You said that any mob squad composed of 'street punks' would have the advantage over any NBA team as long as the ref's calls went their way, and the discussion migrated to the skills of a particularly good street hoopster vs. the average NBA player.
Believe it or don't, but any street ball team you could make would get smoked by even a below-average NBA team.
*TEAM* is the operative word here, Biker.
ex-con, and NO, we're not talking about penal league ball. ;)
There's no doubt in my mind that if you looked for one you could find five guys that play together all the time that could take the starting five of an NBA team if they had the refs calling it their way.
Believe me, if you haven't seen the Cavs play then I can't possibly make you understand.
