What a cool day to be a middle-aged white guy playing pickup hoops at the IMA

James did NOT want his players playing hoops in the offseason.NeGgaPlEaSe said:

Awesome, but why the fuck is he playing basketball?

Talking with him he said that he was 100% and now just looking to get his legs back under him, built up, and strong.
I would be very surprised if he wasn't a full go for Spring. -

Pretty much this ... he'll jump around a bit (which my buddy and I got on him about for being stupid in doing this and he was like nah I'm under control when I do it) and will try to play some aggressive defense if he thinks he can take the ball away ... but he shoots a ton of long jumpers (not a great shooter to begin with) and it's pretty clear that basketball isn't his day job.Gladstone said:
nah he doesn't slash or anything, just gets a run in and jacks up 3s and plays lazy d.Passion said:

That being said, he's very talkative and definitely not an idiot ... most of the guys that I've played with over the last almost 20 years at the IMA that have gotten hurt do so because they play like idiots and just run around without control. That's not Ross at all. -
Do you not feel a tab bit creepy as a 30-40 something hanging out at the IMA?Tequilla said:

He's 100%. He probably could have come back towards the end of last season.
One thing to watch for, he was 179 in 2014. He was up to 192 on the last roster. So he should have more strength and be able to break more tackles than a did early in his career. -
Wut? Would you prefer he never did anything so he didn't get hurt?Passion said:

I enjoy playing basketball and playing at the IMA is one of the best places to play in Seattle. -

Why do you hate Greenlake. But seriously, if you can get on base, there's some real games going on there.
