You vs Skal

[Mike-D]

For our 25th HS reunion, we played a pick up game. To 10. It went on forever.

What's the score?

 

[UKGrad93]

Yeah, genius, and have you also happened to watch Cal's teams put up the top 4 team blocked shot totals in UK history? And have exactly one season in which the opposition hit 40% against them?

What an incredibly idiotic comment.

May need to double pump fake. But same still holds true.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Could I win? Yeah maybe theres a shot. Would I get beat out of the gym at least 5 times? Definitely.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

1000% I would win, I can get 1 bucket on anyone

Anthony Davis begs to differ.

 

[lakercat]

Didn't you know, everyone on here is a basketball god, or were when they were in their prime? Could I now? Not likely; I could avoid being blocked 15 times, but if we played a best-of-seven this way, I would lose 4-0, or get lucky and lose 4-1. In my prime, I maybe would lose 4-1 or 4-2, especially if he played hard. I had a great three-point shot, but I'm fairly short. I played some HS varsity, had some double-digit games playing varsity. In other words, I wasn't great, but didn't suck.

 

[Teachable Moe]

What's the score?

Who knows? My 25th was almost 25 years ago.

Anthony Davis begs to differ.

I said anyone, I meant anyone.

 

[I am stupid]

Bring it on Skal. I would let him block a few, score a few, then do this.......

 

[Nubb16]

Yes

Hey man, the OP asked a question that basically has a yes or no answer. Did you expect everybody to just say , nah, could never win against that guy?

No.

But did I expect someone to answer the question in a way that seems to be a ludicrous shot at Cal and his teams?

Again, no. But maybe I should have, as I should know better than to underestimate the ways that people can come up with to be creatively stupid on this board.

 

[UKGrad93]

So you're saying I shouldn't pump fake?

 

[Dreklie]

I think I could ... as long as I got really lucky and made a tough shot lol ...

Gotta have confidence man.

 

[Dreklie]

Gotta have confidence man.

Never been a basketball type guy, was always Baseball / Football

 

[stevo51]

I scored quite a bit when I was younger. Now I just dribble.......

 

[downthehatch]

I think I could maybe do it against Dillon Pulliam if he twisted an ankle or something. But, Skal, no I don't think so.

 

[herodotus6]

I'd go with an up and under. Pump fakes might throw your back out.

 

[screwduke]

Yes.

 

[BengalWACO]

I'm 6'7" and 270. I could Charles Barkley big-butt him and shoot 1-14. I'd have no chance of stopping him though so if I don't hit 1 out 14 I would lose.

I like your chances.

 

[Jkwo]

Is everyone here just talking in terms of pickup, like call your own foul?

I mean, I could knock his skinny ass over and score, but if there's an actual third party acting as a ref, I can't imagine I'd get enough clearance not to get swatted unless I shot from way back - and I imagine it would be the same for most everyone here under 6'5
