My neighbor was a lottery pick. Played in the league for a few years and now plays overseas. He was originally a football star but he would play pick up with us once in a while. Nothing crazy, but stupid fast. He was 5’9ish at the time. Then puberty hit and he grew to 6’5. Played pick up with him a handful of times when he was in college and it was dumb. There was absolutely no way we could guard him in any aspect of the game.

Imagine playing on Trae young and MPJ’s aau team. Straight cardio exercising.

NBA players are on a whole other level. Any D2 players would look like demigods in a pickup vs regular people. D1 players eat D2 players up and then you have the NBA players who are on top of the food chain. Not to mention other pro leagues who are below NBA level but over D1 certainly. It’s fascinating how many levels there are to this shit
