if those guys are so good how do they not get nba contracts...i watch these shows and these guys toy w their competition...sometimes though it seems like nobody in that shit plays defense...mofos just seem to stand around and the offense just circles them w fancy footwork and moves but is there any real D?...so how come ballers like hot sauce dont get signed?

also anybody ever see those little kids?playing against adults and beating them.

Some dont have what the nba wants.
Some were in the NBA and couldnt cut it.
Some simply dont want to be in the NBA, thats real.

These guys are good as hell, but can you see them doing that in an NBA game against real players? Possibly yes, but not all of them.

My boy out of Fresno State, Rafer Alston. Some of you might have heard of him playing for the BUCKS. He was the first player ever signed to AND1 as a baller, he was also playing in the NBA at the same time. He is fully capable of playing in the NBA and believe me he can play ball like no other, but as of right now, he is not playing prefessional basketball, you be the judge on why. The name he goes under for AND1 is "Skip To My Lou". You might not specifically be talking about AND1 players, but they are the same thing, just more comercialized. http://www.and1.com/mixtape/player_index.asp There are the AND1 players. Heres my Boy Rafer http://www.and1.com/mixtape/skip.asp

Yes those foo's got game, but playin organized ball, and street ball is a big difference!! And Alston does have game! I watched him at Fresno St.! There are also some NBA players that can play street ball, but the combo dont mix in the pros!!

couldnt players like hot sauce just fancy themselves around nba players?i dont know much about b ball...i enjoy watching it but my knowledge of the game ends there...to me it seems these street ballers could anhaliate anybody in the nba w their moves...unless they dont allow nba players to jump dribble and do cartwheels all over the court.

a lot of the shit they be doin anyways is all travels, carries, and double dribbles...a lot of those foos got game, but on the streets, cuz that shit wont fly in the nba...even though the league barley calls all that shit when it happens, but its obvious in street ball...

They very well could run circles around NBA players but coachs/owners do NOT want to see that in the NBA. Sure Jordan did fantastic dunks and jukes, but he did them with great accuracy, these And1 ballers do acrobatic shit every play. Now you gotta remember, the success of these moves you see on film are probably the only ones that were successfull. For every 1 AND1 mix tape, theres probably 3 blooper tapes worth of footage. Im not knockin these players, with the right coaching they could accell in the NBA. Sometimes id rather watch some And1 shit then an NBA game, it is exciting!
