"Yo my son is trash in basketball "


  

          

Iv been in denial the past couple years. He been playing select ball but it was hard to gauge his skill level because his whole squad was trash. They were getting ran out the gym in tournaments but like most parents I was blaming the coaches. Anyway I came to that realization last night. He had his 1st middle school game. I mean hes on the A team so he ain't completely trash. But compared to where I was at when I was his age (and I wasn't even that cold) he trash. The one thing he got going for him is he is athletic. But he ain't got no handle, no jumper, and his perimeter D is horrible. I think he realized it too. Dude thought he was just going to automatically get better without putting in no extra work. But yea shit was embarrassing. Sitting with the other parents and hearing em talk shit. Nigga was 5 minutes from looking like the MJ crying face lol
