I love you too B! We miss you here etc...

oh shit, this is nice wank material right here.

I need to keep checking this place daily again. I don't know why I always forget. I love you people. Especially Leroy etc

You forget to check? early dementia imo and/or possible relationship. Same thing imo

FFS ante post videos when you make them, I had no idea lol. I only come here thru an iphone

Epic foot speed there DC jr. Upload your next/future chucking games. Just don't be like Steph, if you're 0/10, just stop shooting lol

Will do...

We lost, refs screwed us, we were up all game. Then our leading scorer got ejected.

I had 31 pts on 19 fga, 50+% shooting, 100% ft, 8 assists, 8 rebs..

31/8/8 in a loss?

That's not even on you lol

I know its not, I was mad at my teammates...

I have the game all recorded, you'll see..

Don't forget to include the ejection

All I want to see is Ante screaming at his shitty teammates after quadruple double in a loss, that and Ante getting ejected for mouthing off at refs

Last game, all the breaks were cut, so no ejection in the last 44 seconds SMH when we were down by 6...

New workout video...



Merry Xmas etc.

Just saw these, great game. @ no ejection footage

@ you not being visibly mad

sweet SINGLE calf sleeve tho. Time to go full out douche and rock a shooting sleeve. Beast imo

What level competition were other team? I noticed that full court press early on. Trying that hard from the get go ftw

Who's the dude commentating in the background? We need more of that imo

That's the fella who's in the workout videos with me...lol...BTW a three wasn't recorded, well he was late, you can just see ref around 3:50 pointing with his hands that it's a three lol...

I was mad when I saw that there was no ejection footage...I mean, I understand, battery problems with filming in FULL HD, but who giz a shit about the last 44, record the ejection...

Yeah it's time to rock a shooting sleeve, full douche mode next game after this 2 and half xmas/new year week break...

They were A-2, we had to try hard because 2 of our first team players were out with the flu, so we basically had an 8 man rotation and 4 young guns (17 yr olds)...So 10 players, 8 playing and switching the full court press, I logged 38 mins...#9 and #13 are 17 yr olds, very talented and hard working fellas...They're great for their age...

I'm glad you liked it, next game vs KK Dubrovnik I'm goin HAM too, no more 10-12 FGA games, 15-20 or gtfo...

     

Manually recording is a pain in the ass. I'm surprised the league doesn't just do it themselves & uploads it somewhere for everyone to use etc... Even my community/junior college has recorded footage.. And they can barely afford uniforms

8 man rotation isn't bad, suck it up etc.. If you get drafted to the bulls, you'd be forced to run a 4 man rotation. Get used to it


If your main teammates are injured/out, I say go full out Kobe/curry and win the game alone. 20 FGA? Fuck that, 30 pts wasn't enough last time, go for 40.

Focus on passing when playing vs A-1 competition imo. That's prob what they wanna see anyways

I'll go for 40 next time...

Those two are rotational players so I can rest and our best big could rest a little...

Will do coach Leroy!

How's the new year going brah

Game on Saturday...

Me and my buddy made a program for building brute strength, with lifting heavy  (legs, chest, arms, back), longer breaks and only 2-4 series with only 5-6 reps, 9-10 training days, we done no.7 yesterday...3 times a week, good rest, in between time I'm working on my jumper, dribbling etc and high intensity running on weekends with basketball practice mixed in...

The only thing I need is that pure dumb bulk mass, it's the only thing I can improve on my athletic performance...

And, the results are astonishing, I'm literally man handling big guys on drives, I'm doing Kyle Lowry like drives, before I was trying to get contact, but now I'm trying to get and 1's every fuckin time, I can play defense for hours, I've never been this type of beast, I was a bulldog before, now I've become a freaking monster...I'm killing people similar to Kyle Lowry, I'm now 177 lbs, with 5.1 % body mass...

http://basketball.eurobasket.com/player/Ante_Markoc/Croatia/KK_Adriatic_Split/275510

I love how they say, draft eligible...I'm signing up for the draft in 2017, that's my plan...

What's goin on with ya? School?

You working out?

That's awesome. I'm also going for a Kyle Lowry build. But keep in mind kyle is probably like 215 lbs lol. And he's got some legit body fat on him too. If you get anywhere near 190/200, you'll be handling top tier competition like that

I must've gained like 20 lbs thanks to school, but now that I'm on break I'm working it off. Currently play pickup ball vs LA try hards about 4-5 days a week. Been working on everything and etc, I feel like my skillset is good enough to at least start for a shitty college. It's just up to the physical part now

My vertical is pretty solid even with weight gain lol. Almost touching rim despite being fat

Also taught myself how to shoot left handed (natural). It looks gorgeous and it's automatic, but I don't have a range outside of 16 feet. Everything airballs past that point

Sweet lying profile btw, 6'2 lol draft in 2 years?

I'm impressed, I was hoping that you would work on your game like that...Keep up! Left handed, yeah I could shoot em within 16 feet, not sure with what percentage, prolly around 45-50% not guarded...

My goal yes, 2 yrs...

I never felt a difference between taken guarded and unguarded shots. I'm 50% all around imo

But then again I'm playing unorganized try hards, so idk

Idk what to do about the lack of range though. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't improved in that category at all. I need results fast dammit

How are you gonna get that exposure you need for the draft within 2 years? Are you getting a good amount of exposure now? Remember, it's not about how good you are, it's about who you know & who knows you :austinrivers:

My coach is pretty well known in the region, he was a Euroleague champion...He knows a lot of agents, nba agent Kosta Jankov is coming to our facility in 2-3 months...

So I'm pretty big on that...I just gotta worry about myself and all of those things will come! ...

Jump more on your jumper, shoot a lot of threes...

Ex. have drills where you have 7 positions and you have to make 2/3/4/5 in a row to advance to the next position etc...Shoot your jumper the same every time!

I can't shoot jumper the exact same way every time lmao. It's a lot more consistent now that's it lefty but there's still minor differences. Do I keep shooting 3s if they airball by 3 ft everytime?

At least I can dribble and score inside  

Oh so you actually have connections? That's awesome. That's probably the biggest obstacle for you and it's already solved lol.

Imo the biggest obstacle you got now is the physical part. You got the skillset, but keep working on athleticism and strength, since that's all that matters to people now anyways lol. You could be trash but that 45 inch vertical = automatic NBA spot

I'm sure the NBA scouts will love your skillset, but especially at your height, body strength is gonna be most important part.

Be in LA on draft night btw. Screw family and friends on the day you get drafted imo, that can wait. It'll be party time for that night

3 ft? Damn...Is that the college three? If it is, you gotta a serious problem that you should address...Could you describe me your form? Do you jump a lot etc...

I know you got dat Andre Miller swag with the inside!

Yeah, ppl love the damn jumping mofos, ffs, I mean in Europe it's not like that though, ppl want a guy with skill and brain over a dead jumper...Yeah everybody will love my skillset and my biggest thing is my speed and quickness, I have an above average vertical, but not enough to blow those fuckers away since I dunk very rarely ala CP3...

I don't care in 2 years if I get drafted or not on that night, I just need a chance, d league, nba, whatever, it's not that I'm a douche that thinks "oh such and such is easy, I can do it", I've put in the work, I'll put A LOT MORE work in 2 years and frankly so I'm a confident motherfucker who's living bball 24/7/365 and I've always overcome obstacles, first it was when I've become a pro: "he's only 17 he can't do it", then at 18 "he can't shoot threes consistently of the dribble and screens at his size", overcame it all then "can he dominate at a higher level?" I overcame that too mofo's...Soon when people realize that I want to be in the NBA in 2 years, it will be "He can't play there etc"...I'll overcome that too, know why? Because I'm a COMPETITIVE MOTHERFUCKER who'll do anything to be the best!

Totally agree about LA, I would have a time of my life drinking with you and your brahs   ...

Yea it's college 3. Shit I have trouble with high school 3 too lol. It's bad. Although 3 ft is exaggeration lol, probably 1 ft
I try to imitate Conley & Harden. The form looks good but the more I jump, the more I lose control of the ball. I'm thinking it's a grip issues with my hands. I've broken/fractured my left hand and fingers and wrist a lot lol. I'm gonna buy one of those grip strengther things to help out and see what happens

Also need to get arm strength up. My passes are accurate but they float forever

As long as you get your name out there with the draft and scouts, you'll get your d league chance. Although NBA is a business so politics and business savvy is needed to be successful. That's where I come in imo, I'm majoring in this crap

I don't think vertical is necessary really. Dunking is a really small part of the game. This is NBA we talking bout, if this was NCAA then all the flashy shit is necessary lol.

The most important thing they gonna look at is speed & strength. That's why I say get your weight up, even if it's just some fat lol. They want guys who won't get pushed around by the other bigger players, especially at your size. Also why Kyle Lowry should be a body goal for you

I keep up with try hards & Dleague/summer league, and your skillset is already better than like 99% of the Dleague. Body is gonna be an obstacle as to why someone wouldn't wanna risk a pick on you. They're excuses would be "he's too frail, can't hang with the big boys," etc. That's where you gotta bulk up and prove that wrong

Imo a good example of body being everything is cp3 & JJ barea. What's really the difference between those 2 outside of the mental game? Both can shoot, pass, score, flop, be fast etc.

But cp3 is about 20 lbs stronger and heavier than wimp JJ and can finish at the rim, take it to bigger players, DEFEND bigger players etc..

First of all, thank you very much on the advice and support, hopefully we meet in 2-2.5 years, I'm getting bigger every day, 177 lbs is a feat for me, I'm eating A LOT these days (healthy of course) and really bulking in the gym...I'm pushing bigger guys than myself, but I want to see myself against those type of players you've described since there's like 0.1% of the players in Europe like that lol...

IMO Barea is good mentally IMO, he was a big piece on that 2011 team...I agree with ya...So the skillset in USA is really getting worse each year huh?

You need some gym work, try this shit:



Of course you lose control when you jump more, that's the struggle you'll go through, you need to shoot at least 200 jumpshots a day to become at least decent in 6 months from the colleget three...You don't need a grip strengthner, you have a bar near you to do pull ups? Hold the bar tight every pull up and kill it, your gripe and wrist strength will be much better believe me...

Do some long two jumpers, like make 50 of them before going to your actual three point jumpers and then try do a hop or a 1-2 or just mix it up before every shot, like this:



Just without the stepback...
