    Man this is tough, I guess I would have to go with Charles Barkley, I kinda do everything on the court. I would say larry Bird, but I can not shoot that well, and it would be disrespectful. Also I am almost as big as Chuck, 6'3" 240.

    I go 5'8'' Alegedelly 5'9'' and I weigh 122 lbs and 130 or so. It fluctuates alot. I think I am a streaky shooter is what they say. When I was like 8 or 9 or whatever, I played with basketball with the older kids, the 11, 12, 13 year olds, this one guy told me when you're hot, you're f'ning hot, but when you're cold, you might as well go back inside.

    I think the only reason they let me lay ball with them was because they needed a man.

    I think I remind myself of a Reggie Miller with out the shots. Just running around picks, and screens and getting the easy layups on backdoor cuts. Even though I go 5'8'' I can block shots. No lie. I think people easily get embarrased when I block their shots. There is no need to be embarrased about me blocking your shots. It should be a humbling experience. Maybe, i'm a short mans Robert Horrry too, because I can come from the weakside to block shots.

    I don' think this NBA player has been made yet, so if anyone can remotely think of one, hit the post reply button.

    I'm 5'4" so I instantly compare myself to Earl Boykins, lol.

    I play some tenacious d, and am a pass-first PG. Infact, I never look to score. Rarely, I do. I guess I could compare myself to like John Stockton. Smart on the court. I don't shoot alot, but since I really only shoot when I have really good looks(I'm 5'4, I'm always looking out for the guys that want to block me!), I shoot a high percentage, especially in 3's.

    But for the lack of height I make up in Allen Iversonish passion for the game, and never stop hustling.

    I would always play in community games throughout high school as a starter simply because I'd hustle til I couldn't move any longer.

    I'm also a dirty player I guess, I grab jerseys, I put a bow into you boxing out(well with the height this is a must) and I flop more than Vlade. Do whatever it takes.

    I love playing at the local area with my friends, and even though I am much shorter than them, I'll always take the PG, and they always try to work me with a quick move, and my little hands are in there stealing the ball away. I love basketball.
