As a fellow B-Ball player, I woud like to know
What your best part of your game? and what do you think you bring to your team that nobody else does?
6 months ago, i would say that my running defence was awesome. running after a player who got a loose ball and somehow managing to stop him from having an easy shot. But now, i would say my lay-ups are the best part of my game. I'm not tall enough to dunk (often, it has to be a eprfect run to the hoop for that to happen), so i worked on my lay-ups big time and that practice has payed off. 4 years ago, i was lucky to score 8 points in a game. now i average 12 per game, with a highest score of 22.
what i bring to the team? hhmm.... dont know. very high enthusiasm i guess. and also being the only player who has to lay down at the end of the game cause i pushed it over the limit
playing outside in the australian summer heat are not the best b-ball conditions in the world

It's a dagger, a shooter that can dunk, that surprizes every coach I play agaisnt!
On a little bit of an off-topic note, I'll be coaching my former elementary school's team in the fall. Hopefully in a few years I'll be coaching my High School's team, because who knows how much grade 7 basketball I can handle watching. 
On the defensive rebound thing, when I talk to oldtimer Blazer fans, they always bring up Bill Walton. I guess when Walton used to play for the Blazers(won the only Championship for the Blazers. 👍 ), he'd go up for the defensive board and by the time he's landed, the ball would be in the hands of a player leading the fastbreak. 
That's something. 
Worst smilie ever.
Not sure I know what that means. Do you play on any teams?
I did nail the game winning 3 though. Yessssssssssss! 👍 Also, the guy on our team won the dunk contest and won $500. All our team got was a certificate for gourmet Pizzas. 
Not a bad first prize.
The dunk that won the contest was awesome though. He bounced the ball at the backboard, banked it, caught it in midair for reverse dunk. But he was one of those guys, who spent waaaaay too much time practicing dunking. He wasn't that much help on the tournament end. This is a secret, but he was on the high school team, so technically, I don't think he could've accepted that $500 prize. 
One of the reasons why I'm so glad to have a school nearby who has their gym open all summer. 
They are harder to block as well.
At least, I've been on the winning teams, which eases the pain. 
I couldn't give him room, because of his shooting ability, but he was also one of those post up players that no matter how hard you foul him, he nails the shot like nothing happened. 👎 I haven't played with him for like a year, and he's gotten even bigger now. When I saw him last month, his arms were about size of small legs. When I nervously asked him that since his arms gotten so much bigger, his shooting must be little off. He replies, "Yeah, but I finally played little pickup game couple weeks ago. Took me few minutes, but it came back, no problem." I told him, we'll play again sometime, as long as somebody else would guard him.
