It could work for only one game when we had the element of surprise on our side. I'm sure they would have beaten us in a second game. Like asymmetric warfare, it works only while a better-resourced conventional army hasn't figured out what the real game is.
I know from winning first 1 on 1 games against much bigger guys (6'2" to 6'8" vs my 5'9"), but never the next. Once they figure out that I'm not going to the basket and just pulling up and shooting while jumping backwards, I can't beat superior height, strength--and now youth.
