Im having fun doing this but since I got picked by the Heat, I dont get many opportunites to play more than 6-10 mins a game.
coach will start playing you more after 10 or so games. He ups your minutes even if you are playing crappy.


Just got my 1st triple double :) 35-16-12

I started out with the Nets and then demanded a trade. I also made a couple arrogant statements in press conferences. After that, the crowd started chanting "trade him, trade him" every time I was in the game. I got traded to the Hawks after 10 games. I played my first "key game" against the Magic and had a career high 16 points through 3 quarters. So of course I got only 1.5 minute PT in the fourth and down the stretch, when it was a back and forth game with neither team getting more than a 2 point lead, I never got the ball once even though I'd been unguardable in the post. I never touched the floor in OT. Time to demand another trade.

If I weren't getting so many minutes with the Wizards I'd get traded too. But I get played at SG, SF, and PF so I get about 30 minutes a game and am getting lots of double-doubles. Now if I could just do well in those speed drills, I struggle with the dribble skills.

I requested a trade because I wanted to play for the Pacers. Also playing for the Nets was killing my skill points since you get a bonus if your team wins.

:lol: I demanded a trade from the Wizards (I'm a PG and sit behind freakin' wall) and they've been saying trade him trade him but I haven't been moved yet. I'm about 12 games in, so maybe they'll move me soon. The lakers were interested, so I listed them #1, but they aren't marked as interested any more... Bastards.

I usually just go with professional or loyal, but I might just start getting arrogant to get me the hell out of town

same as me. I am playing all over the court since I am 6'10. I also have issues with the dribbling drills, its a struggle to hit bronze.

Here's what I do... Go around the first cone, as your'e rounding the 2nd, kick the sprint in, pass the 3rd, then do a quick crossover at the move cone, make the turn without sprint, then repeat. You can mix in one of the "required" moves to get +5 instead of +3 at the move cone, but I usually just do it the normal way and still get gold. It keeps you more balanced

12 minutes is the way to go especially if you aren't getting much playing time at first

Had three great games this morning with my guy, who is now finally starting ahead of Rashard Lewis.

First game, I had 32 points and 19 rebounds and 6 assists in an overtime win against the Raptors.

Then I had 28 and 14 in a loss, followed by 30/15/5 in a loss to the Suns. I started that game with 9 of our first 11 and had 14 after one. I could've gotten 40 but I had at least 4 or 5 put-backs blocks because I'm not good enough yet to do a simple dunk, so I keep doing delayed layups and getting them swatted on the putback.

I'm now just ahead of Griffin in rookie scoring and just behind him in rebounds per game. They said they're gonna come to me soon to ask who we should trade for before the trade deadline. Guess giving a few arrogant answers (at good times) has helped me lol.
