Steph Curry is the only player to have scored more than 35 points against the Spurs this season

Haha I used to get frustrated watching nba games and did start to believe the league was soft. I'm 21, for context, and I'm very good at basketball. I was at my gym and saw some guys playing a pickup game, and my friend and i asked to join. We were running 3 on 3. My friend and I always joke about how we wanted to play in the nba but would more realistically fit in the D league.

Two minutes into our pickup game, I go up to block a kid who is tall as shit. He is hauling ass and has hops, so I jump as high as I can to try and get a finger on it. This guy smashes down with a Westbrook-essque dunk and yells "yeah! Fuck your bitch!" While dropping his nuts on my shoulder and hanging from the rim. Shits getting heated between us while I am ballin. End of the game, he explains how he is only 14.

fuck, a fourteen year old just made me and my friend work our asses off in a 3 on 3 game. And we got smashed.

Later, in college, I signed up for an intramural league. We all were hardcore dropping fools in practice, but come game day, all bets were off. Fights almost broke out every game (my team was notoriously aggressive, we like to win), and we all got injured in our second playoff game. I bruised my sternum and had to play through it, all though I couldn't breathe, our pg nearly ripped his knee in half, another player got choked out, people getting clotheslined, the works. Wicked intense.

My point? Sure the nba may seem soft nowadays compared to the more physical eras of years past, but no way is it soft. If pickup games at the gym get as competitive as I've played, nba competition is a whole new level of play, and is miles away from soft. I don't talk about the league being soft anymore cause it's flat out wrong. Lol
