Think You Can Do It?

In the midst of preparing for their playoffs, which start this week in Bismark, ND, the folks in the D-League front office want to make you aware of a special opportunity.

They are holding a Pre-Draft camp...a tryout for anyone who thinks they have the skills to play in the D-League. The camp goes from June 27-29 but registration ends June 2.

Here is the link if you are interested:

Hellz yeah

I'm in........they have to have room for a 30 year old, 5'10" pg who has put on a few pounds and who could, back in the day grab the rim with two hands after one step and off two feet but can now barely touch the backboard.

Just livin' the dream.......

I am assuming

that Blazersedge readers are a cut above on the court. Normal rules of progression wouldn't apply to them.

You're right.

I'd get cut above just about anyone else on the roster.

I will make everyone around me look better

but mostly the other team that's coming at me.

Yes, they will look best of all when compared to me.

I have been known to be wrong, but you won't get rich off THOSE nickels.

God help us...

There was a day I could score on anyone (ask Tony Hartley, 1996-1998 UofO WR) but unfortunately I redefined 'matador defense' and my knee don't work anymore.

I could make it for about 5 minutes

shooting 3's and fouling people. Problem is that I still can't dribble with my left hand and I can only hit from the top of the key.

I think it was from True Hoop

Not sure, but I think it was True Hoop who chronicled a writer trying to make it onto a minor league team around New York. He was there with mostly small-college guys and guys who never made it to college for academic reasons or whatever.

Long story short, the best of these guys were unbelievably dominant. I think Stephon Marbury's little brother was there.

The moral is, the difference between a pick up game and a pro game is huge, and the difference between a minor league game and the NBA is even bigger.
