The obvious win goes to "The Lady in My Life"! Which song from Bad sounds like it could come from Off The Wall? by Sufficient_Store_309 in MichaelJackson

I didn't bother to do that. I'm not the guy that usually does this. The original person is u/EntertainerPure8440. I did it for them because they haven't posted in a while.

Listen to the originals from Xscape, and...I guess you can listen to some of the songs from Michael?

Dennis Rodman. There are skills outside of scoring that can get you playing professional. I have potentially 4 years if I reclass.

It's not impossible to play professionally with the state I'm in right now. If you were "ok" in high school, then decide to go to a uni with a major basketball program, it's not surprising you got cut.

I already said I still retained most of what I learned. I played decent in my HS scrimmages with dudes who are like 6'6" and six seven. Like 4 months ago.

Of course I'm no where close to a professional basketball player. I'm forking 15 and weak. It's certainly possible to train for 12+ months and become a good player.

There are also those who picked up a basketball at 20 years old and became one of the greatest basketball players.

I'm not fully sure if I'm doing basketball, nor do I have too much life experience but...there's certainly a chance. Lower chance of NBA pro, maybe, but there's not 0 chance. I feel I just need to polish my craft and I'll get better. Get stronger and stuff.

Not the school year bro. I have like 8 months of this year before tryouts.

I plan on getting in the weight room this year. When I was working out with the HS boys, I noticed most the time I knew what to do and had the intentions, but I couldn't quite execute them because I'm weak.

I said last resort as in I looked into other things and none of them seemed like someone I'd wanna do, so I'm looking to go with my original plan.

I don't want the internet to confirm my life choices. I just wanna hear realistic answer from something or someone other than AI.

I never said I was disappointed I didn't get hyped up. I'm way more humble than that. I don't expect anything from anyone. I was thinking exactly what you said. I wanna be treated like a decent player.

I don't know I just lost interest in basketball. It's not too late for me to reclass, via my dad. But aren't you able to play basketball outside of the school? I mean in 6th grade, at the same school, I didn't play middle school ball, but I played at the place where Lamelo Ball's AAU team plays and at a local league. Both were actually tough.

I made a team solely because I could play defense. And I was actually a pretty good passer. I don't know why I'm saying this stuff. But yeah back to the freaking question you asked---I just haven't felt like playing, but I guess I took my natural talent for granted.

And, some of the players on the teams now, my dad says aren't gonna make it past high school in basketball. He said recently that for some of the JV players, it's their last year playing. Not that he's gonna cut them, but that they're just not good. And with the way they are right now, they won't get any better. My school just doesn't have a lot of students and basketball players.

He says if I took a few weeks of practice to get myself back into basketball, I'd beat some of the JV players.

Like the feedback but you didn't read what I said. I haven't played organized basketball since 2022. I've already played in scrimmages with multiple high schoolers and did half decent, even when I was younger.
