I wonder if I am/was (as I haven't played in a long while) the best white basketball player on here?

sev has a decent resume.  I actually played for a low-level pro team in Augsburg, Germany. 
it depends

like what we play

for example they used me to defend...I was very athletic and could outhustle even the fastest pointguards...put pressure on the shooter that's hot , distribute the ball and my specialty , shooting 3's

1 on 1 is diff...

I hate 1 on 1.  we sound like similar players....hustle, defense, etc...  In my younger years I was a SG, 3's galore....the last league I played in, an intramural league at Wake Forest Univ, I was a bruising PG who distributed the ball and rebounded.   Never even looked to shoot.

I miss basketball sometimes....

6', so not much of a difference.  One thing I noticed from years ago is that the added bulk, strength and weight was a HUGE advantage in rebounding from when I was so skinny.  I weighed about 165-185 when I was playing a lot.  At WFU I was about 210-220.  Certainly couldn't play for hours like in the old days! 

when I was playing in GE, I liked the game much better than what the US games is at times.....europe was a lot of coming off screens and ball movement.  US was too much 1 on 1.

in US I played streetball and point guard at a comunitty college ...

I felt the game was more physical in US and more in the open

in Europe is more structured and like you said, a lot more ball movement and comming off screens

I really did like the structure better.  More of a team game than the US game.  A lot more grabbing and holding in the US on defense.  Which is good if you are playing defense, but not so much when you are on offense.


It was funny listening to the Germans talk trash to each other... ;D  They would have to translate to me during timeouts and tell me things to call or say about the other players.  It was a lot of fun.  Had beer after every game.

I caught crap too.  I was taught to ALWAYS keep a hand on someone you are guarding when they have their back to you.  Also to use your forearm to control their movement.....but in GE it was a foul and players whined about it.  Blocking out on rebounding was very different too, much less using your hands to get position.

sev has a decent resume.  I actually played for a low-level pro team in Augsburg, Germany. 

Which division? 2.Liga? Regionalliga? A few months ago i played 1-1 against a former 2.Liga-Player. He was in his mid forties bud still in great shape. I hab no chance guarding him. He hit like 90% of his jumpshots, even from just inside the three point line and with a hand in his face.

It was quite a few years ago, early 90's, and they always referred to it as the III division.  We had a decent season and I heard they moved up to II the following season.  Does that help? It was probably the equivalent of Div II college basketball here in the states at the time.  I had a lot of fun.

Division III is Regionalliga. That's good - if your not a bench player from the own youth program you should have earned a few bucks. Germany won the eurpean championsship in 93, so the early 90's were a good time for german basketball. Our team played one of the players from the 93 championsship team a few weeks ago. Hansi Gnad, 6'10 and about 260pounds in good shape, now 46 years old. He still kicked our ass of course.
