The A-Level is upon us

[Ken Fresno]

Royce White was the 16th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft. Was drafted low, and eventually considered a "bust" because of extreme anxiety that didn't allow him to travel by plane. So get on the train while there's room.

“It’s humorous to say this, but it’s a very real thing: We’re in the participation medal era. I said on Twitter the other day that I’m grateful that I grew up in an era where we threw away all our second-place trophies and medals. Kobe was of that same cloth and I was shaped by that, the way he approached it. There is no second place.”



Royce White

6'8"
260 pounds

Skip to 48 seconds for him throwing the medicine ball through the wall.







Will this be the man to dethrone Greg Hardy?

I see stiffness and his name is Royce so not Sherdog standards

 

[faustian]

Lol @ Royce White. That's a name I haven't heard in a minute

[AlanGregson]

Holy shit, he punched a hole through...drywall. He beats the low tier hw bums but gets fucked up by anyone in the top 8

 

[DougieJones]

Royce White!!?!? Wooooow I totally forgot about that dude! I still remember him at Iowa St. eliminating UConn during the tournament before he left for the draft.

Yeah he's probably what I would call A-level

Then ur obviously not the basketball aficionado the other gumps let you pretend to be in The Sports Bar.

He was the #1 overall pick in The Big 3 last year.

 

[PlayswellwithLawnDarts]

He’s no Kobe

 

[faustian]

The Big 3

Probably. He is almost 30 and never trained before

 

[DOMMA]

He’s no Kobe

 

[Ken Fresno]

You would look down on real ball.

I'm not surprised.

 

[613]

He’s no Kobe

Yeah i would bet a guy who only played 3 min in the NBA is not as good as a guy who is top 15 ever

 

[Ladder Master]

If only there was a way to take A-level athletes, and match them up with other
top level athletes, to form a high quality PPV with 5 meaningful matches.

 

[faustian]

You would look down on real ball.

I'm not surprised.

Ok bud

Please argue that the average UFC HW is a better athlete than the average guy in The Big 3. I haven't seen you look stupid in a while.

 

[Verace]

He actually looks decent throwing strikes and has the body type that could be a problem if he knows how to use it.

Interesting, but is he coming to MMA or what?

What? Big 3 obviously has far superior athletes. Ffs high school basketball players >>>> UFC fighters on the athleticism scale

Edited for evidence:

Luke Walton was a bum and he's retired. Not even good enough to compete in Big3. Still B-level athlete according to the official chart

Jones is an A-level athlete. His brothers are in the NFL.

Well this thread is about a 28 year old guy who played point guard in college at 6'8 265, dominated The Big 3 combine last year, and has set his sights on the UFC Heavyweight title.

So I don't think shitting on The Big 3 serves any purpose in this context. But do you.
