Who is your favorite player not wearing a Houston Rockets uniform? Its probably a tough choice if you don't have time or the ability to watch games not in your area, but I have to say Kevin Durant. Kid is only 20 years old and putting up consistent, All-Star type numbers. I know he's not playing on a good team, but shouldn't that mean a professional basketball team should be able to focus on him? I just love watching him play.
its gotta be lebron or josh smith.. if either of those 2 can get a consistent jumper especially josh smith they could easily be the best 2 all around players in the league
I know its not considered "consistent" yet, but did anyone get a chance to watch the Cavs/Blazers game last night? Lebron's jumpshot was an absolutely beautiful thing to watch. Dude is motivated to be the absolute best play this league has ever seen, outside of the bigs who dominated the 60's and 70's.
Dwight Howard. Big, strong, and an awesome personality to boot. Easily my favorite non Rocket. Other favorites: Tim Duncan - might be my favorite but he plays for the Spurs, so he gets dropped down. Also because he's a b**** who refused to accept the Center position D-Wade - heck of a basketball player and fun to watch. Also a pretty likable guy, gets on my list for destroying the Mavs' only shot at a championship. Kobe - He's the most dominating wing outside of Lebron currently playing - but I don't really enjoy Lebron's game as much as Kobe's. Chris Paul - Don't like him personally at all, think he is a punk - but amazing things happen when he has the ball. I get mesmerized when I watch him play.
My Favorites: Antawn Jamison: Great personality and is a very under-rated player! His jumper is smooth for a big man, especially his runners/floaters. He can hit a runner 15 foot out, while our starting point guard can't hit a floater from 2 feet out... Dwight Howard: Great personality like Jamison, and is just a beast. He leads the NBA in dunks... and it's 15 dunks away higher than 2nd place! Chris Paul: He might be a punk against Rafer... but from other interviews and stories I read, he sounds pretty cool... Watching him play... is just simply amazing. Michael Redd: Great personality (suprise suprise...) and his shooting is just money. Richard Jefferson: An all around type of player. You might consider him a glue guy like Battier... but more like "super" glue. Wade: His scoring ability is just so good...
Brandon Roy, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Dwight Howard, KD, Derrick Rose. If Gilbert ever gets healthy again I'll add him back to my list.
Wow, I'm surprised to see Arenas on your list. He's one of the players I hate most in the league. I hate his game and his attitude. He redefines the word "selfish". I know he had to work hard to get where he is but so have a lot of players. I call him Agent Me-ro. CP3 and Durant are my favorite non-Rockets.
Ha, I started this thread after I read your SIG about Paul. I can't stand the pr*** Glad someone else appreciates Roy though.
I am the true definition of a ROF, which means if you ain't no Rocket, then I ain't no time for ya pardna. (No idea where the cowboy thing came from )
