warmers and one-dimensional players would struggle at our level

May went 10 for 11 for 24 points and grabbed 10 boards in the title game.

We could probably do an effective job of bottling up the JJ Redick-types too

stop

a Naismith College Player of the Year. He's got a Wooden, a Rupp, and an Oscar Award. He even has a Sullivan and a McKevlin Award.

Bottle up JJ Reddick. Can't see Sean May doing much more than clogging up the lane for boards.

A movie based on your exact Y league better be in the making RIGHT NOW.

Like he doesn't contribute on an NBA Playoff caliber team who has gone to the FINALS!

I doubt ya'll could handle Telfair either too fam.

redick would never miss a fucking shot. never. not from anywhere. on or off the court. honestly, i think redick is decent, but in no way would hype this guy, except in this situation, because he would murder these dudes.

Think like a Jeff Hornacek, Steve Kerr, one-dimensional type player who can be exploited in other areas of his game.

I know you guys are having with the ex-Marine that I mentioned, but that guy is an absolute BEAST on defense and can stick with the shooter-types.

I'm not that knowledgable with the army or marines but I guess the dude went through a LOT of rigorous calisthenics and cross-training exercises when he was serving, helping him with his lateral defensive game.

We have others too that are defensive, lock-down specialists

this was the most outlandish retarded statement I've ever read on okp btw...

Are you from Jersey? If so, you're clearly not involved in the "scene" because you if you were, you'd know where the hottest, most advanced games are taking place

Toen down your rhetoric a bit, my friend

i've been in a lot of Y's in NJ, played in a lot of really good summer leagues... have a few boys who played in these summer leagues who have had good runs overseas and good college careers and would not stand a chance in the nba... I also went to Willy P with Horace Jenkins who was an end of the bench guy the year after Detroit won the chip... and trust me he would play pick-up sometimes and str8 shit on everybody, EVERYBODY

so what Y does this take place? I'm just curious

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/willow/cricket-info0.gif

We got a good thing going right now and are not looking to expand. Membership is high and we don't really need to attract any unwanted attnetion.

You also have to be a member of the town, *I believe*, to join the Y...or else each game is going to run you 5 bucks a pop.

If we need more players/teams, I'll let you guys know which town

i got 'dat 'tensity early in the morning, so it ain't no thang to go hard. paws. they used to call me Michael J (Teen Wolf, no cheese eyes-o) when we used to run on the playground.

in a pretty competitive league full of AAU playing high schoolers, former D1 talent, and dudes "in between contracts" over seas
iono about a YMCA league but let's not front like there aren't alot of leagues out there where Shavik Randolph would have to compete for minutes
the power forward on my team was 6'8 and useta play for PSU and he had a stroke
our center was 6'10 and played D-1 as well back in the day
there are leagues where dudes aren't bums
a dude like kevin ollie would still start of course for most teams but let's not act like there aren't players in the nba that wouldn't get tick in the barry farms league or rucker circuit
cmon
there are a TON of dudes who started on MAJOR D1 teams and only got 2-3 yrs over in europe
where u think they playing at now?

www.twitter.com/EveryPhillyFan - The True thoughts of Philly Sports fans

Are they playing 3 on 4?

Why is old dude closest to the camera posting up no one past th imaginary 3 pt line?

I assume dude in the all-white w/ the long sleeves is guarding the ball-ok. While I appreciate the defensive stance is he double teaming the post? Pushing him towards the basket and away from the teammate posting at the 3pt line?

And most importantly, doesn't that light seem really low?

I wonder which one of them is the marine?

http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=8582

this shit gets down to the fucking core of what is wrong with humanity:

self-overestimation and not wanting to give other people credit for their hard work.

motherfuckers deep down inside REALLY think they can beat up boxers and mma fighters, that high stakes poker players are just lucky, that they can run sub 5 second 40's despite not having worked out in 10 years, chicks with rolls thinking they are "thick", it goes on and on, i see it in some form or fashion every day of my life.

I've seen no name NBA benchwarmers play and they are quicker, taller and more efficient than anyone at your local park. They also are conscious of conserving energy and stay at the right place at the right time. The only thing you'll notice is that the're not trying to get hurt at a pickup game so they'll opt out of excessive contact.

They could single handedly destroy your entire team. People who work normal jobs don't have the amount of practice time which enables you to see the game in slow motion.

Hahahahahaha

I've ran with several pro and ACC cats, mainly Duke, UNC, and NCSU niggas and they DO NOT MISS.

and records one of these games.

actually....i wish someone would submit this idea for joes vs pros. there is so much comedy in here.

Maybe even 200. I'd dying to see this marine who plays and THEN does Nautilus.

Though in all fairness, the guy in his 60s (or late 50s or whatever...he ain't a spring chicken I know that much) has been "player/coach" the last few years and doesn't really get in the games

this dude was lights out from anywhere on the floor, well except for the corners where the ball kept hitting the overhead track.

> the ball kept hitting the overhead track.

from guys diving to save a ball.

its sad how many players were lost to that damn wall

Dude is pretty good too. But I wouldn't dare jump out there like Oct in this post man.

I'm pretty sure Brian Scalabrinie, DJ Mbenga and Johan Petro and Ben Uzoh could prolly drop 30 on any cat I currently hoop with.

And I was in a Y league AND a park district league.

Park District record 4-6, missed the 'offs
Playing against guys who played D-1, D-2, overseas, high school all area ball.

Y League record 8-1, Won title
Playing against a fraction of the Park District talent (some of those guys played in the park district league too). Evan Turner's cousin was on my team for this league.

Yeah, nothing to do with the post...just wanted to pad my stats.

hahahahaa

I woke up my girlfriend,my brother and even the cats.


And even they laughed at this.

@ 0600. only cause they were out the night before.
nah they prolly still eat your breakfast.

or maybe it was Bally's, anyway, one of those big chains that has a court that gets good run.

couple of summers ago Martell showed up while he was playing, he said he got the man matchup, drove on him for the layup once or twice, so Martell said aight and starting d'ing up hard on him next possession, so my buddy went over a pick + roll and hit a game winning 3 (he admitted the 3 banked in, lol, but against Martell he still took it).

came back to me talking about how the Blazers need to trade dude cuz he's not that hot, guess he got his wish.

he did say Martell was full on fucking around, though, stepping a few feet across half court and knocking down 3s.

so there you go, I personally know a dude that ran an NBA guy off the court at a local gym, lol.

Wind up getting injured at the local gym.

I saw TJ Ford hooping it up with some D1 college players (maybe his second year in the league?) in Milwaukee. They looked really good going at him, and the best of these guys got some opportunities in Europe. TJ was clearly going at maybe 60% though.

It just motivated him more after that to shut shit down.

And a dude who looked like James Posey almost dunked on me (I GTFO the way when I saw that coming though).

Look at him now, all overpaid and shit.

That lil dude aint NBA though. He barely got a minute at SC...

I'm dying here!!! Let's be real. Dudes playing in the NBADL would shit on dudes hooping it up at the Y.

... and these are guys who played on ranked basketball teams in HS, guys that could have gotten scholarships for some of the worse Division I/better Division II schools but passed them up to come to Duke-- besides, the diploma is sterling on the job market, the IM is fierce and they all tent and go to every Duke game. All of this is a pretty good consolation if you know you aren't going pro, and these guys are the ones who beat the shit out of each other to try to make the squad as a walk-on.

Back to the story.

So one day, I went and played with some of these dudes, and Patrick Davidson rolled through. Patrick Davidson was Luol's roommate, about 6'4, and never got an ounce of tick. He came off the bench AFTER the walk-ons. He wanted to play. I could tell all these dudes secretly thought they were going to SMOKE a Duke basketball player.

You would think we were playing Lebron. This motherfucker was faster than everyone there (including the dunkers), blocking shots left and right, anticipating every move of every player out there, getting boards over guys half a foot taller than him.

The difference between a walk-on at a "basketball school" and your average rec league all-star who maybe played some lesser Division I ball is really big. The difference between a college basketball star and said rec league all-star is massive. The difference between the worst player in the NBA and said rec league all-star is... well, it's laughable to even call it a "difference" as if there's any merit to comparing the two.

A former college player of the year who comes off the bench in the NBA and a guy who did 15/10 in college would be merely "aaaaaight" in the Y leagues?

Just, pretty interesting stuff... very very interesting stuff... hmmmmmmmm

I mean, everything about this is funny. The replies, the original concept of the thread, the derailing, everything OctavioPaz said, THE MARINE, and that video game cover....

It really is just beautiful. I've read this whole thing like 5 times.

this dude said they go hiking!

*smh*

Ok two things, I'm gonna say.

1. Cory Fisher who plays at Villanova and is a borderline NBA prospect just put up 105 points in a league against a team comprised of some semi-pro players. Safe to say the semi pro dudes are better than cats at the average Y. And this borderline NBA prospect put up triple digits.

2. I played with Pops Mensah Bonsu at the local Y here in Bham who played at GW and played in the league with Toronto and Houston. Dude was rehabbing, and rusty and he was just dominating. He was so much stronger and athletic than anyone in the gym. And the thing is he wasn't playing his "NBA" game, he was working on his weaknesses. He was shooting 3's, running the break, taking cats off the dribble. He was doing things he can't do in the NBA and he was straight slayin' cats.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeit......

I'm sure all you guys are good dudes. I just don't need people pranking the Y (you just never know with people)

I will say that we allowed a teen to write an article about us in the local town's paper about a year ago. He was granted access because he's the nephew of the player/coach (mentioned above)

Damn, now folks need a connection to get profile you guys.

Myself and 4 other dudes, one of which had a scholarship to play for Houston are at the Y one day playing 4 very recreational looking ballers one day. We tryna get the game started and they need one...so this nerdy looking cat walks in with so high ass shorts on and thick ass socks we thinking we aint losing the rest of the day, turns out that 5th player is this guy:http://www.nba.com/playerfile/eldridge_recasner/index.html....We played a game to 15, he dropped 14, including 8 straight jumpers....reason #5446 why this post is bullshit (and hilarious)

Had this thread in my mind this morning during our Friday morning "Round-robin shoot-out"

Actually, some of the guys got a pretty good laugh when I told them you guys thought the Jack Haleys and Haywood Workmans of the world would come in and just start dominating

We got our fall league draft coming up on labor day weekend. I suggested to my boys this morning that we throw in a "player" like Fred Hoiberg or Jared Jeffries and see where they would get drafted (JJ probably pretty high due to height and wingspan)

LMAO though you guys are lucky I'm confident enough in my league to take this all in jest

I can't believe that this league has players better than 5%-10% of the NBA.

This is a fairly small and sleepy community (commuter suburb) and the Y Board of Directors would be furious at me if a roguish pack of outsiders descended upon the gym looking for trouble

No need to give out the name to everyone, but I may drop a PM to the Garden Staters if they want to try-out (or at least come in and observe)

If his knees allow it and if he disarms before entering.

1. I never said our morning league was better than the NBA. Come on now...lot of intellectual dishonesty there. The NBA probably has some of the best athletes in the world

2. I don't think too many of us in the morning league could make *serious* runs at the NBA. Do I think some of us would turn some heads if the NBA ran open try-outs? No doubt about it.

3. We have a diverse league. A couple of CEOs, some blue-collar, union types, a professional horticulturist, the ex-marine, someone who did ROTC (?) in college....etc. etc. The professional diversity helps improve the league and intensifies the match-ups (white collar vs. blue-collar rivalry etc. etc.)

4. No drug testing in our league. That does NOT mean we have a lot of people using PEDs. But is the option available? You bet it is.

5. I'd be willing to modify my original statement: The bottom 3-5% of the NBA would be mediocre in our league.

For real, you telling me an Anthony Johnson or an Adam Morrison would come in and all of a sudden transfrom himself into a "King James of the a.m."???? Not happening.....

if this is all a joke he's running with it will lose a lot of its "realness" value...and that's what this post strength is, lol

Don't you do it Ricky Bobby! Don't you do it! (c)MD

Beyond general physical fitness, these are two entirely different skill sets.

I know about a half-dozen retired Marines myself, and while each of them can field strip an M4 under fire and in a rainstorm, and one of them almost surely knows a dozen ways to kill a man with his bare hands, ain't none of them do a damn thing with a basketball.

I don't know what his service training actually consisted of and I certainly don't know (haven't asked) how equipped he is at firing assault rifles.

What I DO know is that the guy is like the morning league Revis Island.

YOU CAN'T DRIVE ON HIM

I assume this defensive prowess was something he picked up when he was in the Marines.

He's a jack-of-all-trades type though (like I said, he's taking at least 2 months off in the Spring to hike a portion of the Appalachian Trail) and NOTHING he does ever surprises me anymore.

He's consistently picked in the Top 10 every time we start a new season.

I'm not gonna lie though, his offense is very unrefined and borderline sloppy at times, and he has a bit of a temper.

I've watched a ton of NBA and college though and I would LOVE to see a Chris Duhon or a Charlie Ward-type try to cross him over or take him to the rack. And I'd love to see a one-dimensional Jason Kapono (pretty boy) try to get a clean look with him playing his trademark hound-dog defense.

>I don't know what his service training actually consisted of

I have a good idea what his service training consisted of, and while I'm sure there were plenty of pickup games on base, the USMC doesn't actually waste any time training for hoops.

>and I certainly don't know (haven't asked) how equipped he is
>at firing assault rifles.

Every Marine is a rifleman, so he's probably exceptionally well equipped. If he's still in practice, of course.

>I assume this defensive prowess was something he picked up
>when he was in the Marines.

But that's the thing: why would you assume that? Why defensive prowess? You could as easily say he picked up a filthy jumper in the Marines, or picked up a crossover. None of them make any sense. Again, he may have played pickup games and improved his defense, or he might have just had a good HS coach.

>He's a jack-of-all-trades type though (like I said, he's
>taking at least 2 months off in the Spring to hike a portion
>of the Appalachian Trail) and NOTHING he does ever surprises
>me anymore.

Well, I grew up in Virginia, and I've hiked long stretches of the AT myself, and I know a guy who's done the whole damn thing. And I can say with considerable authority that the ability to walk 15-20 miles per day with a pack on your back also has nothing to do with basketball. I'm pretty good at the hiking, but I'm still a million miles away from the NBA. And no matter how much hiking I do (got a 60-mile trip planned for the fall, in fact), I'm never gonna get any better at basketball.

It's your causality here that's the problem: "he was in the Marine Corps and does a lot of backpacking, therefore, he's really good at basketball." That's a non sequitur.

> YOU CAN'T DRIVE ON HIM

LOLOLOL

>Island.

oh, god. *tears*

Dude would be around town and at all the bars getting fucked up and doing crazy drugs every single night for about half the year. Then he would go hike the Appalachian Trail the rest of the time. He did it almost yearly. Hiking the trail is a helluva feat but it doesn't really speak to someone's athletic prowess.

From time to time you'll see some lower bench Wizards out here and they aren't exactly running folks off the court. Just adding that for what its worth.

http://i33.tinypic.com/acqvz7.jpg

I think what a lot of you guys don't realize is that the 12th man on every NBA bench has essentially stopped trying/practicing on working on his game.

They are usually there as moral support for the starting 5 OR as some sort of "assistant coach"

Now, where I play, we go YEAR ROUND. Plus, with yearly roster turnover (we have our annual Fall draft), people need to constantly push themselves because it's embarassing to be drafted that much lower (or in some cases.....not drafted at all)

I want to see one of these NBA bench players put in 45 minutes of cross-training or calisthenics AFTER a game. They usually just sit in the whirlpool (even if they haven't played) or go out partying with the cheerleaders

Hell, we have a police officer who usually comes DIRECTLY from a night-time shift and yet consistently drops 15-20 points. I don't think the dude ever sleeps

Are there any Indians?

or getting sent to the development league. He's going extra hard in practice or the rare moments when he gets some tick.

Also, your thing about one-dimensional players: those dudes are one-dimensional COMPARED to the best players in the World. They would probably school any recreational league in most facets of the game.

Next time you watch an NBA game in person, devote a keen eye to those guys at the end of the bench. They never even take off their warm-ups and are usually just yucking it up with people right behind the bench, or the trainers or team interns. Actually, a lot of the time they are usually just ogling the team cheerleaders/dancers.

I went to a Nets game like two seasons ago and when Coach Frank signalled for Trenton Hassell to come in the game (or whoever it was), he looked HORRIFIED. We were ten rows up and had a clear look at what was going on. Seriously, I thought he was going to refuse to enter the game.

that's garbage, they're usually cheering on their team just like anyone else on the bench. you also didn't refute what I said. If they are the closest to being off the team, how do they not keep themselves in shape and impress the coaches in practice? Do you realize how many people in the NBDL players/FAs are waiting to replace them? if they could be beat by some YMCA guys, they wouldn't even be sitting there.

horrified??? cmon. lol.

Come on man, you think these guys that play a few minutes A WEEK are really going all out in PRACTICE?

They don't get out of their warm-ups in the games...they probably don't even get out of them in practice.

Basically, they are like NFL practice squad players except they don't even really practice. They're lounging in the locker-room area, giving soundbites to the press, or doing promotional appearances for local charities and/or troubled, misguided youths.

You also can't discount their role of moral supporter for the stars of the team. For example, Jack Haley was only on the Bulls to provide guidance and support to Rodman

And yes, when Coach Frank called upon Trenton Hassell to come in during crunch time he looked HORRIFIED...like a deer in the headlights. He wanted no part of it.

>Come on man, you think these guys that play a few minutes A
>WEEK are really going all out in PRACTICE?
>

lol, yes, yes i do actually. despite what you think, these dudes are trying DESPERATELY to get some time. so they have to show how much they try in practice so they can get on the court at all during gametime.

>They don't get out of their warm-ups in the games...they
>probably don't even get out of them in practice.

yeah sure, whatever you say dude. these dudes are BARELY on the team, will probably be out of the league in 2 years, and they're lounging. sure.

besides, who exactly do the starters practice against?

and you know all of this how exactly? you regularly attend the practices of all 30 teams, huh?

>
>You also can't discount their role of moral supporter for the

yes, i can. because on a 12-man roster in a sport with a ton of injuries you can't really afford to commit a roster spot to moral support.

For example, Jack Haley was only on the

>

"for example, the only example of this ever happening."

>And yes, when Coach Frank called upon Trenton Hassell to come

ok, whatever, keep using anecdotal evidence. at least you were there for this one, most of this is you just imagining what these guys do at practice. when really, these dudes could not practice for a year and still destroy you.

http://i36.tinypic.com/24lsfgk.png

and turn your whole crew into glorified cheerleaders.

It's a good thing they're getting rid of don't ask, don't tell, because Sean May would your Marine into his bitch.

They usually
>just sit in the whirlpool (even if they haven't played) or go
>out partying with the cheerleaders

You know you always here about these pampered dudes getting iced after the game or lounging in the whirlpools...

The 12th man on the team has access to that whirlpool just like the players WHO ACTUALLY PLAY

I can't exactly ask the secretary at my place of employment to "work out the kinks" in my leg if I get a charlie horse at 6:45 in the morning. How am I going to explain that to management? And the spa treatment at the Y is outrageously expensive ($50 for half hour massage)

... it just keeps on giving and giving.

Dude Skip Alston would drop 100 a game. The nigga would look like Magic to y'all. The 12th guy on the bench is in that position because he might not have the skills to beat out the other guys. That dude will stunt in a Y league.

LMAO@ this:

The cop or the Marine?

As I said earlier, you simply can't drive on the marine. I'm pretty sure he has more steals than points. He's like a Bruce Bowen-type, only shorter but in much better shape. His offensive game is severely lacking and he's been known turn the ball over 8-10 times per game.

Now the cop I'm pretty sure played professionally, but I googled him and his name never came up other than official police matters.

This guy is something special. He'll work 10pm-6am, then drive right over IN THE SQUAD CAR to the Y. Dude *claimed* he put the sirens on one morning in order to make tip-off, but I think he was BS'ing. Dude has a sweet jumper which invokes comparisons to a young Thunder Dan Majerle.

????????????

>Now the cop I'm pretty sure played professionally, but I
>googled him and his name never came up other than official

wow

is it anyone other them him invoking those comparisons?

His player bio says it all:

The Police Man:

While he isn't a lock down defender like the ex-Marine, we are pretty sure he played professionaly, though google was not able to verify. What we do know about him is he works all night and then might even put on the sirens and race through red lights to get to the game on time.

You may think you have seen the policeman stroking 3's for the Miami Heat, but it is only because his sweet sweet J looks so much like that of a young Dan Majerle. Don't get it twisted though, the policeman comes hard every morning. If you can't find him on the court or the Nautilis, you can probably find him on the corner of 34th and Carson enforcing the law of the land!

this is going to last at least through next season. lol

Tell me about this marine. How tall is he?

Oh yeah, and all this talk about everyone else, where is your place in this league.

Can I get on in the YMCADL?

In fact, it may even be the best thing ever communicated in all of human history. From the first grunt of the caveman to Alexander Graham Bell's initial telephone call to the first time I remarked on the graceful elegance of Loy Vaught, all of it has been leading up to this.

Quinn scored a career high 26 points against the Detroit Pistons on April 15, 2009 on 9 of 13 shooting. He scored 19 of the Heat's last 30 points in the game.

Dude also shot 41% from 3pt land in college. He'd probably average 30 and 10 at the Y homey.

Lot of things get screwy when teams are playing out the string

He ranked himself #5 as to not show any bias.

>>>>>>3. Off-broadway actor/screenwriter/poet<<<<<<<

Dude's bringing the ball up with the Marine right in his grill. Dude looks the marine dead in the eye and recites a fucking HAIKU in his face, then proceeds to drain a 24 footer

You've officially jumped the shark now.

Lock the thread and archive it quickly.

I'm starting to feel cheated.

but on the real I heard this is the one he recited to the Horticulturist:

right before dropping the baker's dozen...

He's getting 3's busted on him by a haiku quoting shakespearean actor/poet but you think he can bottle up "one dimensional" NBA players like steve kerr and jj redick?

You're clearly playing along at this point.

Fuck.

*pounds pillow* DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME!

It's in danger of seriously getting watered down from here on out.

:(

Dudes were jawing all morning. I don't know if it was a haiku or just some weird shakesperian saying or soliliquoy (sp?) but it had the whole gym in stitches

Y'all wanted to get all LeBaReTarded with it. Now folks is posting Triple Rainbow!!!! and waiting for the applause and its mad crickets.


Throw in the towel ROCK!

Check post 411. We got some gems since then, but now it's completely going sour.

(Since now the thread has officially gone off the rails with the "Haiku in the Marine's face" thing. Though it was actually starting to go that way with the "Renting the Y Caravan" post)

1. I'm sure I got more enjoyment out of the first 500 or so posts in this thread than he ever could have in making his responses. I mean, the gifs alone shot this post into the stratosphere.

2. Even if dude made all of this up, what exactly is he going to lord over people? "Haha, I made all of OKS believe that I played for a YMCA team and I thought we were better than some of the pros"? Um... burn, I guess? In terms of making unsuspecting posters look dumb, this isn't exactly on the level of "ICP invades The Lesson," or even "Make-a-wish kid visits the Dream Team."

So yes, this posts is fucking hilarious, and one of the best ever in OKS. But the possibly that it may be a joke won't diminish it; that is as long as Smuts or Cyren jump in and archive this now, before it gets too far gone..

I'm actually not mad at where Paz is taking this

don't nobody be in OKS talkin bout they can play better than or just
as good as the pros

what muf*ckas will do is call out a pro that's sorry as f*ck

the definition of that is someone who consistently fails to improve
and makes the same mistakes over an over again or someone who is
clearly outmatched and cannot keep up with his peers

ain't sh*t wrong with that
