Ex-Miami Heat champion Earl Barron was caught recently schooling some ordinary players in rec ball
He averaged 4.6 points and 3.5 rebounds for his career, the highlight being a member of the Heat's championship team in 2006. He earned a ring while playing alongside Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal.
A 7-footer, Barron twice averaged 11 points in separate stints with the New York Knicks. They were hardly All-NBA seasons but he recently proved just how special it is just to play at that level. Barron was caught on video playing against rec players in St. Louis. The clip, posted by Instagram userThere is a reason they call it the NBA. It's reserved for the elite only.

It was reminiscent of NBA journeyman Brian Scalabrine, who was often ridiculed by fans because they thought he was a trash player.
After the Heat, Barron bounced around the league. He played in 140 games in eight seasons, which is pretty impressive when considering how tough it is just to make it to the NBA.PublishedShandel has covered the NBA since 2010, with previous stops at The Athletic and South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
