Experience: I've been playing basketball all my life...if that is what you are asking
Favourite NBA Player: Kevin Garnett
Realistic NBA Comparison (And Why): Trenton Hassell because I can shut the BLACK kids down but offensively...I'm suspect.

Position: 2 guard mostly
Experience: 4 years @ GSU 4 years in YMCA League Father Played 1 game for the Clippers ( WoOt ) Brother Maurice is a Junior at GSU he plays the 1 or 2 mostly , played 1 season with Michigan.

[The X]

Is it me or is The X just huge?

haha, I'm a huge bitch

but seriously, I ain't that big....I got a bit of muscle and muscle is heavier than fat....I got big bones (besides the Southpark joke, I actually do)....I wear my weight pretty well and I'm definately not fat....just a bit out of shape etc....

my ideal weight I've set myself is about 90kgs (10kgs less than now)....at least I ain't 110kgs like I was a couple of years back....

and once you guys hit uni and starting hitting the grog/piss/alcohol hard and stop playing bball and sports (which will happen as it's hard to keep up when you have to study full-time and work part-time and then work full-time) you'll find that you put on weight....

either way, don't come down the lane if you're under 75kgs against me or you'll get clobbered

[J@3]

Name: Mike McKormick
Height: 4'9"
Weight: 92 pounds

If I ever played against you, I'd be scared of like stepping on you or something.

[Hotshot]

Name: Rohit Vimal
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 69 Kgs
Age: turning 18 tomorrow
Location: India

Preferred Position: Forward
Playing Position: SF
Experience: 8 years
Favourite NBA Player: Tim Duncan
Realistic NBA Comparison (And Why): I really don't know.

Strengths: Shot blocking, getting to the ft line, rebounding
Weaknesses: Handles, stamina

Favourite move you can do: Does blocking shots count?

Favourite move you've done once: Kinda similar to K0be4mvp's except it was a reverse layup and I was almost parallel to the floor. I just let it flip and it somehow went it.

Favourite place to shoot: Top of the key

Biggest shot you've made: In the finals of the South Zone tournament.. the score was tied with about 8 seconds left on the clock and we had the ball. I was hovering around the ft line and someone on my team (don't really remember who) passed me the ball with about 2 ticks left. One of the guys on the other team was right up on my face but I just let fly and it went in. They didn't have any TO's left so by the time they got the ball to halfcourt the whistle went. That was amazing.

Best game you've played: ^I think I scored only around 17 points but I had a ton of blocks in it.

Most satisfying moment: Every time I get a clean piece of the ball and swat it out of bounds.

Most shameful moment: Getting our ass whopped on the national level.

Most regretted moment: None. I enjoy every minute of basketball I play.

Most painful moment: Getting a muscle tear on my leg... it kept me out for a good one month.

Basketball Goals for the future: I'm not even thinking about baskeball for now. I have a bunch of exams coming up.. gotta concentrate on getting through all that first.

[8-Hype]

My brother is the next Shaq!

I was 5'11 when I was 12. I'm now 6'5. He has no future.

You don't know how much he will grow, and that was a joke, of course. Rodman was 6'0" at the age of 18, and now he is 6'7"... so you don't know...

[air gordon]

Name: Nick
Height: 6'0
Weight: 185 (btw anyone know the conversion rate for libs to kg?)
Location: Chicago

Preferred Position: SF
Playing Position: i guess it's 2 fold for me: In high school/organized ball, on the blacktop against the "brothers", I'm forced to play guard because of my height. In rec leagues, I could play PG-SG-SF... PF too if i'm playing against asians
Experience: 4 Years high school team, around 10yrs in Rec leagues
Favourite NBA Player: Scottie Pippen (past), Ron Artest (present)
Realistic NBA Comparison (And Why): Scottie Pippen. Obviously not as good, but I patterned my game on his: Defense first mentality and distributor on offense with some scoring punch

Favourite move: Posting up smaller guards, driving on big men

Favourite move done: on a 2-on-1 fastbreak, fake around the back pass to a layup

Favourite place to shoot: left wing 15-20 ft

Biggest shot you've made: 2 free throws to seal the upset win against a highly ranked conference rival. regular shot: layup drive and the foul against a 6'10 player in the closing seconds of a high school game

Best game you've played: in a triple OT game my junior year, I came awfully close to getting a triple double. the scores table guy screwed me on a few rebounds & assists. also my senior year i locked down some high profile scorer

Most satisfying moment: high school: defeating the hated cross town rival my senior year. rec leagues: winning the 18-21yr old divsion's championship

Most shameful moment: missing free throws that would have sealed a win

Most regretted moment: some guy blatantly tripped me after i stole the ball from him so i got up and told him i'd KILL him after the game. Little did i know this guy's brother was crazy a gangbanger. my team won the game but there were some guys in cars waiting for me afterwards. luckily my friends were able to sneak me out of the gym

Most painful moment: dislocating my shoulder: i drove to basket-jump stopped-shot faked to get the big man off his feet- jumped into him.. this lardo was on his way down and i was on my way.. then came the "pop"

Basketball Goals for the future: try to get back in my high school/early college shape *unlikely and make sure some chump 18yr old doesn't smoke me on the blacktop or in rec leagues

[8-Hype]

anyone know the conversion rate for libs to kg?

lol.. how high was the rim in thet league? can 3 yr olds even heave the ball to the height of a jordan jammer? must have been a lot of work for the refs!

My dad's 5'6, my mum's 5'4... I'm not sure what went wrong with me.

that's where the postman enters the picture

nah, but seriously, I think height skips a generation, so if your granddad is tall then you might be tall....

for me my dad and mum are both 5'3", my older sister is 5'1", younger sister is 5'2", my older brother is 5'7" and I'm 6'2" so I got lucky
