It’s been a while! Been pretty busy with school and other things, but I’m back now and am planning to upload more consistently here. Let me know if there’s anything you want to see, and hope you enjoy my return video! :)

"I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me." - Brian Scalabrine a.k.a. The White Mamba

I remember a few years ago I was at this open run and this dude who was a G-LEAGUE bench player came through and he was fucking everybody up. His shot was so pure and he had the smoothest handle ever. To think this dude couldn't even get minutes on a G-League team. I wouldn't even wanna imagine playing against an NBA player lmao. Bro had me contemplating not going back to that gym again.

Never seen klay dribble that much in my life🔥🔥🔥💯

I remember people thought they were better than Brian Scalabrine. The last guy that gets no minutes on an NBA bench is better than any guy that balls at the park all day. And Brian showed he was like LeBron James compared to them. The discipline, the training professional players go through is more rigorous. Ball is literally their life not a hobby. Always respect the non All Star players in the NBA because they actually made it.

Checking D Rose in iso had to be terrifying

In my 20s I played ball 7 days a week. I've played a handful of pick up games against NBA and D-1 guys that just came out to mess around at some parks where there's a good run. I had as much chance of stopping ANY of them as my 7 year old daughter would. The level they are on is insane.

D rose was really ready to play 3 on 1 that boy was a problem back then

Steph be lookin' a lot taller next to a regular dude. 😭😭

KD at the Rucker is still one of the most electric moments for me watching basketball. That 2011 lockout was lowkey fun.

1:30 trae killed this man

The fact that the kid in the Kobe jersey got a bucket on MJ is a legendary and wholesome moment

that KD in rucker park video always makes me smile. what a great vibe

Curry cooking that brother with church shoes and his phone in the back pocket will always be funny 😭

Man, D Rose was something special that's for sure

Man, This was D rose MVP prime, injuries hurt him and change how he play. respect to the old G D.Rose ur a legend my man

Embiid funny as hell, he always jammin on people at a park

Klay is honing his other basketball skills that he doesn’t use in NBA (dribbling, rebounding and dunking)😂😂

Man Michael Beasley is unstoppable in pickup ball even KD admitted he was a problem. It's a shame that success couldn't translate into the pros.

I used to play pickup games with Deron Williams for a couple summers as a kid. He was more obsessed, creative and skilled with the game at 11 and 12 than our group of friends who all ended up playing high school and some d3. It's a different mentality that gets them to that level, and most of the people that play D1 dont even have it.

Look at Giannis man, so inspirational. He's out there pushing those kids up and down the court, even though he knows he's gonna block every shot lmao

Nahhh Trae saying that then hitting that shot is just legendary

The best compliment I ever got from college ball player was, "You've got a good IQ, so you're making the right decisions with the ball. You're just not executing them well."

Only real hoopers understand that worse nba players can still give you buckets💯

Playing Kyrie, D. Rose and Steph 1 on 1 is embarrassing AF! They are too skilled and quick.

A lot of people do not realize the years of training, the burden, the travel, and the dedication that these professional basketball players have to go through. You have to be really, really good to play in the NBA. There are over 200 universities, European League, CBA, and other leagues and only 60 players get to be drafted in the NBA. On average, a player stay in the NBA for about 4 years and will get waived or released if they do not improve or someone else will take their spot on the roster. It is not a cakewalk for a player to be in the NBA. They be on the road for about nine months as well. It can be tiring, stressful, and very demanding for a player to maintain that playing level to stay in the league. Normal civilians look absolutely silly thinking they can hang with professional basketball players

D Rose handling is insane sheesh🔥

I like the Embiid clips, a lot of the other ones are clearly organized events, Joel looks like he just be driving around random places and if he see's people out there he might pull up

I damn near thought that D Rose footage was sped up lmao. My mind wouldn’t even be able to react to what he was doing if I was in front of him.

Steph in airport clothes doing him like that......😂😂

Man if people ever thought of trying a pro hooper, Kyrie probably the last one id try 😂 Dude is just so smooth and those handles are nasty

If anybody remember Ira Newble from the Cavs, it was nearly a decade ago when he a couple of his buddies showed up to a rec center me and my brother were at and ran a few games. This guys career average was just over 5 ppg but he absolutely made it look like nobody there belonged on the same court as him

Regular people have no chance against The Professor let alone NBA Players lmao😂

I once played a 6-7 division two player and I didn't have a chance 😂

Bro a regular person having to guard Steph is soo crazy 😭

0:05 dude pretending to tie his shoe after getting his ankles broken lmaooooooooooooooooo

A regular person trying to guard Kyrie is a crime 😂

That 5 second clip of Embiid windmilling on that guy had me DEAD

Videos like this reminds me of that old Brian Scalabrine series where he would find guys who said they could beat him online and would absolutely demolish them on the court. Keep in mind for those that don’t know or remember Scalabrine was your typical 12th man on the bench came in during garbage time type of player in the NBA.

rose really saw the 1v3 and was ready to check up

Some D1 guy hooped at the park with us one day this guy was freaking super human so I can imagine a NBA player 😂

I love that the "regular people" are working their asses off on D and the nba stars just look like they're sleepwalking 😂

that trae young play will never get old😂

An elite athlete with elite coaching is a deadly combination. Never can feel bad when you come up against that.

i like how drose was ready to go against all 3 of them at the same time

steph was cooking in dress shoes but prime d rose handles were insane

Love seeing the old MJ just beasting guys still. GOAT

The gap is insane. I played against a few D1 and NBA players in HS throughout AAU, and the intensity was there then.

this is exactly why I always tell my friends , these nba players are levels ahead of us even the benchwarmers

The court gets so much smaller in a game against real hoopers. The ability they have to create space that you think didn’t exist is unreal. Before you can even anticipate a move, you’re back on offense lol

One thing that you must remember is how much these guys train to play against each other (they all train at the highest level known to man). Therefore, playing against anyone who is weaker will be an absolute shit show. Not to mention they can get off shots in split seconds and train that way. So when they’re pulling up for a jumper you’re still standing there. Wide open all day pretty much

KD at Rucker was such a good moment. So pure

1:24 - "It's O-werrrr . . . It's O-werrrrr"

Prime D rose and prime klay was crazy to watch back then

Follow this Line to put things in perspective: - An average NBA player is WAY better than an EuroLeague All Star (since lot of average NBA players become All-Stars when went to play there); - An average EuroLeague player is (usually) way better than a G-League MVP; - G-League players are usually better than most college All Stars (since few of drafted players actually make to some team's rotation); - An average D1 NCAA player is way better than most NBL (Australia) or even CBL (China) pro players; - An average NBL or CBL player would be usually way better than most NBB (Brazillian League) All-Stars; - A bench player at the worst Brazillian League team would ABSOLUTELY FUCK EVERYONE UP WITH EASE at your local basketball court. I know this becaus i saw this happening many times. I live in Brazil, and we know our league isn't strong, and our city's team isn't one of the best. Many times, bench players which barely ever played came to play in our public court, and they would absolutely destroy the best frequent players there without even trying or dropping a swet. And at their Instagram accounts or UKposts, whenever they went to USA to vaccation and played at their local courts, same thing happened. They were absolutely better than us, and that they didn't even made a minute per game at one of the worst teams at the weakest professional leagues. That's how good NBA players actually are.

"You reach , I teach" by da GOAT

To be fair, NBA level PFs and centers like Imbiid could yam on smaller NBA guards as easily as on someone at the ymca. Thats not to take away from the fact that NBA players are exponentially better than the average player, but the sheer size distinction is worth mentioning.

I played an NBA player in a preseason game in high school. It was Patrick Baldwin Jr and I shit you not he had 30 before half and sat the rest of the game. Made me realize the levels to the game and that I had no chance of competing at that level. Very humbling. Blessed for that experience.

That first clip was gold, man got crossed and tried to play it off by tying his shoelaces

4:13 bro got dropped & the ball landed on him. RIP

I knew a guy who some workouts with our local NBA franchise and he said NBA players are much faster than they appear. Not always in terms of forward momentum. But the motions. The hands. The core. It's the isometrics. Muscle vs Muscle. That's why most guards in the NBA are incredibly ripped. People never train like that, you just burn too many calories. Stamina suffers. Risk of injury goes up. Our maximum ability to pump calories to our muscles boils down to genetic potential, and age. If you are young and genetically gifted you can push harder for longer before they cramp up. Unfortunately, most people over the age of 24 could NEVER carry enough fast twitch and still run the floor.

It's O-err! It's O-err!! 😂😂😂 love it!

seeing d rose up against a regular before he got injured. He was goddam quick

I played basketball for a d3 college, And we had a visit from a France pro player. We played a regular scrimmage 5 on 5 and when i tell you that guy destroyed everyone basically alone. He scored 21 and every other squad we switched out that played against him wouldn’t score no more than 3. Couldn’t imagine a nba player

I would love to see that Derrick Rose GoPro footage at 06:18

First dude got crossed over so hard his shoe laces came undone😂

My worst nightmare would be trying to guard kyrie

11:00 Mike So Damn Vicious 😂😂 Can’t Beat Em If You Score On Him It Just Make It Worse He Gone Start Doing Absurd Embarrassing Maneuvers

I wanna see more clips of NBA players playing defense against regular people

Gotta think. These guys where top hoopers in the state, country, high school, college, better than the g league, passed the 2 year rookie boot, and cemented a spot in the top basketball stage in the WORLD.

Had a chance to play against the Martin twins one summer up in Reno … they both scored all the points and won every game! It was pretty ridiculous

Man, i missed the Chicago Drose.

The fact the 2nd dude thought he had chance at stop D-Rose 💀

That D. Rose part is everything

Damn… KD was taking lives at Rucker…

Theres no fucking way regular ballers can defeat Pro level players. Aside from the genes,the amount of time these pro plays, the tenacity of the opponents they face everyday, and the way they were train by the best trainers around the globe is just wayyyyy too much for ordinary ballers to handle ..

Just remember, every NBA player, even the dude fighting for two-way contracts was the best player in his state at some level.

the game must be in super slow motion for pros against normal folk. They just anticipate the entire thing by instinct. So crazy how far that constant practice and hard work (and obvi natural talent) can get you. If you so much as suit up for the NBA you could run your local rec center until you dead and gone

Even the worst nba players would still shit on the average people on us

Amazing how silly and absurd those baggy shorts look now lmao

Vince Carter at Rucker: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/mX6gZnqcam6hmYE.html

Trae is legendary for shutting loud mouths down in the gym. They think because they're his height, that they can really guard that dude.

Kyrie is a nightmare in 1v1 situations

Announcer: Actually it's one by one not the three toghether. D Rose: ...As if that woulda made a difference SMH

Wish you would put the names of the NBA players on each clip. Not everyone knows who they are just by looking at them or the way they move.

Basketball is one of the sports where good hoopers could at least still look respectable against pros -- unlike Tennis, for instance, where you would get completely shut out. But there are definitely levels to it, and you can always tell when someone is used to playing with better, faster players, because they look like they're on easy mode but still killing it.

kyrie a cheat code against normal ppl lmfaoooo

Bro that KD at the end was 🥶 cold!!!!

Beasley was YELLING and bussin their ass at the same time, that takes world class conditioning

“It’s ower, it’s ower!!!”

LMAO I love how you pulled up MJ's clip while he was embarassing future NBA player at the time, OJ Mayo. The title statement is true, but there's levels to this.

it's by these clips I can tell how big these players are and how big the NBA court is. Look at them walking among regular guys.

I love nothing more than a highlight comp in 240p

If Klay starts dribbling like that next season, we might go far. Definitely gonna need more than just catch and shooting from him

That Steph shit was nasty. He was putting up like 10% effort 😂 still dogged that guy.

Everytime I watch this, I think of that RDC skit and Desmond screaming : *THIS IS NOT 2K!!*

Reaching on Kyrie is a slap in the face 😂

5:41 no doubt in my mind d rose would cook the three of them all....

Egg (Does this bring back memories Fanatic?)

The speed and and power of D rose handles is insane
