There's something wrong with this fantasy.
For one thing, you didn't name the tune.

The tune is obvious - it's "My Shot" from Hamilton. "I am not throwing away my shot
I am not throwing away my shot
Hey yo, I’m just like my country
I’m young, scrappy and hungry."

*****oski just got out of rehab & still has black out days, the dumb azz has been in berkeley for decades & still hasn't graduated, he don't got academic ambition & nobody has ever thought he's mentally limitless that's for sure

let's be real here, oski got a **** gpa & is a total **** up, no way he should have ever cleared cal admissions

to be honest with you, cal's mascot should be modernized to reflect the university's core values & the mascot changed to the curvy brunette yoga females (with flat stomachs)

sorry oski

troy, is coach nic the right s&c coach for you to get your body ready for the nba wars?

Shocky1;842735346 said:

coach nic works with his guys hands on every step of the way to get their bodies right, he's got a proven track record of preparing relentlessly hard working/mentally tough young men for the nba

2014 nba draft: jordan mcrae 6'6" 185 lbs 2nd round philadelphia 76ers (currently with the world champion cleveland cavaliers)
2014 nba draft: jarnell stokes 6'9" 263 lbs 2nd round memphis grizzlies (currently with the denver nuggets)
2015 nba draft: josh richardson 6'6" 197 lbs 2nd round miami heat
2016 nba draft: tyrone wallace 6'6" 205 lbs 2nd round utah jazz
2016 nba draft: jaylen brown 6'7" 225 lbs 1st round (#3 overall pick) boston celtics

all 5 of these guys are currently getting paid in the brutally competitive nba that quickly exposes those that don't got the physical strength/stamina to play in the league

ivan rabb will be a lottery pick in the 2017 nba draft & jabari bird is projected to be drafted in 2017 if he can prove to nba scouts that he got a full time bad azz non stop motor...and marcus lee is getting his body right for the 2018 draft, he's gonna be a 1st round draft choice with a guaranteed contract if he can build up to 235-238 lbs, knock down free throws & develop his post interior moves

did you know that you're gonna spend more time with your college team's s&c coach than your head coach?...is coach nic the kinda guy that can get you to the next level?



get paid (and educated)#

let's be real here, if you ask them curvy brunette yoga females what's the least attractive (and usually a deal breaker unless you own islands & **** like that) feature on a dude they will tell you it's a jiggly, sloppy belly...flat stomaches on both males & females are essential to the survival of the species

if you listen to coach nic & do all his required core work & not be a secret eater (and yeah, i'm talking about you mr popcorn with butter man) your gonna be ok with the girl of your dreams...but if your gonna be a lazy dumb azz that chows down them maple glazed heart attack grenade donuts with fuchsia sprinkles that's not gonna happen

the choice is yours, are you gonna be like the donut boy of tuscon or what?

more importantly, what's the name of your curvy brunette yoga female friend?

[SIZE=5]Cal and the Pac 12 looks strong again this year
It's gonna be a dogfight[/SIZE]

the bears scrimmage sunday morning vs the #19 ranked gaels was critical to preparing for the challenging home opener...while stats were not kept, cal played relentless physical man on man d vs st marys which resulted in the harassed gaels shooting 3 pointers at a much less accurate rate than the team's remarkable 40.6% clip last season...our program needed an elite challenge before the 1st game as the california baptist exhibition on thursday november 3rd at 7:00 pm at haas pavilion will provide less preparation than tangling with a nationally ranked opponent

the success or failure to play lockdown d will dictate the future of this season's destiny, right now things are heading in the right direction in large part due to the senior maturity/leadership on the team

the opener vs south dakota state is gonna be the most dangerous opponent cal plays all year, this is the quintessential trap game...uniformed dumb azzs have criticized the bears schedule not realizing that the jackrabbits were 26-8 last season including victories over tcu, minnesota & santa barbara with a narrow 79-74 loss to maryland in the 1st round of the ncca tournament...south dakota goes 10 deep in playing minutes & returns all 10 guys this season

if the bears come out mentally & physically unprepared for the season opener on friday nite november 11th at 7:00 pm at haas pavilion we're gonna be ******

are you gonna support your california golden bears, are you all in, what's your dream, do you got season tix(s)?

let's do this, nobody ever said this was gonna be easy

the magic of cal basketball (needs you at the barricade ready to fight)#

I totally agree on your assessment of South Dakota..the jackrabbits have had a damn good mid-major program for a number of years and this year they have their best player back...Mike Daum was a freshman last year and didn't start a single game but he led the team in pts and rbs....this should be a good test for the Bears...

I agree Shocky. South Dakota State is going to be a tough test particularly early in the season.

a ups killer whale just delivered my season tixs & parking pass for schlessinger way so i can park next to coach martin in order to give him my gameday opponent scouting reports & recommended schematic diagrammed plays (like pass the ******* ball to young ivee via entry/lob passes) for exploitation based upon specific match ups

"marcus lee is an exceptional player...he's actually transitioned seamlessly like grant and he's a great player like i said...very athletic, a better passer than people know and he's working to expand his game...i'm following his lead and he's following mine, so we're just trying to push everybody to get better...i just mentioned a lot of his traits but i mean he just takes up a ton of space and tries to make things difficult for me and also guards trying to come to the basket...everybody has to be alert when he's back there especially on defense...i've been playing him since high school so i already knew what he brought to the table...i was kinda disappointed he couldn't play this year but any team with marcus lee on it going to get a lot better so when he is able to play he's going to do great for us and right now going against him every day in practice is getting us all better...he's an important piece of the puzzle"

marcus, did you know that elvis had mental issues at the end of his life?...the king wore a lot of crazy mixed up outfits like a ****** up haight ashbury hippie, is that your deal?


but it's not your fault, you got that crazy azz curvy brunette yoga female from kentucky following you everywhere but no worries just tell ashley she can sit by me on the floor while she's serving you looks, life is sometimes complicated

marcus, you can always change your digits

-jabari bird, mama's boy (like the shockster) & potential 2017 nba draft choice pick if he can prove to scouts he's got a non stop bad azz motor

Shocky1;842685551 said:

we visited with jabari for a while at the banquet but we spent more time with his moms tonya who taylor describes as "so cute and fun to talk to"

tonya told us that jabari's girlfriend (they started dating in high school) is kelli hayes on the ucla basketball team & she told us that she's flat out admonished both of them that she's "not ready to become a grandmother"


she also puts her foot down with her son's requests for her to deliver 10:00 pm meals to berkeley from the family home in richmond (dad carl was co team mvp of the 1975 california golden bears) & when jabari has mentioned maybe leaving school early for the nba she's told him she doesn't know who's putting these bad ideas in her son's head but that he's gonna earn a degree from the #1 ranked public university in the world before he makes a run at professional basketball

jabari speaks with a sparkly enthusiasm & a brilliant smile, he is a happy person who knows he is loved by a lot of people...but for him to achieve his potential next season he's gotta play with more of a bad azz attitude, to attack the basket relentlessly & further develop his mid range game, his 3 point shooting is already a thing of beauty...a major factor in cal's abysmal free throw shooting this season was that the wrong guys were taking the majority of the free throws, both jabari & jordan need to play more aggressively, get fouled & then knock down 80% of the free throws...bird's defensive improvement in his energized fighting thru screens & defending in a sqat position is 1000% better than his sorry azz standing up posture as a freshman for coach montgomery which resulted in him getting benched (after losing his defensive assignment again) & teary eyed on the road at santa barbara...i heard coach tell him he couldn't put him back in the game until he learns how to play d, that's a lesson the bird has taken to heart, i could see it in his hungry eyes last season

coach christopher told me that jabari's dedication & work in transforming his body has been remarkable...but that don't mean nicodemus isn't gonna bust bird eating potato chips at the house every now & then

let's do this, bird man, the time is now

Shocky1;842683591 said:

young ivee told me at the banquet that he thinks he will be more comfortable vocally demanding the ball next season, that it doesn't happen just naturally for him due to his personality...he did make some progress in this area during the final 10 games

coach christopher told me at that rabb currently weighs 219 lbs & that he will ideally play at 228-230 lbs next season

ivan's goal should be to be selected as the #1 player in the 2017 nba draft, he's got that potential if he can average 15+ shots a game next season in exploiting other teams

if the california golden bears aren't physically & mentally prepared to play vs the jackrabbits in the opening game at 7:00 pm on friday november 11th this is gonna have a very sad ******* ending

south dakota state played maryland tougher than cal played hawaii in last season's 1st round ncca tournament games, the jackrabbits will not be intimidated by the bears & will bring a chip on their shoulders when they visit berkeley...this is the quintessential dangerous trap game

relentless preparation is the key
