February 21, 20241 yr Author Some of you apparently think this is how I step into a shot while playing 5 on 5 basketball. I didn't know I needed to go game speed. I'll get that clip up soon, sorry.
February 21, 20241 yr Author Wait I think some of you think I was actually trying to dribble there, too. I was pounding the ball because it was underinflated. But real hoopers would probably recognize that. Edited February 21, 20241 yr by ztejas

Best pair of shoes I've ever owned. I was just fucking around - if I was actually going to shoot these are my go-to rn and they're still fresh. Maybe I should quit wearing them though because that size 11 is going for $300.
February 21, 20241 yr Author I went to some Perryman shooting camps growing up. I remember the first one I went to (maybe 20 years ago) after my dad picks me up one day he goes "Man, Perryman really let himself go"
February 21, 20241 yr Author I still have shorts from there. I'll whip anyone here 1 v 1 wearing the Perryman shorts. In Austin.
February 21, 20241 yr Props for putting yourself out there but I’m probably swatting that shot somewhere between the 4th and 5th row in the stands, not even joking.
February 21, 20241 yr I haven’t touched a basketball in years. He looks possibly taller than me but I’m way more powerful (5’11 180 but can bench 225, etc) and would just back him down into the paint all game. If he gets his outside shot going he’d have a chance but that’s it. Overall really not worth my time.
February 21, 20241 yr 5'11" 180 dude who can bench a whole 225 "owns" the paint. Shit, is Helobious becoming my new favorite poster?

February 24, 20241 yr TJ is there, so we know Brandy did not eat him. Bad joke aside, my oldest went to the “Brandy Perryman Shooting School” almost 20 years ago and, as expected, a less athletic version of BP could still hit every freaking shot.

Bad joke aside, my oldest went to the “Brandy Perryman Shooting School” almost 20 years ago and, as expected, a less athletic version of BP could still hit every freaking shot. former longhorn mike murphy was my HS coach, and one day in practice he got pissed at one of our better players and took him off the floor while we scrimmaging. coach murphy subbed himself in, stood in one spot about 28 feet out, and proceeded to swish four shots in a row on four consecutive possessions before angrily walking off the court and letting our teammate back in. it’s stuff like that that always makes me laugh when Joe Schmo thinks he can beat a pro/former pro 1 on 1 or in a shooting contest.

February 24, 20241 yr Buddy of mine played college ball at SWTSU, now known as Texas State. He asserts that, with a little more weight, he might have gotten an NBA sniff. Perhaps, but what do I know? In our mid-20s, we’d do neighborhood shootarounds at the shitty metal only rims/backboards. I’d miss damn near every shot, because I had zero skill and would occasionally rely on the backboard or rim. I’d say, “wow the rim is not forgiving” and after a swish, he’d retort “because you cannot shoot.” I cannot recall whether he missed a shot…
February 24, 20241 yr My son's roommate at UT is going to try to walk on for the 'horns. I will try to update on the hilarity that is sure to ensue.

He might be reading the consensus view of next year’s roster - not realizing that shitty D1 basketball players are still pretty good. Note: I used “shitty” for effect, not as a legitimate assessment of next year’s roster. Yet.

This is a perfect thread for that. My oldest (little) brother is actually good friends with a current walk-on at Texas. That kid is really, really fucking good.

February 24, 20241 yr Honest take: Ironically I think my right shoulder is permanently fucked from benching so much, not kidding. Had to retire that exercise. I hit 225 plenty of times though which was always my dream. I feel like I’d dominate him down low but I have 0 outside shot now. I had a sick floater (like people at the court knew me for it), mediocre ball handling but was good enough at the 3 to make you think about it. No disrespect but back in my prime I’d absolutely wipe the floor with this fucker. Oh well.

February 24, 20241 yr there’s probably nobody here i’d beat at 1 on 1, even in my “prime”, but when it comes to dropping dimes, being slow, and fouling out, ain’t none of y’all got shit on me.

You just keep adding information that makes me increasingly confident that you would have no shot against me 1v1.
