Name: Oskar Tikka
Birthday (Year Optional): May 5, 1995. (14 years old)
Location: Hiiumaa, Estonia, Europe
Why you chose your username: My firstname
Nickname(s): Nothing special really, "Oss"? Dunno', that might sound kind a weird to people outside from Estonia, hehe.
Height: 179 / 5'9", grown 10 cm's in the last year, hence I really hope I'll carry on growing till' about 2 metres (around 6'6") for the sake of basketball.
Weight: 65 kg / 145 lbs, the weight is average, I'm not under or overweight, but I'm still a bit too thin and a bit weak, can't bench press too much or anything (57,5 kg)

Favourite Movie(s): Coach Carter, The Green Mile, The Guardian, Hoop Dreams, Kobe Doin' Work, Sebastian Telfair: Through the Fire, Above the Rim, He Got Game and all the comedies that manage to give me a good laugh. There are more movies that are inspirational, smart and deep that I really like.
Favourite TV Show(s): Prison Break
Favourite Artist(s)/Band(s): Jay-Z, Kanye, DMX, Drake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Gym Class Heroes, Common, John Legend, Simple Plan, The Script, Fall Out Boy, Flo Rida, TI, Kid Cudi, The Fray, Jedi Mind Tricks, Mos Def, Nas, Kings of Leon, Lupe Fiasco, Justin Timberlake, Roy Jones Jr., Slim Thug, Tupac, Biggie, Eminem and so on, I love music, it inspires me, I listen to music when I need motivation, when I need to get pumped up or what so ever, so there's a lot of artists.
Favourite Song(s): I really don't have a favourite song, I get one song that I like for some time and then I listen to the song for like a week, then I get tired of it and find a new song. Current ones are Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind', believe it or not, Lady Gaga's 'Paparazzi', Common's 'Gladiator' and so on, I could carry on with the list for long, long, long.. The only songs that I could listen non stop without them starting to annoy me are Tupacs, something different about them. :shrug:
Favourite NBA Live(s): '03, '06, '07 - haven't played any others beside that, but I've seen and played 2K9 for a bit, and damn, did I love it. Not the question though..

EDIT:

Favourite Video Game(s): GTA:SA, Warrock, Fifa 07 + all the NBA Lives, I'm not a big time gamer, hence these are the ones I know for example.
Favourite NBA Team(s): Chicago Bulls
Favourite NBA Player(s): Derrick Rose
Favourite Sport(s): Basketball
Favourite Sports Team(s): Chicago Bulls
Favourite Shoes: I don't like AND1s, but it doesn't matter to me really what I wear as long as it's a nice shoe. Nikes, Adidas's, Reeboks, Clae's, Supras, w/e..
Favourite Actor(s)/Actress(es): Mmmegan Fox, you know. Denzel Washington, Ashton Kutcher, Kevin Costner, Joe Pesci etcetera.
Favourite Car(s): Not a big time car fanatic, but I like the simple cars, yet good looking ones - most of the new Audi's and such.

I was 6'3 at your age and I'm now 6'5, don't get your hopes up

[Oskar]

Yeah, I won't, but even 6'0" or something would be alright, and I'm pretty sure I'll reach 6'0". Though, I won't have the height advantage in basketball then, which quite sucks.

[Modifly]

You guys are still lucky. We Thai people barely reach 6'0. Lucky I'm 6'2 already.

[dare]

You guys are still lucky. We Thai people barely reach 6'0. Lucky I'm 6'2 already.

Your still lucky I'm 5'6 and I'm now 19

[Oskar]

Yeah, I believe my 5'9" at 14 is quite alright, though. We'll see after another year if I'll be 6 feet, I'm pretty sure I will be, something between 6'0" and 6'2" or so would be fine, but I definitely want to grow taller to about 6'4" or 6'7". Believe it or not, at 6'7" they'd probably put me at 4 or 5 in Estonia, even though I'm a guard, haha.

I just read that 179 cm's is actually 5'11" 2/3rd, but google says it's 5'9" (actually a bit below it, but make it 5'9"), I believe that googles calculator doesn't go to 5'10"~ and such.

By the way, my height, working out 6 times a week, (monday, twice on tuesday and thursday, once on friday) and I can't jump to the rim - what do you think about my jumping ability? Extrmely bad, right? Right now I'm trying to improve it by different workouts, but I really have got no natural jumping ability, at all, unfortunately.

I just read that 179 cm's is actually 5'11" 2/3rd,

Yeah that'd be right, 6'5 is 195cm. 6 inches = 15cm's.

[Martti.]

I was 5'3' at 14, now 6'4 at 17 (160 cm to 194 cm)

[koberulz]

I just read that 179 cm's is actually 5'11" 2/3rd, but google says it's 5'9" (actually a bit below it, but make it 5'9"), I believe that googles calculator doesn't go to 5'10"~ and such.

If you just google '179 centimeters in feet', you get 5.87270341, which is right. The numbers after the decimal point are tenths of a foot, not inches.

[Patr1ck]

I was measured at 5'11" sometime in high school. Last time I measured myself I was 5'9"-ish.

I'm 1.82m, which is about 5'11'', 1.79m is 5'10''.

[J@3]

If you're 182 you're 6 foot flat. 179 is just on 5'11

Anybody play Live 2000 over a server on here? ...I mean, seemed like the logical place to look 'Nba Live series center'; yet I haven't seen much talk about servers or actually playing the game at all.

[Andrew]

NBA Live 2000 is a release that's over ten years old. Ten years ago, probably even five or six years ago, you would've found a lot more NBA Live 2000 discussion and people looking to play. Also, EA has long since discontinued EASO support for the older releases.
