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

He likes to play. But kids don't play like we used to play. We used to be outside all day hooping in the summer. Dude rather be on NBA2k. Had him in select ball but that shit was a waste of money.

at least not Sun up to Sun down.

hell, half the parents are too afraid their kid will get kidnapped.

I am not even that physically talented but all summer was playing ball all day. Same with after school as soon as it got warm.

That stuff makes a difference.

batting practice and developing whatever skills you need to do football and his son became an nfl player. most kids won't develop to that level, but most could be better if their dads were THAT dedicated.

and some of those kids just didn't have it.

some kids have it, some kids don't.

my dad was horrible at sports and I was a pretty good athlete. it really depends on the kid and the competition he grows up with.


I also had older cousins and playing against old heads is the best way to improve skill

most kids will not be great.

most can rise above the level of "trash".

either you got it or you don't..

there are waaay to many pro athletes raised by single moms to say it's a Dad problem.

They are more inclined to enjoy playing the stuff they are good at. If they are good at it, that's where discipline comes in.

even if it's for JUST sports.

even if he doesn't say it to his face.

trust me, it's fucking hilarious.

it's also not that serious...

he played basebal and football

i said

batting practice and developing whatever skills you need to do football and his son became an nfl player.

meaning he worked year round at a variety of different sports.

but yeah, i didn't know that they didn't use batting cages in basketball.

i thought you hit the basketball with a bat.

thanks for letting me know guys.

would be admirable if it weren't so sad.

it feels like it comes from a place of hurt so i can't even laugh @ it.

maybe once i'm convinced this isn't projection of some pain then i can properly laugh @ you for this bullshit.

fuck you.

race has nothing to do with it.

fuck you.

i would have totally supported that.

in the memory of NYC upt JUX�

It's just that he doesn't do the work when nobody is standing over him making him do it. Like I showed him drills this past summer to work on his handle. Just a little 10 minute workout he could do everyday in the driveway. He maybe did it for one week. But like I said I think he sees the light now. Told him when you get tired of getting your ball ripped you'll do something about it

Told him
>when you get tired of getting your ball ripped you'll do

Does the word trash bother u? Would u be ranting about me being a bad dad if I simply said he's not good at basketball?

does my use of the word trash here bother you...?

You seem to confused are just incredibly dumb.

But to answer your question he can't even score on me unless I let him so he better not think I'm trash.

HE will get it unless he's incredibly dumb.

And please record it for us.

I let him have it with the trash talk. Like you really just don't get it do you? I thought you was trolling but you're legit clueless. Even with it being explained to you over and over. I'm still holding out that you're just trolling and this is the only attention a man has given you all week. There's other ways sis

and I don't think Poke would feel that bad about it.

I think you have no,clue how the term trash is used when talking about sports.

my friend has a 19 or 20 year old who was going to try out for the football team at a small college in SF.

Nigga didn't even want to toss the rock around with his dad before his tryout.

My friend said it was straight comedy watching his son look like trash.

Sad Shit to be 20 years old and still think you got game.

Sell it. Today.


Step two take him out to a nearby court and work on his handle. Daily


Step three: teach him proper shooting mechanics. Elbow straight. Hand in the cookie jar. Etc. tell him to shoot 100 jumpers a day using this proper form


Should be no excuses for this. Let's get these recipes back man

Social media is killin these kids!

Fuck a sig, my presence is enough.

There's always going to be distractions. The kids that get good put that work in despite all that shit. That's what I'm trying to teach him.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

Make him feel special without having to put any work into the game

I say that taking away his things is probably not going to make him excited about basketball

You then assign me a position of absurdity that, while easy to argue against, is not even remotely connected to my point

My point is this: if the kid wants to be good, he'll do it on his own. Turning basketball into a punishment will make him resent basketball AND his dad.

Acting like Marv Marinovich doesnt help kids want to play sports. It just creates a way for the parent to try to reclaim the glory he never had via his kid.

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

The boys were like 18% on the growth charts when they were babies.

Should I just give it up and focus on piano lessons?

I was always the shortest guy playing with cousins.. so I focused on launching from a distance.

only problem was my form was all fucked up cause I was heaving it from half court all day.

Niggas laughed but my Shit went in..

be about it or be without it

RIP GOATs

his fate is not sealed, especially if he is a good athlete. if he dedicates himself and grows/fill out right, he could still be a good player.

now i don't mean to shatter your dreams but prolly from the time he was about six you coulda realized the NBA wasn't in his future. but i bet he could play varsity and develop a nice foundation to ball into middle age still. chill.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Just talking about his current state of play.

how long does he practice?

does he play pick up games constantly?

can't force him to play and if he did the kid would grow to resent him and the game altogether.

doesn't spend time playing ball with me.

doesn't have the money for summer leagues and camps.

sorry but if the team is consistently losing i doubt it's because they're ALL genetically inferior to neighboring teams. probably less active parents and not as good coaching

might be harsh to call the parents and coaches trash, but that seems to be the word of the day.
