saw this on another board and I thought it would be interesting to see other people's choices. body: what height and weight your player to have. Determines strength ball handling: ability to control the ball hops: raw jumping ability speed: how fast you go end to end hustle: Goes as hard as he can for the game. diving etc. decision making: what do you think this means? creativity: To do something that's out of the blue such as behind the back passes, circus shots, etc. passing: duh here's mine, I just used current players. -------------- body: Shaq ball handling: Payton hops: Carter speed: Iverson hustle: Garnett decision making: Kidd creativity: Kobe passing: Kidd shooting: Rice shot blocking: Olajuwon I just though this would be neat to see the different kinds of players we can come up with. You can do a funny one, a balanced one, an ultimate one, or whatever. Only NBA players can be used though. You can use someone more than once. ------------------ snap crackle pop [This message has been edited by CriscoKidd (edited May 12, 2001).]
Larry Bird was the Ultimate NBA Player. Smart, could rebound, shoot lights out, great passer/ball handler and a leader. A players jumping ability is overated. If you box out you don't have to jump through the roof for a rebound. Larry wasn't fast but he had a quick first step that helped him get by good defenders. ------------------ "Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."- (Aldous Huxley)

Now if we're talking about who epitomizes what we feel to be best at each of these characteristics, I'll play.... All-time listed first, current NBAers listed next Body: Micheal Jordan - Tracy McGrady Handles: ??? - Allen Iverson (This one is hard to define. Is it fancy dribbling? Is it a good assist-to-turn over ratio? Is it the ability to shake and bake or cross over? Is it someone you trust with the ball?) Hops: Dominique Wilkins - Steve Francis Speed: ??? - Allen Iverson Hustle: Larry Bird - Bo Outlaw (or Kevin Garnett) Decision making: Larry Bird - John Stockton Creativity: Magic Johnson - Jason Williams Passing: Magic Johnson - Jason Kidd Shooting: Larry Bird - Ray Allen (over Stockton by a hair) Rebounding: Moses Malone - Shaquille O'Neal Shot blocking: Hakeem Olajuwon - Theo Ratliff ------------------ DREAMer's Rocket Page
Hakeem with three point range and a slightly quicker dribble. ------------------ The Protrolls.com message boards! Protrolls.com! Don't visit my site.

After all, I've got the hands for it.) Sorry, I couldn't come up with a shot blocker. Any ideas? ------------------
