I seriously could get you to see the Spurs workout one time and if you got one look at how fast, Oh jeez. These guys are fantatastic athletes. Have you ever played pickup with any pro players? Lord these are the best all-around athletes in the world.
If you are that good they will find you, I promise.

Played against Nate Robinson and Jammal Crawford in HS games and in pick up games during the summer, played against Luke Ridnour at state in basketball, then meeting him in the spring during 1999 district playoffs for tennis which he beat me, in what seems comical I was placed as the #1 seed in districts. After our match we headed off to the gym to play ball, and proceeded to play 1 on 1, I beat him fair and square. Then in college when I made the team during open tryouts I played against a few people who ended up to go on to 4 yr colleges. When I finally arrived at the University of Washington I went to open tryouts but its painfully obvious that I wasnt fast enough. No one was even picked from that open tryouts to come back and officially work with the team. With football, I went to see Rick Neuheisel at the time to see if I could work with the team during spring practice. I went to one practice no pads, then i was asked by the line coach that I should quit my dream of playing athletics at a high level.
Thats my athletic career in a nutshell, only thing I have going in a way of a professional sport is the PBA for bowling. Im a great bowler, I can say that much. I just dont have the time to be a great golfer anymore and I accept that.
