Not to hijack the thread, but my old pal Ralph performed like this at a court in San Bernardino CA years ago. He just went up to a busy blacktop ball court in the hood that he’d heard had serious competition and decided to get into a pickup game as the only white guy there. He got treated okay.
Ralph’s tall, so they figured he wouldn’t be there if he couldn’t play some kinda ball, but he got chosen last for a full set pickup game with a dismissive “Alright, we’ll take HIM... Pfft” and Ralph turned on a 40+ point game on them. They were more than a little stunned. Just totally jammed on them, swatted their shots away, stole the ball, faked them out. Clowned the shit out of them. .
Our high school Varsity team he played on as one of the two whites on the team were second place CIF championship league every year back then. At 18, he was built like Vlade Divac. We could beat every other high school basketball team in the whole state with the exception of reigning champs Crenshaw High in Los Angeles that has sent players to the NBA —and often the Lakers. We even beat Dorsey.
When they asked where he played ball and he told them the name of our high school, oh yeah now they understood. They invited him back, but he just went that one time.
Let me tell you about my pool hustlin’ days...
