Title: (VIDEO) Devin Harris gets hustled by London streetballer
Post by: Elano on October 14, 2008, 12:22:30 PM
Via TrueHoop, comes this humbling clip of Nets point guard Devin Harris playing a quick game of one-on-one against some random English chap in jeans and a v-neck sweater. The outcome is surprising, to say the least.

Actually a more professional guy shouldn't have played a street game against this dude, cause you can't risk your career like that. If you get injured playing streetball you're fucked, cause you get suspended by your team, you gotta have a surgery, you loose your spot in the team, you give other teammates an opportunity to shine and to play well replacing you, you loose money from sponsors, your coach and the staff of your team loose the respect for you, etc.. And this game was even televised, fucking moron! Let's say the guy got him cause he wasn't even trying to play hard, trying to stay injury-free and shit. But still.. if you can't play, don't play. Or you get shitted on.

P.S. I'm a fan of Devin Harris, but he looked like a complete idiot in this video.

LOL, how did he look like a complete idiot?  You think everyone in the NBA doesn't play street ball in their spare time or do other activities?  Alot of NBA players play at the Rucker for that summer league.  I think you're taking it a little too far.

Yeah, i over-reacted. I mean it was an official NBA tour, and the club gave him permission to play there. My bad.

The fact is that every summer a lot of players gets injured by doing dumb things or by playing those kind of un-authorized games. I still remember Radmanovic who got injured playing snowboard, or Jay Williams who almost got killed in a motorcicly accident, or Jason Collins who will miss a pair of months after he had an accident with a golf car (the one they use in golf clubs.. LOL), or Smith from Philadelphia who will likely miss the entire season after he got injured in one of those streetball games. And the list is very long (lol, i forgot to mention Monta Ellis getting into a mo-ped accident ;D).

It's not a joke. But in this case Harris had the authorization, so it's all good.

This is not some random English dude. He's a street ball legend and he got game... still lol@thinking Harris was even trying. He's one of the fastest guys in the NBA and he settled for a very weak jump shot from the spot instead of running a bit, etc

That's what i said. But it was an NBA Tour or something like that. Authorized by the League and shit. And Devin didn't even try to risk his ankles. That's why i said he looked like an idiot.

Ever heard of swagger playing? I don't mind just chilling on the court n shit. It should be pretty refreshing for a professional point guard player, who always has to bring his A-Game
