Oh, no. I’ve played guys, close to his athleticism, but at 6’5, I have no chance. I used to play a lot of one on one, or different types of half court. I played Center, and Power Forward, I’m full court, when I was a teenager, and sometimes into my late 20’s. Bit he’s on a completely different level, than me, in that sport.
That’s not to say that I wouldn’t be just as dominant over him, in a hand to hand fight. People’s skill sets, transfer to different sports. He could make me look like a fool, on the court. I could knock him out, or kill him, with several blows.
I’ve actually fought some squirrely guys, like him. It’s not easy. But of just grab their shirt, twist to hold, and land 1–4 blows, and they’re done for.
I was decent, at half court basketball, in my teens, and could dunk two handed. But, I also played what we call.“prison ball.” Cross me over a few times, and I would catch them in the temple, with an elbow. That evened the game, but was admittedly cheating.
I played a two on two match, once, with a friend of mine, against two small black girls. They killed us. We played three games to 21, and I think my partner and I, only scored like 12 points, from all three games…
I play under the rim, and am very physical. I didn’t play dirty with them. But they still would have kicked our assess…
I was always a football, boxing, or basketball player. I had no hope against smaller, more agile players, on non-contact sports.
I’d play the Professor, right now. But I’d get killed…
