[TheCrazy243]

Im point guard and shortest player. (5'1) Im the fast handle dribble. My shooter are poor :/ i have to lay up and score.

[youwatchmejerk]

[quincy367]

[kingdomhearts648]

[tootplox]

Gj explaining, didn't go in depth though, but that's unnecessary

[DjArmando25]

good stuff



[helpimtoosexy]

thanks, that did help me alot with all of this! :)

[Angelrox03]

how do the positions look on half court? or what are their spots that are usually where they are asked to be at for drills and practices.

[WestSideFreedom]

@UnknownGamerX Good luck, You dont have to be the tallest, just make sure your taller than some & train for that position. If your good, You can make it :)

[WestSideFreedom]

Im 5'8 & I'm a small forward :P Haha but Im playing for 7th so I guess thats tall?

[UnknownGamerX]

@WestSideFreedom im also trying for 7th but idk what position to play i guess im kinda tall

[543Dexter]

[onlychamoNCC]

THANKS. Living in Ny for 7 years now, and im just getting involve with the american sports. As a good Hispanic i was all soccer, but now i really enjoying the NBA, i just learned the rules but i had this confusion with the positions. you were very HELPFUL :)

[PeaceILiveFor1]

I play point guard mainly but 1/10 I play shooting guard

[killer123223]

i really liked it but i really wanna play basketball but i wanna now like where i stand not  just basic info but 5/5 great job anyways

[WoodCutKing]

sweet im getting into basketball (recreational level) and have been trying to understand this all day.

[tallmanbrad91]

Very informative... I had no idea that there were specific and titled positions until i watched this...

[JamesJerzak]

I am centre :D

[2k10cormac]

Is the centre like a post player?

[remaz06remaz]

who the fuck would want to dislike this??!

[SoulZackhunter]

head banger the street term...thats what she said lol

[TheRealness180]

@SoulZackhunter y is that funny white boy?

[sephiroth09914356]

u forgot the 69

[brutaka359]

Not surprised a black person is showing us how to play basketball :)

[TheRealness180]

@brutaka359 yeah black and hispanics are physically stronger and more talented then white people,thats why

[wannabeserpento99]

@TheRealness180 can you ice skate ?

[rustykeys178]

@TheRealness180 thats not true well with hispanics its certainly not they have a similar physical structure to white people, black people often have naturally higher muscle density than white which is why they are often faster runners however this also means white people are often better at swimming because they float better so it takes less energy, if anything people of mixed race are often physically superior to black and white people because they have a hybrid of both physical structures

[TheRealness180]

@rustykeys178 stop lieing to ur self.not let me get back to watching sergio martinez beating the crap out that white boy kelly paklik

[ShShill]

point guard

[TheJuluk]

She looks like Lil' Wayne's sister

[Nirvezz]

I'm called the team's A hole. The rare but equally important 6th position. I throw the ball at the oponents heads and starts fights. :P

[CamCanter1324]

I was new to my team and didnt understand what my coach was telling me but this really helped

[tgfp123]

3 people have learning disabilitys

[Journeys1with1Me]

[cookiekrisp13]

[reallyshutup]

@www816 strong forward.. dont u mean power foward..

[PaTzYgArCIa]

im point guard (PG) and and my name is Patsy Garcia (PG) and also my # is always 13 so im PG (point guard or Patsy Garcia) 13

[JerkinnPassion69]

I Play PG

[latintantramaster]

If my position were called Small Forward I would seriosly consider whether to play.

[man2oo]

10x

[tiemo25]

I guess the way you described it, Im a shooting guard. I'll shoot jumpers, but i like to get to the basket. But i don't think a 27 year old 5'10 185lb dude is making it to the NBA anytime soon. :)

[leyeen]

@tiemo25 you never will 0.0

[Lockerz0inviter]

Wow I came here to ask the same question I'm the tallest in our team I'm a good ball handler and I'm great at defending

[bargnanigarnett]

im 17 and i started playing basketball i like center powerforward im also 6"2 in height and im italian like bargnani im impressed im that tall im taller then my whole family :)

[GamoWhisperVH]

@bargnanigarnett i just turned 14 and im 6'4. so thats not very impressive. but i guess its pretty tall for an italian.

[GamoWhisperVH]

@ArjunPankhania then dont read it dumbass. put the turban back on your head, and go back to india.

[GamoWhisperVH]

@GamoWhisperVH  oh im sorry your are from uk. in that case put your white glove on and sip tea with your pinkies up.

[GamoWhisperVH]

@ArjunPankhania  im not italian dumbass. im american. so grow a set and grow up.

[iloveshow1000]

[shthd84]

[iloveshow1000]

[TheFallen8v]
