How To: Make it to the NBA with limited athleticism

Many of us consider ourselves athletes. Well, more like former athletes at this point, but I digress. For those of us who are enamored with the sport of basketball, we think of the NBA as an unreachable goal that only exists in our dreams. But is it really that hard to get to the NBA?

Consider this... the league is made up of a bunch of ridiculous athletes and very solid role players. What roles do those guys play? Usually it's something very simple. Take Bruce Bowen for example. He plays defense and shoots corner 3's. It's honestly all he does. Yet he's lasted. So my idea for those up and comers who may not be as blessed as our African American friends, find your niche. Perfect the corner 3. Master the hook shot. Hell, I don't understand why no one has just become money from half court. I really feel like that would open everything up for those said super athletes which could revolutionize basketball as we know it. That is as long as you can play lock down defense on a 6'10" guy with a 40" vertical who can rain jumpers from anywhere on the court.

Posture...

Some people make New Year's resolutions around the end of the year. Abe and Ahop do it a little different, like August.

One year we were sitting around and thought, "[Our generation] has terrible posture. We look like a bunch of idiots and hunch backs. Since so many people look up to us and think we are awesome, let's start a new trend." Or something like that...

So we went to work, standing up straight, sitting up straight, and telling other slackers to straighten up. We felt 3 inches bigger (no homo), more manly, and more distinguished. Did this idea last? Of course not. We are very lazy, but we wanted to share a very basic idea that some of you probably said, "Hey I did that once before too."

More complex, closer to genius ideas to come.

What We're About

Let's get philosophical... Ideas come and go throughout our lives, but many go unnoticed or just are not acted upon. Sometimes this is due to a lack of time and money, but usually it's just that you don't really care enough to follow through with them (the majority in our case). So that's how we came up with this idea. Why not create a place where people can post their ideas in harmony with ours and see if we can somehow better society.

We are two guys that have had plenty of those moments where we thought, "Dude... that's a good idea!" but they rarely panned out. So we will post all of the ideas that we can remember having and see if we can get responses on them. This is exactly what the internet was created for, right?

Please feel free to write, email, or comment and share those ideas that you have had that made you say, "That is such a good idea!" If it is good enough (and we have low standards) we will post it, obviously giving you credit. We are not into stealing your credit for ingenious ideas.
