Thank you so much Jerome! I appreciate that! And yes, DeShawn was awesome!

The comparison is really impossible to do because each player put forth different levels of effort. For example, the very first person I played, Robert Brown, in his video he just cruised, played around and did enough to win. We’ve played since then and I’ve asked him to go all out and it is scary – almost impossible to even get open.

Obviously, DeShawn is my first NBA guy and someone who I knew a lot about from watching over the years. I’ve seen him D up Kobe, etc. so there is no doubt in my mind that he could have held me scoreless if that was his goal.

I was amazed at his basketball IQ. Literally in a few minutes of playing, as I stated in the post, he could tell me all about me when it came to my game. He was spot on too. He was able to pick up on little tendencies that I do before I – well I better not say, MJ may be reading haha! Seriously though, it was cool to see that even while playing around he is a student of the game.

It was an amazing experience!

He is without a doubt, a great guy!

If I can ask, how did you feel playing against him compared to playing some of the other people you’ve played against? You’ve played against/with some top college guys and a few pros, how did it compare?
