I've played NBA players a few times. I was a quite good YMCA level player. What you can't imagine is just how fast they are. But what most people really don't see on TV is how strong they are. My brother blocked a European pro player's shot at the rim and above the rim. That guy just brought his other hand up and dunked it through. Scalabrine closer to LeBron James than the likes of me are to him? He's a lot closer. But I considered it an absolute privilege to be on the court with these guys. Fact is, they were actually really nice. I got a compliment on my rebounding. The second time I walked into the gym when this NBA player I'd played against was there, he came over and said hi. He came over to say hi.
