Get A Load Of This Student Shaking Another Student Out Of His Shoes In A Game Of Classroom Hoops5/12/2016 All this video taught me is that the white student has never, EVER played in a game of pickup hoops. I suppose it's not surprising given his lack of athletic prowess, but it's pretty clear that not once has he been put in a position to guard someone better than him one-on-one. Unless you actually play basketball in meaningful games, the first time you get flat out embarrassed should be the last. If there is anything I have learned during my time on this Earth it's that when the stakes of the game are low, the risk is far higher than the reward of playing tight man-to-man defense. Unfortunately this guy learned the hard way by getting shaken out of his loafers in front of his peers instead of being able to blame the slippery floor at the local YMCA, but he had to learn regardless. You can bet your ass the next time he'll gladly play some James Harden defense and give up the wide open midrange jumper instead of trying to channel his inner Kawhi Leonard and getting treated like Andrea Bargnani. You have to know your strengths, and when you're the dorky white kid with the yellow shirt/khakis combo playing in whatever pair of dress shoes were on sale at Aldo last week your strength in undoubtedly not staying in the hip pocket of the black kid with the wicked step back. That's how you end getting smoked right out of your formal footwear.
