hello people, I just joined the system less than three weeks ago, I guess that makes me a newbie i'm hoping to find a professional here whom I can always come to for the theory aspect, I hope I won't be disappointed.
I'm catching up real fast on the game due to my passion for it but there are still some terms and condition I don't know.

wow! *claps for him*
how is the knee now? do you walk well

I walk well.... but can't run well...

Dunking is for tall players with very good jumps.... it's all about precision..... it's not really necessary tho. Personally, I prefer shooting from the 3 points spot...lol...that feeling you get when the ball leaves your hands, knowing in your mind that it's going all the way and then the "swuush " sound it makes when it enters is just awesome!

can dunking be done even if you are not under the rim? or not close to it

for me 3point is still a very big problem, the ball becomes heavy at that spot and I do feel pains. I also find it difficult holding my follow through from that point

AfricanApple:

This kinda sport requires strength, stamina and aggression o...

Are you fit?

Being tall is not the only prerequisite o...You need that muscles and balance... And that will make you look masculine

I prefer the sexy Africanapple

You know what dunking is right?


You have to keep practicing... I know how hard it can be, especially on a NBA standard court.... trust me.. it ain't easy...but with practice, and exercises to strengthen your arm,it'll become a piece of cake.

Lolz...If an expert says so...then I'm cool with it...
You know basketball and football are quite similar...The difference is the distance being covered..

So mum and dad were all basketballers?

the team that I'm training with, you need to come and see their girls, sexy ladies even the ones with big ukwu no yam legs and they play well, they even play against their males
so herald9 I don't think it will make me masculine, it would only make me stronger, besides I'm too soft for my own liking, I wanna be strong and aggressive

JeffreyJamez:


Na there them meet o lol

Lol, it must have been a romantic meeting

I don't know what dunking is, I only know it has to do with shooting

so you mean courts are often different in size?

I hope it becomes a pieces of cake very soon

This is called Slam dunking [img]http://noontimesports.files./2010/02/natedunk.jpg[/img]

It's an aggresive way of putting the ball in the net at very close range....


Yes there are different court sizes.. The one for Amateurs,then Standard one...and then NBA standard.

AfricanApple:
Lol, it must have been a romantic meeting

Lol trust me,it was far from romantic

JeffreyJamez:

Eyaah! No sport is free of injury sha ... that's why these days,I prefer staying at home and punching the hell out of my FIFA14...

At least no one will break my legs from there...
