Brian Scalabrine Would Destroy You In A One-On-One Game – INTERVIEW
In Brian Scalabrine’s segment on Yahoo! Sports, ‘White Mamba Minute’, the Goat talks about how badly he, or any NBA reserve, would beat you at the YMCA.
He first spoke about how everyone wants to play him one-on-one:
“I always find it funny that guys want to play me one-on-one. They think that they could beat me one-on-one, because they feel when they watch the games, ‘oh, I can do what Scalabrine does. He does nothing but stand in the corner and shoot threes.’ And they watch me, and yes, I look slow out there. Next to the greatest athletes in the world, of course I look slow.”
He continued talking about how badly he’d dominate YMCA games:
“Right now, is there any YMCA game that I couldn’t dominate? Absolutely not! I would absolutely dominate every place I go. Just sheer size alone. And that’s not including passing, shooting, skill level. It’s just from being 6’9”, 250. “
When Scalabrine first retired, he trained like a maniac for his rec league games:
“When I first retired, Igot a little down. I was missing the game. I was on a mission. I was working out for my rec league games. And I would have 50, 60 points some nights. It was almost like I was paying back at everyone that ever anything bad to me. But eventually, you get older and you realize, ‘this is ridiculous. Why don’t you just move on with your life?” So, I have now officially moved on with my life.
