Ricky Ledo vs John Wall (video)

Its a vid specifically cut for that Ledo kid. Nothing to see here

Lets keep it 100% though. This Ledo kid was playing like Game 7 of the playoffs because he was going against an NBA player, and wanted to prove something. While Wall was out there half speed, and only started to get serious only because he probably didn't want to get completely embarrassed going half speed.

^True story, and I'm not sure if it's being over aggressive either, just a kid wanting to see how his best does against an NBA caliber opponent, who's held in high regard. When I gave the video a second look and saw Wall laughing and joking and !!, I could tell he wasn't on !!.

I think if anyone of us were on the court with an NBA player we would automatically go in A-Game mode to brag to our friends, while that NBA player is out there going through the motions not trying to do anything to hurt himself.

Ohhh in Ledo's case, I wasn't callin him overly aggressive, dude is a top recruit himself. I'm talking about the hood legends who never got that opportunity and tutelage that the NBA players got and try to take out that frustration when they go up against dudes in the League.

I was out at the Goodman last summer when KD was hoopin and a dude in the crowd kept heckling KD sayin "THIS AIN'T THE NBA, THIS IS REAL BASKETBALL NUGGA, REAL BASKETBALL!!!!!" KD hit him with the [pic] and said "Mannnnnn, whatever"

Dan Le Batard called that "overly aggressive gym guy" when he was talking about NBA players playing in these summer leagues like the Goodman and Drew vs playing in a more structured environment like the Olympics.

People don't understand that the 12th dude on a NBA bench will come out and cook your whole hood. When the NBA players get serious and really turn it on, this happens --

lmfaoooo @ this video. first he fouls wall on the jump shot then goaltending on his first layup attempt.


video is designed to make wall look bad but really he was cooking that fool. nice try threadstarter. i know what you were trying to do but you failed.

thats not true at all lol

People[..]ume those dudes are scrubs but those dudes hoop for a living too, hoop against starters and elite players in practice everyday bruh. Josh Selby is a player that barely gets burn for Memphis and I've seen this dude light up cats in these summer league games with ease.

i coach high level players and are good friends wit plenty nba dudes.i just brought out gary forbes to play wi me in dyckman in nyc,and if we went to tha chip game taj gibson was comin.nba guys are generally tha best athletes in tha world but skill wise,plenty of guys are more talented.my team played against tyshawn taylors team in tha 1st rnd last week and held him to 8,forced him into a t.o that led to us winnin tha game

brandon jennings got absolutely dismantled out there last summer in dyckman.jr smith got clamped up so bad early in tha season he quit.tyreke evans just got locked up by a 5'8 kid

tha guys like howard,lebron,durant,bynum etc are what seperates tha league,majority of tha rest of those guys are normal

a lot of niccas just got height
