    That's news to me. I thought the greatest basketball player that was born in Argentina was Luis Scola.

    My favorite non-Rocket is Kevin Garnett. I've met him twice and he's just such an incredibly nice and humble guy. All class.

    I also can't help but root for Allen Iverson. I just keeping watching the abuse his body takes and thinking it has to break down, but he just keeps on going. It's really quite amazing.

    when i play, considering i dont have palpable shooting skills from outside, i love the passing game...cus i consider that the best aspect of my game, so i admire those who revel in it

    i love

    magic, nash, kidd, sabonis! (compared to the group i play with, my size and talent repertoire matches up with sabonis very well, or divac...),


    dwight howard, cus he fits the term "man-child" better than anyone ive ever seen, tmac and yao and stevie, of course

    Favorite Player

    Yao Ming - He's a great center....by far the best 5 man in the NBA. He's also well-spoken, hard-worker, nice guy, he seems like he wants to be great and winner in this league, and he's 7,5 and actually good player...no and all star player. He's is actually good player 7,5, since most really tall players are usually not that good. Yao is also the only player to come from East Asia and actually be successful player in the NBA...and possibly if he wins a title or MVP or two he could become a high-ranking HOF player...and last but not least is the way plays...He hasn't perfected his game, but he has great shooting range, has great paint game, nice hook shot, and rare nice bank shot. Actually, he is more agile than center smaller and weigh-less than he was.

    Favorite non Rocket

    Kobe - Even though he might caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers....he is the closest thing in the league to the likes of Jordan, Magic, Bird, and etc. Kobe is the greatest BB player on the planet...contributed to leading the Lakers to 3x titles in the Lakers dominance of the early new milliniuem...he can make any kind shot on the floor imaginable or unimaginable...he is the one player who can win a game for you whether he needs to score buncha points or stop the other teams best player or clutch shooter on the last play...he can shoot 3s....high flying dunker...he is one of the only player in league to score at least 50 points in 4 consecutive games (only Wilt has done that)...he's had his team in playoffs every year with and without Shaq, except a year he was injured for the last 15 games... people nitpick and say he is selfish, sorta true, but his team is horrible without him....killer instinct...or they will say he gave 30 or 35 points against Melo, Wade, or some unknown guy...remember they were nights Jordan and Bird got out scored by someone like Dominique, King, English, or even some odd shooting guard or small foward...you can't shut everyone one down everynight. But I started a franchise tomorrow and I had to get one player it would be Bryant by far.

    I think that at times, even though he comes off as snobbish or arrogant or childish...I think he's a great guy...I don't think he is as domineering or commanding as M.J...but actually think that's good thing....I think Shaq was really the only other player that he really had a big problem with...outside of Bynum...I thought that was odd...cause I've never seen or heard him go after another player...still I think he will mature and become a great leader and win a few championships.


    Favorite Former Player (Tie):

    M.J.: non comments

    Muggsy Bogues: He was really nice player to watch...at 5,3...it was like watching someone in Middle School come in play against giants and actually have success...he put up some above average numbers...no not for man his size, but for an NBA point guard...he was good defense player...and probably would've made one or two all-defense teams, but he was in the league as the same time...as Stockton, Payton, Blaylock, Price, Johnson, and Kidd. But personally, I thought he was a better defender than Kidd.

    One thing that he did that was probably amazing...was he managed to block Patrick Ewing shots...I mean Patrick got his shots blocked by smaller players all the time...not by anyone who is 5,3.

    Favorite College Player

    Bobby Hurley - really liked his game...but hated Duke. Hated what happened in his NBA career with injuries...I thought he would be one on all the all star teams...and panned out the most of that Duke bunch...I thought he would've been a top 10 to maybe 5 point guard in the league.

    fav current rocket is easily tmac followed by chuck...

    fav non-rocket player is easily steve nash, how can you not like him? unless he is playin the rockets. Then comes baron davis and dwyane wade due to the fact that they dominated the mavs and nothing could have made me happier than that except for the rockets winning the finals, but that is obvious

    I dont care for Steve Nash. Absolutely NO defense, and he seems to be a bit of a baby sometimes.

    Fav Current Rocket - Yao, T-Mac, Franchise, MJ, Battier

    Favorite All-time Rox - Akeem (Hakem) "the Dream" Olajuwon, Moses (fo, fo, fo) Malone, Clyde (the Glide) Drexler, Yao, OT, Rudy, T-Mac, Mad Max, T-Mac, Sam I Am, Super Mario, Steve (Stevie Franchise) Francis, Kenny "the Jet" Smith, R. Reid, "the Round Mound of Rebound" Barkley, KWill, Gene Peterson (yes, I know he never played, but he's still a big member of the organization), Calvin, Elvin "the Big E" Hayes, Sampson, (Big Shot Bob) Horry, Black Magic (Sweet Lew), Bill Fitch (yes, he never played either), Jim Petersen, EJ (Eddie...no not Ernie for you TNT freaks), J. Lucas (Cool Hand Luke), Deke, Purvis (Rainbow), Lloyd ("World B.") Free, Rick (Granny Shot) Barry. Scotty Brooks, (Sleepy) Floyd, Mike (Mr. Ice Cream) Woodson, Steve (although he may be best known now as the anti-christ) Patterson, Matress Mac, etc. (sure I forgot a few, but most of my personal favorites nevertheless).

    Favorite All-Time - Magic (Blasphomy), Bird (Blasphomy, yet again), Dream, MJ, & Kobe. (OK maybe 3 guards, a forward and a Center, but this team could beat anyone). Don't say no...even in Kobe's book, no means yes. ;) Bird would have to play PF, but Kobe could play SF, with MJ SG, and Magic running the show.
