that's a good reply. i'd like to know too. i've played with you enough to know that as teammate I can read you...meaning I can expect you to cut when you're supposed to, get out of my way if i'm driving, or shoot for the assist. as moes said, you're usually the best shooter and probably best ball handler which you don't get too fancy with. as an opponent, i feel i play pretty good d on you but i can't really stop the jumper when it's on. you're first step is quick but even more impressive is your explosiveness from a stationary position.
I'm the passer and spot up shooter. Ocasionally I'll slash toward the basket. I pretty much I spit hot fire.
something like a 3. defintely not a point forward. Something of a cross of Shane Battier, Chuck Hayes, and Michael Jordan. Seriously. I have this sweet little MJ turn around jumper that I hit every now and then. When I hit it, it's pretty damn awesome. If I hit jumpshots, it's a bonus. I get most of my points on driving layups, and put backs. I have decent arm size for my body size. I can jump, and I block shots, even at my height.
Back to the basket "game"....which doesn't work well unless everyone is small since I am only 6' I go 300lbs and am willing to set pics..which doesn't make me popular on the playground...don't jump well but can get some rebounds with my bulk and positioning.
Hmmm... so you hog all the resources until you blow up like a type 1a supernova? Sounds like Ron Artest to me.
I love playing with big guys like you. If someone sets a nice pick and can roll to the basket and finish a layup consistently it's usually a wrap in most pick-up games. I was once told it's not bragging if you can do it. Well my mid-range game is deadly a lot like shooting a lay up for me. So if a nice pick is set near the elbow for me going either left or right somebody will be open, be it myself the picker on the roll or flare or the guy who is in the corner for a spot up 3 left open from their mans helping on my drive. My mid-range jumper keeps the defense honest while my hesitation move mimics closely to that of the start of my jump shot allowing me to get past the switch opening up a myriad of great shot opportunities. If they hedge me out I back it out to the top of the key and am left in a 1 on 1 situation with the floor spread or I'll pass to a teammate on the wing and cut towards the basket.
i like to post up and shoot fade always because for some odd reason i can't shoot while standing still, my spot up shooting sucks and i'm a horrible three point shooter...i usually guard the best player on the other team and am a good rebounder for my size, my crossover is pretty sick but i tend to shy away from driving to the rim in fear of busting my knee again....my weakness is being way to unselfish and not being able to hit a consistent jumpshot
I'm the ultimate team player, Shane Battier type, I may not always get the points but i help the team win.
Depends on the level of play I'm playing with but with serious ballers, I usually play defense on the 2nd best perimeter opponent unless they're huge and do a good job staying in front of my man forcing him to take long jumpshots. Offensively, I'll run the fastbreak looking for quick opportunities to score. I'm also very good at catch-and-shooting with range extending to the nba 3pt line, and an excellent midrange shooter. Not much of a ballhandler, just average.My shot is my best asset.
Offensively, I'm like Vernon MadMax Maxwell. I can drive on anyone without fear, draw double teams, and dish it off to Dream for an easy two. On defense, I am Mr. Mean. I will rebound with the best of them and box out even the tallest of dudes for position. Boxing out is my art, and chasing down the loose ball a-la David Wood is my forte. Like Robert Horry, I don't give up on Defense and that's why I worked out for Rudy T. and was selected in the first round. I once was rumored to be almost traded and tore the scoreboard apart to show what I was truly worth. Unfortunately, I am no Big Shot Bob at the end of the game. I will find you open on a streaking fast break like Otis Thorpe to a streaking Kenny Smith.
i'm the one usually ballin' up Mig but it depends on my team i either post up and kick out or score depending on matchups or help spread the defense from the 3pt line ball handler, drive and dish guy i am not
I'm gonna take a page out of ClutchCity and Macalu's book. Someone please take the time to describe my game. I have played with everyone. I'm gonna sum up everyone I have played with in one thread coming up later tonight for sure. Then after I get some assessment from you guys I'll bus out my own over exaggerated thoughts lol
Rebounding and scoring PF, I play from the post and either score or draw the double team so my teammates are open.
I serve a few purposes. When my jumper is going, it's GOING. It doesn't matter where I am or if someone's sticking a hand in my face, it's going in. I normally suck at corner shots, but even those tend to drop. I'm starting to develop a nice little hook near the basket, which is nice to have at 6'4". I don't have any weight to throw around though, so I have to sneak into position to have an advantage. But I'm still too easily moved to be a truly effective post threat. I also have a knack for snagging offensive rebounds over the heads of unsuspecting shorter players and putting it back up and in. Overall though, I'm a pretty crappy rebounder. This is mostly due to a lack of explosiveness. I can only get vertical if I have momentum. But one thing I do take pride in is that I never make it easy to get a jumper over me. A lot of people think they'll shake me off with a couple little crossovers and jack one up over me. I'll block about 1 out of 10 of those, and most of the other 9 miss. The exception to this rule is Moes, whose FG% seems to skyrocket as soon as I put a hand in his face.
I think I have a block on everyone that has played at some clutchfans shindig. I should list who i've played agaisnt. i can't guard Rocketfire for some damn reason. I think cluchcityreturns is probably the top player, top 3 player on the board overall package wise. he shoots, he drives, he jumps. the best way to stop him is if he doesnt put his contacts in,and he decides not to play with glasses. NBA player wise, not sure who i can compare him to. when i first played vs stack24, the first thing that came to my mind was a cross of rasheed wallace and someone else. not quite sure. i guess the outside shot, and body styling. dave2000 reminds me of Richard Jefferson.
