I play pick up ball on the basketball court with the guys. Only a couple of people know how I play. Down low in the post, I'm short 5'9, but 185lbs, slightly built, very , very strong! I have moves out the butt in the low post, and I be killing them! However, when we running full court, they're always telling me to cut for the ball instead of me getting the ball to me from the inside like Kevin Garnett or Tim Duncan. This is the way I play, people tend to look at me as a guard because I'm not as tall as the other guys. I even know up and unders, pump fakes, drop steps, etc. to get shots over taller players.This is my game, anyway to get the stereotypical players to stop looking at me as someone whose not to be in the paint and look at me as the power forward/ small forward I am I can't be stopped when I play this spot, they always want me to play like Rip Hamilton, or Reggie Miller and that's not my game, then the always get mad when I don't cut to the basket.I want them to feed me low

you gotta SHOW them your moves..... seeing is believing. Most of the time, the shorter guys aren't posts, b/c it's hard to get a rebound, and shoot over taller guys. But, hey, if you CAN do all you say just show them your stuff and they will start to appreciate your versatility.

Bro are you a retard? At 5 ft 9 you won't get very far with a low post game vs. tall players! If you wanna go far you need to develop an outside game, and ball handling skills as well. As well as being able to drive. Keep your current skills you'll be able to utilize them in certain situations.

Dude, you're 5'9, no offense, but even my cuz can stuff you. You need to learn to play outside of the post. Learn to shoot. Your a guard you need to put effort into learning to shoot. Only being a post player means you're lazy and don't want to try to shoot.

Is this the question? Or is this just a waste of time for people out there trying to actually help people answer their questions instead of feeling sorry for you.
