@craig_henman What im trying to say is relax bro u talking like he ended my career or he was some bum he was number 1 overall for a reason don’t come on post about me talking like u could ever guard me like im a normal hooper at your rec league

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

@craig_henman I did guard Kai and again he 17 points on 12 shots so if the number 1 pick scored 17 on me thats taking my lunch i averaged 20 that season so i took everybody lunch huh. Him and Derrick rose are the two most talented guards I’ve ever guarded but let’s not act like 17 points is 30

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

@craig_henman Truth is he has 17 points an no matter how bad you wanna make it seem like it was a massacre Nolan had 17 as well that duke team was definitely full of nba talent and we were a young team but by all means look up what i did to guard like jimmer and u will see taking someone lunch

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

@mdwbasketball Smh as a professional basketball player this shit is ridiculous and teaching this to anybody should be a crime. No ref in fiba would allow u to do any of these moves with out blowing his whistle and i speak from experience not assumptions smh these are all travels

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

@Zheldak_basket Why it can’t be that maybe he just don’t wana play for a horrible coach who loses everywhere but continues to get opportunities for no reason at all. Example look how bad he was in Virtus Bologna lol

3. If you’re a young guard trying to play professionally don’t just work on scoring Work on

— Decision making
— Pick & roll reads
— Defense
— Shooting off movement
— Playing without the ball
— Finishing
— Leadership

Coaches can find scorers
They need players who help them WIN

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

2. 17 years of professional basketball taught me something:

Your reputation travels faster than you do.

Coaches talk.
Agents talk.
Players talk.

You can be talented enough to get another opportunity…

…but if people don’t trust you, those opportunities get harder to find.

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

@treymourning funny story and @coachFMartin can attest this when he first came to see me play it was Nike peach jam and i was a three star i came off the bench and first play i shot a airball after that i picked up full court got a steal for a layup then next play shot again cash he was sold

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

If you’re a young player, a parent of a player, or just love basketball…
I’m going to talk about the things most people don’t tell you until it’s too late, how players really get opportunities, why talented players get overlooked, what coaches actually notice, and what it takes

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

1. A lot of players think talent is what gets you overseas/college It helps.
But coaches want to know:
Can I trust you?
Can you defend?
Can you make the right play?
Can you handle adversity?
Can you help me win
Talent gets you looked at.Being reliable keeps you employed/playing

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

20 tweets for young pros or people inspiring to play pro basketball and this also goes for college and high school trying to become elite players. You not getting all 20 today lol

@Dash5Harris Nahhh i ain’t a podcast guy not saying i wouldn’t appear on others but wouldn’t do my own plus dudes just start saying anything for clicks

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

Some of these stories might change the way you see the game.

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

I’ve decided I’m going to start sharing more of what I’ve learned about basketball, the business, playing overseas, development, and what it really takes to make it. No bullshit. No selling dreams. Just real experience from somebody who’s actually lived it.

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

I’ve been playing professional basketball for 17 years.

NBA. Europe. Different countries. Different coaches. Different teams. Different situations.

I’ve learned A LOT along the way — some lessons the hard way. With that being said

[Jacob Pullen @Jpullz0]

@Riley_Gates I’m confused on how i handled it? I’m the same guy that’s played tbt almost every summer. How about yall ask the gm what happen before we just keep saying we upset with Pullen
