Can a Role player light up the rec league?

[9512]

Any role player from a 3 point specialist down to the garbage man, will tear down any rec league.

heck I went to college at a DII school and the best player of that team (who was good enough to play in a Holland pro league) "played" against the regular at the school rec center.

It was funny watching the other guys go hard knowing it was the player from the team, but the player just ran almost lethargically as if to say, "I'm here to break a sweat and get the blood flow moving and maybe make one layup."

And that's a NCAA DII player!

It's so tiring watching ISH members talk about how so and so "sucks"....

To even sniff a chance at an NBA roster as an undrafted free agent, it's brutal battle of will amongst those who have guaranteed contracts agaisnt those undrafted or second rounders. It's tough as hell.

Basketball fans aren't the smartest people

When fans see players barely get playing time or playing badly, they probaly think "oh i can take him 1on1! derp!"

They don't think about the difficulty of even getting a contract or getting drafted

joel anthony = prime wilt Chamberlain of rec league.

joel anthony = prime wilt Chamberlain of rec league.

Bo Outlaw used to demolish rec leagues and was dropping 40+ points at Venice Beach on a regular.

Now, that isn't to say that some cat from the streets can't give an NBA player the business. But those instances are extremely rare and that same dude aint gonna sniff an NBA team.

joel anthony = prime Mutombo of rec league.

If Brian Scal beats 3 rec-league caliber players, pret obv that Steve Blake would run rec league.

You say that Steve Blake can only shoot threes but that's in comparison to other NBA players. In a rec game he could post up, pull of Dream shakes, shoot fadeaways, hit shots from all over the floor and do layups like MJ. He could do a lot more against amateur competition.

These weren't even regular rec league guys that Scal wrecked. One of them played D1, another two were D2 players, and the younger kid was walking on to a D1 team. Scal beat them all consecutively, but he was running out of steam at the end and only won 11-3 that last game.

im sure the majority of WNBA players would light us up.

and have bigger dikks then most of us..........

[HardwoodLegend]

Could T-Mac get out of the 1st round of rec league playoffs?

[Rysio]

another overrating nba scrubs thread. great.

[Rake2204]

I've seen quite a bit of low-level players light up recreation leagues so the answer to this questions seems plain, clear, and obvious. I've light up recreation leagues. And I've feared being lit up by fringe minor league guys and former DII players (not to mention former DI role players). I trust a current NBA player would hold the power to embarrass all of us quite thoroughly in rec. league play.

Only if you started off in the 4th quarter.
