Rafer Alston: Slapping Eddie House was the Dumbest Thing I Ever Did (Part 9)

Many tried and many failed. I wasn't even going to go out there but my lil brother just pushed me. So, I knocked the ball away from him the first time but I didn't chase it down before it went in the crowd so he said it didn't count and he could have gotten the ball back if people weren't in the way. I called bullshit. I was about to walk away but he said if I could do it again, he would give me $100 and the ticket. So, he starts his dribbling but this time he's doing the thing were he hits you with the ball while he's dribbling. I told him if he hits me with the ball again, we gone fucking fight. That kinda caught him off guard and when he reacted I stole the ball. He then accused me of cheating or some shit like that. I started acting an ass about my money (fuck the ticket).

If Eddie would have said something disrespectful to him to deserve that reaction, he wouldn't have called it a Bush League move after but because Rafer was just mad because he was draining shots over him all night, the Bush League comment made complete sense. The comment has nothing to do with And1 Streetball days because Rafer wasn't known as a goon on the court who slapped people back then so the attempted correlation by Vlad is just idiotic lol

Most underrated Point Guard of all time. Rafer is one of a kind. Can't duplicate his mythological abilities. If Stan Van Gundy would have brought Jameer off the bench, they would have had a chance to win that series. Skip was playing like the best PG in the world and Coach didn't take advantage of the momentum they worked so hard to build up with Jameer injured on the sidelines for a month and a half

[@Moonchild31014]

Jameer was a solid ball handler and distributor, but couldn't quite get it done in the clutch. Rafer at times overdid the showmanship and tended to cause needless turnovers.

Skip’s story of accidentally slapping Eddie reminds me of a time in high school, playing 3v3 lunch time basketball. In one instance, me and my opponent (a senior student who was quite bigger than me at the time) jumped for the rebound at the same time. He was known to have a very strong grip and managed to get the rebound over me. Anyway, because of his strong grip, I wound my arm back to try to spike the ball out of his hand as hard as I could after we both landed, and just as I was swinging my hand forward for the spike he decided to curl his head over the ball to protect it, and I ended up spiking his head instead 😖 Needless to say, I immediately exited the court and stayed away from it for the next week or so 😅
