Chris Duhon. One of the classiest guys around, and highly underrated. He probably was mentored by Battier and bears many similar qualities. He'll give anyone the time of day if they see him on the street, and even though he might not start there isn't a single NBA team out there that wouldn't benefit by having him on their roster. I guess I'm partial for him over Battier because he played at Duke during my time there.
That is funny. I love Gilbert Arenas because he is crazy! I also loved what he did to Phoenix when he didn't make the USA team. After every shot he was staring at Conalego and Dantoni(sp)?
Rox: Yao. Mr. Nice Guy, for better or worse. Dude's work ethic is incredible and his humble demeanor makes you want to root for him even more. NBA: Lebron. At 21 he's been given the world on a platter and he's handled it as well as any athlete could. Look at the headlines, far less talented people w/ far less money have managed to ruin their lives one way or another. And he's finally put Cleveland back on the map. No longer do I need to get drunk to enjoy a Cavs game.
Present favorite player steve francis because ever since he entered the league as a rocket he just caught my eye by his play and his passion on the court and how he is personality wise off the court. Even when he got traded from houston I was happy we got tmac but was sad to see stevie go glad to have him back tho.
all time fave player: hakeem the reason why i started watching basketball and supporting the rockets current rocket: yao at times he seems like he's the best player in the game and theres nothing anyone can do to stop him. he needs to figure out how to play it that way all the time non rocket: a lot. i love guys who either play good, clean defense, efficient scoring, unselfish, entertaining. so kirilenko, steve nash, arenas
Steve Francis's stock shot up in my book. It takes a lot of guts to come back to a town where half of its fans rejected you. I wish him the best personal and team success.
Michael Redd fav non rockets player. he is a work horse who came out of nowhere. kind of like Gilbert Arenas. But Gil because such a whiny b****, and now I completely hate him. Redd isn't a highlight reel but he gets things done and hasnt grown a big head yet. Yao: favorite rockets player because of his work ethic and the way he just keeps fighting game after game even when he is the most physically abused player in the nba. if they called half the fouls on him, he would lead the nba in free throw attempts.
Manu Ginobili....the flopper I know you hate the guy....but he´s the greatest basketball player ever born in my country.
