I never played high school ball and Im not in good shape. If you are that good could you just walk on?? im still young at 19 but Im only 6 feet tall. I never really "practiced" when I was I kid I would just shoot around which explains why I was just a mediocre player. I can finally dribble decent with my off hand layup etc... Im going to start plyometrics to increase my jump because thats something Ive never been able to do well. I wouldnt mind starting but I could careless if I just rode the bench making 500+ grand a year. I will dribble this ball everyday with both hands until they hurt and make sure Im raining every shot midrange or 3, my vertical will be twice what it is now, and Ill bust my @55 on Defense. NBA players are just people too its just how hard you work right??????//

You never played high school basketball, you have never practiced, you are not in good shape, you are 6 ft tall, you can only dribble decently with you off hand, you can't jump high. I think you need to re-evaluate the level of play that it requires to make it in the NBA. Most of them have been playing since they were 5 years old practicing for 6 or 7 hours a day. You say you will be "raining every shot" and your "vertical will be doubled". Its not mind over matter. And even if you could there are millions of other things you need to be good at. You also have never played organized basketball so you don't know what its like to be in real game situations. I guarantee there are 10 year olds way better than you. And no even if you were "that good" you cant just walk on.

I don't mean to put you down or anything, but you have no idea what it takes to be an NBA player. Third stringers in the NBA are RIDICULOUSLY good players! I have played with some of the top college players in the nation, guys who were all-big twelve and one guy who led the ncaa in scoring. They were phenominal... I mean you can't tell how good they are on TV. When you actually play against them, you find out how awesome they are on the court. And while these guys got drafted, even THEY didn't make an NBA team. Being in the league takes a lifetime of hard work and incredible natural talent. Sorry buddy.... you need to find another dream.

seriosly mate... it helps if you know what your doing. im geussing that nba players did alot of practicing for a lot of years. the population of america alone is 300 million. there are 29 teams in nba plus the d league. there are about 14 players per roster. of them 5 could possibly be 6 foot 1-2 gaurds. so of the whole basketball population on the planet which is probably something close to 500 million you got to fight for 150-170- spots on those teams assuming the will want 6 foot players not taller gaurds. good luck mate.

Dude, you just have to believe in yourself and anything is possible.
I think I heard that in a Hillary Duff song.
