If you're good, you shouldn't be scared. You must not think you're that good? A brothers ego wouldn't let him be scared. Somebody "supposedly" good come to the court, you should say to yourself "these nighas ain't got nothin"

I'm wondering if the original poster truly meant fear. I can't recall if he clarified. The nerves and uncertainty portion seems to be more common and maybe he couldn't think of a better way to describe it.
I'm not the type of guy who assumes or pretends my opponents "ain't got nothin'" though. In my experience, that thought process has gotten me in trouble. I respect their abilities, but I don't over-respect them (which was a problem I had as a youth). I can see where your thought process can work though. I say I don't over-respect, but I do have to check myself sometimes. In those rare moments, sometimes I do need to get a little cocky with myself, in a "Shoot. These fools should be scared of me" type of way (even if I'm lying to myself).
Regardless of any thoughts running through my head pre-game though, they all fly out the window once the game begins. Having time before a game to over-think something is one of my worst enemies.
