    Who would it be? (As in playing style)

    I know we're probably not 7' or even 6', but everytime I play basketball with friends I can compare their playing style to someone. I have been told I have played like Gugliotta, Croshere, and Brand. LOL. I don't know how to explain that. I guess I am a post player (well at least against people my size).

    I don't have good handles so point guard is out of the question. I have a friend that plays like Malone (always throws elbows) and one that plays like Shaq (can't make any free throws, but posts up all the time).

    There's this one guy that came around my street talking smack. He thought he was Jordan, so I blocked the hell out of him.

    So how would you compare your game to?

    oooo... I'd have to say Hakeem, honestly.


    I can reject shots like an SOB and score a nice bit too. I'm also more of a finesse player, like Hakeem, than a rugged bruiser like Shaq or Zo.

    You guys can all call me mini-Dream from now on. [​IMG]

    Gary payton, i play the 1 and 2 spots, defend the 1, 2, or 4 spots. im a little bit bigger than most point guards my age (5'6). i shoot the 3, drive, post up, and i always guard the best guard on the other team sometimes forwards.

    Now you just need to work on your trash talking and talking in the third person when describing yourself and you will be the complete package.

    Kobe or Shandon Anderson. I can drive to the lane, crossover, and I can play some damn good defense.

    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Pig Miller : In that I spend most of the time sitting down. But I do rebound well. Thats about it.

    Glen Rice, undoubtedly. I'm not a great defender, and not a ton of athletic ability. But I am a great shooter, and overall a very good scorer in general. Glen Rice is definitely the guy my game is like.

    Earl "The Goat" Manigault.

    Very playground. Had unlimited potential, but just did not make it to the NBA because of personal tragedy.

    Just like Goat, if I had had better luck, I would have been the greatest ever.

    Second comparison would be Sam Cassell.
    Very wild, sometimes out of control, but effective. Every now and then, hit the outside shot.

    wow comparing yourself to the goat, you must be cocky too. [​IMG]

    i wish i was the goat, just to be a legend.

    anyways i was always known as MT. Mutumbo. im not huge, but i like to muscle people around, play a little dirty, and block like a master. well i also talk alot of **** after the block. too bad i wasnt a 7 footer.
    (or a good player) all i can really do is block and rebound. with nearly evry point coming off the 3rd offensive board. kinda sad huh.

    Something like Sean Elliot. I don't do anything great, but I can shoot, dribble, defend, etc. decently.

    I actually think that if Elliot was coached right in his prime, he would have been better than Pip in his prime.

    I'm a SF who likes to drive and post up but can hit the midrange/outside jumper.

    That's what I think although people on occasion call be Barkley and Big Country.

    I was told many times that my game resembled John Havlicek's

    I've been compared to Jason Williams and Damon Stoudamire.
