If I were to classify my own self---I'd give you the description that the other players give me when I take the court. Seeing that I am usually much older (my age = 50) than the other players--they call me "O.G". Presumably meaning "original gangster I am 6ft 2in, wt 185 lbs.. But my game is qualified because my skills are good and my fitness level is above average. So, I can usually be a significant factor on the court---making a key defensive play/steal or stop that causes a turnover, hitting key shot, getting a key offensive rebound. I like it when younger pjlayers see me, then try to size me up and think they can clown on me. I just put them to shame in front of they girlfriends or buddies by calling for the ball on the wing, then giving the signal to my team mates that i want to run an "iso" [isolation] set on this 'fool'. Then I do a quick jab step and execute my patented behind the back dribble, spin move, and slap the back board when I take one last hard dribble, crouch down low, and accelerate in for a power layup move with my left hand. Then scream "ahhgghhh" like a Japanese shogun wielding a sword as I finish the move strong in the paint. Then all the players say "dyam, OG got game" or "dyam boy, OG done lynched you with a coat hanga". Hey that was an amusing, entertaining, and informative article you wrote REEGSTA.

We invariably have some of these types playing at your local courts around the country. Don't crush those child-like fantasies that they are playing during March Madness or the NBA Finals-they'll have none of that! I am a classic #1 who doesn't try to dribble, but the biggest waste of height! This is really funny. We invariably have some of these types playing at your local courts around the country.

I'm usually the best player on the court, not saying much since it is VT, but I have to say this article has opened my eyes to the player/coach (which i HAVE to be) since i'm playing with a bunch of dimwits usually. but i'll deff. tone it down on calling out screens and such. thanks!
