WHAT A NBA PLAYER LOOKS LIKE AGAINST NORMAL HOOPERS! 

Looks like a nice little warm up.

Every move wants to go left. .

More passing to teammates 😅

Workouts and move tutorials and different reads

partly because of the bad coacing staff

You’re pretty much right, but the 2k rating example was kinda pointless since 2k gives a lot of players BS overalls

2K is largely meaningless. Dude is in the L, he's going to kill in open runs whilst playing at 50%.

Wait a guy whose job is to play basketball is better than people with a regular job no way 🥶🥶🥶

I mean 2k rating barely matters when u not getting that much playing time they just give u basic shit

Iconic line

It’s facts fr

ofc they're closer to 6 finals losses and being carried by superteams than any of us

@@John-oo6px 🫵😂

@@John-oo6px way to expose yourself as a dumbass with this reply lmfao

I played Schröder in Europe, was a fair match

​@@mcmerry2846 He wasn't nearly as good in Europe. He really developed in the following years.

I was a 6'2" HS swingman. Played college ball. Came up against Quinn Snyder and Eldredge Recasner (late 80s), two guys that were D1 stars and had little impact in NBA. They were basically unstoppable in pick up games with average to good players. Its insane to think of the level NBA players are.

Yeah he on the Cavs right now. Injured currently and has only played in 2 games this season.

he was a first round pick and averaged over 10ppg in his best year. Not that bad at all even for NBA

It just shows how big of a difference in anthleticism. Bro is playing randoms. Ofc he can't do the same thing in the NBA with the best athletes in the world

When you 6'7 and athletic and playing your whole life then I'd expect nothing less. Once you got like '4 or more over your comp then you're unstoppable.

@@moballardfulthe thing is most humans think they’re closer to the top than they really are. They have no idea how far their skills are.. there needs to be a reality check

​@tomevers6670 Facts, I've never player against nba players, but I played high school ball with 2 D1 guys one plays for the Oregon Ducks and I learned how big the gap was real quick. When they transfered to my high school I went from starting and averaging 18-8-5 to the bench and getting destroyed every practice lol. Couldnt guard them fr, just a different level. Teams would come watch us play just to show their players what pro prospects looked like and the level they were at

@@tomevers6670 mainly because they're good or decent for people that don't do it for a living nor have a possibility of doing it professionally at an elite level.

Gets no minutes because he missed those two jumpers. nba is brutal these days if you can’t make EVERY shot. He has a great work ethic, I’m sure he will keep improving his shot and start getting more and more minutes over the next couple years.

eh, my guy is optimistic and too kind.

not really, there are NBA players who went overseas and failed miserably because they were bad

His Handle still needs some working though

⁠this. and it shows even in this pickup game.

😂😂😂😂😂

He's gonna force his pickup team to pick his brother?

He’s closer to Giannis than they are to him

I imagine someone like Giannis, LeBron or Zion on a drive could put one of these guys in hospital, no joke. It's crazy how big the difference is between NBA stars and lower professional or college level players. Let alone NBA stars vs good normal hoopers.

@@user-tk2uv7lq5u the thing is Thanasis was drafted in 2015 while Giannis on 2013, Giannis was only 2 years in the NBA and clearly not a star yet. Meaning Thanasis was drafted because of his skill. Just being drafted by an NBA team means you are better than a million basketball players out there.. now those pick up game players on the gym are part of the millions..

Ebonics

what? he was basically walking down the court... did he even run once>?

You were just lazy as a kid, son. THIS is the power of compounding over long periods of time. It ain't magic, son.

@@samsun01 Nobody said it was magic BRO. It's luck at some point as a youth, typically resulting in big jump in skill & surpassing your peers, followed by said abilities compounding at a sufficient rate until you're skilled enough to be a pro. Alternatively, you could also simply be born genetically superior like Joel Embiid who didn't start basketball until 15 but was a 1st round draft pick within 5 years. Magic, no. Worth spending time pursuing if you lack the requisite natural physical gifts & especially if you possess intellectual gifts? Absolutely not.

@@JNJ1014OK fair points bro. Steph changed the game of basketball, so clowns like Joel Embiid won't matter much in due time in the era of "touch fouls" (anyone can get inside the paint easy). It's all about mastering the fundamentals first, talent or no talent. In the NBA, everyone has talent, so guys like Steph are utilizing concepts that Mamba figured out eons ago, which is put in the 'investment' in your training (there are tiers of quality to training but that's another topic), you will compound it at a much faster rate which no one, talent or not, can catch up. Black Mamba proved it. He wasn't much of a 'talent' in NBA standards, not TMac or Vince.

I played Junior, everytime I go lace them up I wax everyone on the ice. You don't need to be a pro to wax everyone on the ice, there's a big difference

@@DonVito_ What'd you play, USHL or NAHL? Either way, you're in the 1% of 1% of all people who play hockey if you play Junior A, and the super elite of those 1% play pro. But I agree, I know kids in the USHL who'd wax any men's league.

they did that thing as a hobby first.... they were just so extremely good at it that they could turn it into a paying job, beating out hundreds of millions people to be the top 0.001% skill level at that hobby :).

@@pheesh9141yea, he needed to be most skillful 6'7 guy around. How many 6'7 people you know?😂

@@ogposer More than a couple, and they play bball but nothing approaching that ability. Anyway, you seem to be hinting that it's natural gifts that determines it, while the person I was responding to seemed to be hinting that it's because they take it seriously vs a casual hobby. Truth is in the middle, you of course need both to make it :)

lol if it was that easy….so you saying if you played hoops as a profession you’d be playing in the nba now?

Just also wanted to note how on a lot of his impressive plays the defense looks like they just gave up. Like the mentality of seeing someone so much better than you you don’t even try your best. Not Tryna hate on this guy at all. Just taking notes on how I could improve my own game

i like this@@ethanwalker7320

Length really does a lot for you: his crossovers and his fakes aren't really fakes, they're actual moves that he pulls out of because his reach is just that long. Hard to defend when he's controlling your direction just by swinging his arms side to side

Like a boxer counter punching. He allows you to commit, then reacts off of that.

Yeah, it's something im trying to replicate as a footballer. When the game is effortless to you, your style changes

It's light work when he taller than everyone on the court, gets professional coaching and care

@@ogposer he sauced so many guys his size, and there was some funky looking whites guys there who were like 6'10 and taller than him

just a reminder, any decent No NBA hooper would destroy these hoopers.

Buddy he’s definitely not the worst NBA player check your words bud

@@user-dv8pm8ug4g Buddy, focus on reading comprehension before telling me to watch my words. NO WHERE did I say that this guy is the worst player in the league. The actual WORDS MATTER. But this guy who is far from a top tier NBA player yet dominates these guys. The worst player in the league would do the same. Before you get triggered next time, try some critical reading.

@@Syrin23 yea it's kinda been said a million times already, stfu

@@Syrin23 You need to work on your grammar. Your use of syntax is more important than his ability to comprehend what you're saying. You left it wide open to interpretation. If you didn't want people to infer that you were speaking on that player specifically. You should have stated that directly. You didn't, you made a direct statement on a video that is specifically centered around one player. That's the frame, and you are operating inside of it. Sit down, stupido.

how would he be in the league if he couldn’t hang against those type of players, that’s just not his role on the team he’s on

him vs an average person (6’7” vs 5’8”) is the equivalent of an average person vs a 3rd grader (5’8” vs 4’9”), on an 8 foot basket. no skill required to dumpster the average. we need a pinoy league, see some actual sauce. only people making plays in the big leagues now days are pgs.

@@_nikcap

​@@_nikain't no one trying to see 5'5" hoopers who don't set screens, can't dunk, and throw slow ass passes.

There’s not that much of a difference. Mindset and the smallest tweaks make the difference at that level

they are trying hes just that good 😂😂😂😂😂😂

footwork, pacing, bumping, and different ways to seal off defenders while scoring. he makes it look easy because of his elite fundamentals. while also going at half speed and being one of the tallest guys on the court. he’s in a different league.

theyre all trying to play defense. there's ppl way worse than him thatll make u look like ur not trying on defense

​@@sprinklolz literally 👏🤣

theres even a video on this channel of michael porter jr. ,from the nuggests, making the nba player in this vid look like his defenders… Crazy to see the different levels of skill in the league.

That's literally everything

What you really mean to say is- bigger, stronger, faster, and more skilled. When you have all 4 against your opponent, your opponent becomes a traffic cone

Still have to be out 10,000 other 6’7 guys

@@JoshuaYeshuaCSULB true! What a tough game to go through …

@@JoshuaYeshuaCSULB10,000 guys is easier to beat than millions

They would addapt

travels all over the place and the handles aren't the best...just sayin

🤣🤣

Nahhhh. I played with d1 guys. I’m a scrub, but I could hang.. remember, even at the D1 level, there’s levels.. a UConn d1 isn’t the same as a cal Berkeley, which isn’t the same as siue… all d1 schools, but its levels. Just like high school, you might be a varsity player, but you’re at the weakest school in the state. It’s not the same. The point being, there are some real hoopers at the park. A walk on from a lesser college could get washed.
