Anybody know how to get noticed by NBA teams, a very good friend of mine played ball at Southwestern then went on to play pro ball in israel. He came back a few weeks ago after the israelis tried to contract rape him and hes 10X better than ive ever seen him. i dont know how good players in the NBA are but he beat me in around the world (5 in a row from 7 spots inside then outside the 3 pt line) only missing once in 71 shots. ridiculousness.

around the world??? really?

But in all seriousness, you can contact the team's player personnell department directly. That stuff is all over the internet

My friend from high school, Garrett Temple, was a d-leaguer who tried out for the D-league and got noticed by the rockets and bam, there he was, playing for a couple of years

I think Temple is going to play in the Spurs summer league again next month.

I like the 7 spot version of around the world better than the 9 or 5 spot.

Did your friend have to call "chance" to complete his dominance of you in the game, or did he feel comfortable in you missing enough?

I'd also like an update on how you fared against him in a game of Hard 21.

i know around the world is what it is but 70/71 is good no matter what youre doing especially from 18 footers and 3 pointers

oh lowaggie, youre killing me with your facetious interest in our friendly skirmishes!!

The humor in me asking a simple question and basing his skill level on something that i can relate to because im not a huge basketball playing is astounding!

i read "contract" here as a verb, in the similar manner it would be used if you said "the israelis tried to contract HIV"

Heyyyy!!! You're a Lobo not a Po Boy, Yankees!!!!

If he's even a marginal NBA-level talent, scouts probably already know who he is.

A competent agent should be able to get him into some tryouts/workouts so teams can give him a look. That could possibly lead to getting onboard with a D-league team, which would get him experience against similarly skilled competition.

He should know more than us. He runs in those circles.

Find out where some of the NBA guys are playing and show up. They will let you play.

There is a group of them down in Houston at Kincaid, one that plays at tu most summers.

They can probably tell you more than we can.

Not really. I play with a guy that got a 10 day contract with the Mavs back in 99. It took him something like 7 years to get a tryout... they liked him at the tryout and signed him.

It takes some luck... even if you are good.

There are about 10,000+ guys that could play in the NBA (size and skill, age) but only 500 do.... and the 9,500 are competing for the bottom 3-4 spots on the roster (100 spots).
