So today we’re jv tryouts nd i decided to go to see the skill gap between me nd basketball players who play basketball for a living.
Well first we did some layups but i did horribly bad. Like I didn’t score any. Then we did dribbling. I did okay but I was looking down the whole time which I think is bad idk. After that we finally got into shooting drills. We did some catch nd shoot and it did good like I only missed once, but then we did catch nd dribble then shoot and I didn’t score once. I looked retarded in front of everyone because when coach talked about the drills we would do I always did them wrong since this was my first basketball tryout and I never have played basketball ever in my life (I only play soccer)
After shooting drill we got into the fun stuff. Which was 5s. I literally prayed I got a bad team so I would get the ball sometimes. (My prayers were answered 50%) My team consisted of 2 basketball players who are friends with each other because they play for the same aau basketball team. Nd then there was me, another trash person who was trying out (the only difference between me and him was that he was obese), and a pe warrior.
Our team was just horrible apart from the 2 players.
(Here’s where I got enlightened on how fast paced basketball really is)
So the way the 5s were structured is that since there were so many people trying out the couch split us all into 7 teams of 5. So 3 teams went on one half of the basketball court and 4 went on the other half.
My team wasn’t the first up we had next though. Now here’s where I got hit hard on how fast paced it is. So I got on my man nd immediately he shoved me and ran for a layup. LIKE HOLY FUARKK THAT GUY WAS SO FUARRKK FAST. LIKE WHEN I PLAY BASKETBALL IN PE THE GAME FOR ME WAS FAST PACED BUT NOW THAT SHIT IS LIKE 10X FASTER HOLY FUARKK (but still I was confused on what just happened) and keep in mind he was my height. He ended up losing possession due to everyone crowding the paint nd the ball went out of bounds. After that in front of like everyone I was open on corner nd I get passed the ball but the way the guy passed the ball to me had me extremely startled ( it was one of the aau players on my team) what he did was that he fucking passed it to me but with fucking power. Like if he was trying to fucking kill me with it. Then I go for a 3 and completely FUCK IT FUCKING UP. WITH THE FUCKING COACH WATCHING ND SHIT TOO. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED I HAD TO LAUGH THAT SHIT OFF LIKE BRO WHEN I SHOT THAT SHIT IT LITERALLY WENT BEHIND THE FUCKING BACKBOARD. we ended up losing so we were back off. then right after that the two fucking faggot teammates decided to drop one of us for another guy who was who was good at basketball. (I ended up getting dropped but only temporarily since I would be switching with the fat guy every game) so then after that a couple games went by and we were losing consistently then coach told us to switch sides (that made so sense since we were now going up against better teams lol)
We go out there and there’s this 6”2 freshman who was on varsity for football. He of course black and fast (I didn’t know how fast though. I didn’t realize how fast being FAST really is) we were up next then that 6”2 freshman’s team won again (they were undefeated at the moment) we got in and we were somehow going back nd forth ( the reason we were back nd forth is because they relied on purely layups to score sincd everyone crowded the paint while no one could score long range or 3s (which was surprising since their team had guys who would hit 3s like nothing during pe) so anyways. Then the ball went out of bounds and I somehow got myself guarding the 6”2 guy.
AND HOLY FUCK THAT BLACK FUCKER IMMEDIATELY SAID “iso, iso, iso”
I KNEW I WAS FUCKED. BOTH AAU TEAMMATES WERE SCRAMING AT ME “SWITCH, SWITCH” AND I DIDNT LISTEN BECAUSE MY EGO GOT THE BEST OF ME SINCE WHEN I WOULD GUARD PEOPLE DURING PE I WOULD LOCK THEM UP LIKE CRAZY.
THAT 6”2 FUCKER LITERALLY SMIRKED THEM CROSSED MY UP SO FAST. IT WAS A LAST ND RIGHT THAT HAD ME CONFUSED ND SHIT. I COULDND EVEN RUN BACK ND TRY TO CONTENT SINCE HE WAS…. GONE. I WAS EATING THAT DUST LOKE CRAZY. HE VIOLATED ME. LIKE THAT SHIT OPENED MY FUCKING EYES ON WHAT BASKETBALL REALLY IS.
after that we obviously lost that game nd we were back waiting for our turn again. one of the aau players on our team specifically told me to not guard him again and to switch whenever I ended up guarding him.
For the next couple games the super team that had the 6”2 freshman god we’re still going undefeated md shit but here’s where everything changed……
So we are in again nd we’re going against the 6”2 freshman’s team nd we are going back nd forth then boom I get a rebound and I have the chance to go for a mid range shot. I have time since I had insane positioning nd shit (I’m crazy lol) (the real reason is because im utter horseshit at basketball so no one bothered to guard me JFL) (it’s either that or I don’t fucking know lol).
But anyways I take my time with my jumpshot
Then
