I have always been a fan of AND1 basketball, I love the way they dribble the ball. I've tried to incorporate a lot of streetball moves into my game to make me a better handler. But for AND1, they aren't really doing anything new, so it isn't as great as it used to be. I still love to watch it, just not as much as in the past.
Alston, the god of street basketball, is only a decent pg in NBA, which shows the differensial of amuter and professional basketball.

True' I think that you right my man 
And 1 basketball may be entertaining to watch (and yes I've watched it before) but it is NOT real basketball. Anyone that thinks they are actually playing defense in these games probably also thinks professional wrestling is real. I saw one clip where a guy with the ball CRAWLED BETWEEN THE LEGS OF A DEFENDER then got up on the other side of him...kept dribbling and dunked. That is not going to happen if the defender didn't let it happen. That being said some of those guy have real dribbling talent as well as tons of athletic ability. But in real basketball you have to be able to do more than fancy dribble, pass and dunk. You have to be able to shoot when the defense closes down the lane from all those fancy dunks, and you have to be able to play defense and stop some of the best players in the world from scoring. Most of those And 1 guys seem to be more about entertaining the crowd and making THEMSELVES look good.....not traits a coach is going to be looking for when he is drafting or recruiting a player to try and win the next NCAA or NBA championship.

Thanks, I like Tinsley though, I'm a Pacers' fan.And 1 Basketball is way too different from today.. Theres a lot of streetball players and crews that put different style on the game new moves, new tricks and new dunks.. I dont have any news about And1 Mixtape do they continue to release some till now? I want to see the old And1 Mixtape team with Skip to my lou, 50 , Shane d Dribbler, Hot Sauce, Half Man Half Amazing , The Ambassador AO, Professor, the Future , and everyone who became part of the And1 mix tape volume 1-4 i want to watch them all again...
