    I hate to say this, but I am kind of a Buck Johnson type.

    I am 6'2", 180, and drive to the basket at will.....a true slasher. But my "J" is good from about 20' and in. I did play two years of junior college ball in Dallas back in 1993-1994. But I am older, slower, and not quite the leaper I once was....of course, for a white guy, I guess I am ok.

    Scottie Pippen?! No, I'd never blame my teammates for my faults (not to mention that all of the parts of my face are in proportion to each other [​IMG] ).

    Come to think of it, I'm like Steve Francis too . . . except a few years older and out of shape . . . and, uhm . . . lacking all that speed and athletic ability . . . and minus that, uhm basketball skill . . . although I guess we turn the ball over about the same amount . . .

    I really patterned my game after Barkley.

    I back it in back it in back it in back it in. HAH! HAH! There is no 5 second rule in street ball! I also do the up and under a lot. OH! And When Im backin it in, I wait to get doubled, then I pass it out to the open man. I love playing with shooters cuz then it is exactly like the DIT offense.

    Sometimes I can drive it like Drexler, when Im playing from the outside. I even put my head down to look at the ball. No, really, Im doing it on purpose. REALLY!

    And on D I think I kinda play like Horry. I love weakside D. But I do have the laziness of Bark ...

    Put that all together and you have a rolling ball of Crisco!

    Mad Max- Got serious intensity and can play some great D. Can hit the three and penetrate. Field goal percentage is a little higher then mad max. Trying to emulate the Franchise on the court but damn those crossovers are too much and the vertical is just a little too high.

    Im starting to think that there is no love for Charlie Jones in here. Damn it Rocket Fan let me in the game, I just need about a minute to show everyone what I cant do.

    But if I was to describe myself for real I guess I would be like Charles with better defense and three point range. Oh but no rebounding. Just backin it in backin it in backin.........

    Okay... so like... as much as I'm enjoying all this hype, we should probably do some actual planning if anyone wants to really do this.
    I'd volunteer, but long distance calls from Provo, Utah would be pretty high. But hey, if it's on the weekend I'll fly down. Can't pass up on ball. [​IMG]
    I nominate heypartner to organize this. It's HIS thread... [​IMG]

    I'm like Dream of this year. I can only go about 5 minutes before I'm huffing and puffing!

    But for the first 5 minutes I'm Matt Maloney. I'm not a great ball-handler or penetrator. My D is ok bordering good. I just like to shoot!

    Most likely, coach would find creative ways to keep me on the IR. That would be ok just as long as I get my $7 million contract!

    Curse you HP!
    Well if Chuck is gone then I'll take Kevin Willis. I have his same offensive game (basically means if I'm outside of a 12 footer I better dish the ball or I'll get the crowd involved with the chant of Air Ball!) but I'll get some garbage points and I'll play aggressive and look mean!

    I am a chucky Brown type of player without the shooting and size. Its all about the hustle. I am on the floor a lot.

    i am 5'7, 200. i usually rebound well with people 5'11 and less. I get the lose balls on the ground despite lack of speed. I am a master of tying people up when they bring the ball to low.

    For people that play basketball at most once every two weeks with no organized experience, I am pretty bad. I have problems handling slashers man to man. I excel at cutting into the passing lanes on team defense, but am not a good weakside helper underneath (5'7).

    I'll have to take Hakeem Olajuwon in his 1993 form, say. Unstoppable in the paint no matter how many people you put on me, tough rebounder, big shot-blocker and defensive intimidator, and will reproach the punks in the game for having a dirty soul. I can't wait till this game gets together; it sounds like I'll have a field day.

    I change my mind, no more Kevin Willis, I will be Brent Price. Whichever team that I am on will think we have the game won, but minutes before game time I will be injured, and although it will not look serious, I will never play again, until I am traded or until I feel like it!
    As my replacement I elect Duke to play Maloney!
