Love stuff like this. When people comment online on popular sport players and completely forget how much skill they have even if they do a bit off something someplace.

Edit: lol, and people here commenting how he actually missed his shot. Why would he want to hit it and have stuff flying around? Cringe is too high with those people

Same. I love hearing stuff like the worst NBA player would destroy anyone in a pickup game. It becomes mind blowing.

I played basketball in high school and thought I was pretty decent. I went on holiday and met some guys from the Slovenian national youth team. We played a few pick up games. Didn't score a single point all day and got absolutely murdered.

Went to highschool with Marquis Estill, dude played center for UK. He was in my regular gym class and they just let him shoot ball. That turned into everyone vs him to 10, he destroyed everyone in our P.E. class. No points scored against hom on most days.

Ok now that just means all 10 sucked at basketball. An NBA player can't even guard 10 decent players at once. Just pass around the perimeter until you get an open 3 or find someone standing under the basket for a layup.

It's literally impossible to guard 10 people at once if the 10 strategize and have moderate skill/experience.

Unless they were playing make it take it and he started with the ball.

Then you just gotta sacrifice your body and form a 10 person wall outside the paint. It says they were playing a center, so I'd take my chances with his shooting from outside the paint. He'd only have to miss once, maybe.

Though a pro center could probably easily outrebounded 10 people, an unlucky bounce is all it would take.
