No, you're probably just the only honest one. Oh yeah, I play just like MJ. I dominate every game I play in and have the killer instinct to put all my opponents away. You should see me dunk from the free throw line.
I hate to admit it but my style is like that of our beloved Scottie Pippen. I shoot like him, I pass like him, I handle the rock like him.
My game depends on my shot. If it's not falling I play a lot like KT. Tons of pump fakes, hard drives to the basket, spin moves, hustle rebounds and hustle d. If it is falling I play more like Mo Taylor. I help spread out the d with my shot and prefer to stay away from the inside. I still attempt to get rebounds and play d, but not with the same intensity - saving my energy for o. I've always been a streaky shooter, but now even moreso due to injuries.
On offense I play like Stevie Franchise, Clyde Drexler, Moochie, Sam Cassell, and Cat all rolled into one........on Defense i play like Sir Charles
I wonder around the court like Charles Smith<I>(runs to the same spot on the court every time)</i> I have that same routine. Austin Croshere's ball playing skills except I'm only 6-4 180. And I've got flashes of Jason William's defensive Game. That says a lot about my D.
I dunno who I'd compare to. People say I have an uncanny resemblance to Pat Garrity, and I do have a defensive game like his. But I'm not near the shooter that he is, though I prefer to take those shots. I guess you could say my game is like a very poor man's Antoine Walker, except without the flair and whatever it is he does out on the court. I like to handle the ball up the court, shoot long range jumpers (even if they don't go in), am not a great defender, though can shoot the hook shot and do well inside when given a chance. Now to only get my ankle to heal up so I can play again!
I'm a cross between The Worm, Big Sexy and The Pasty Gangsta because I can rebound like a mofo, have a offensive game that comes and goes and I love to direct the offense.
Bobby Hurley at Duke! I was a 5'2" point guard back in junior high, and Hurley was my idol! I tried to pattern my game after him. Man, he was such a great college basketball player. Arguably the best college point guard of all time. I was devastated when he had that accident. He probably never would have made it big in the NBA, but his court vision and smarts were so good, I think he could still be in the league as a backup. As far as current NBA players, I would probably say Sam Cassell. I've been shooting about 300 (college) 3-pointers 3 or 4 times a week for the past couple of months, so my shot has become a lot more accurate. I've got good court vision and a pretty good handle. Plus, like Sam and Steve Nash I can make some wild layups. But, my defense can best be described as "questionable" at times.
Jason Williams(Memphis). I do alot of fancy passes, crossovers, etc., and my 3 is pretty good. I make about 7/10 while guarded...I'm not gonna lie though, my D is terrible, and I am not quick at all(although I can blame that on my dislocated kneecap )I can get up pretty high for a 5'8 guy with messed up knees too...
i would say im like walt to but i dont mind playing down low and i make boxing out an art. im not as streaky as walt...i shoot good all the time. id rather come of a screen and pop the j then take my man of the dribble...but at the local y no one sets picks but me...
Nick VanExel I'm a lefty with great range. I can also handle the rock really well and get me going to my left and its a guaranteed 2 points. I got the left handed floater that nick always uses.
With the profound skill of the many individuals that posted. Name 5 of the ultimate players, from the previous posts, that you would like to have on your streetball team. i'd have Mduke at PG(jwill style) BobFinn,Huby_nl, GATER, and GETSMARTNOW.
Dennis Rodman I play great defense just like him, but i'm more aggressive and i usually tend to injured all the other players i play against.I would compare my offensive game to B.Wallace without the dunking stuff .
I have the speed of Arvydas Sabonis, the post-game of Brent Price, the 3 pointer of Chris Dudley, the passing skills of Yinka Dare, the rebounding of Mo Taylor, the defense of Glen Rice, the physique of Oliver Miller, and the height of Earl Boykins.
lol I would say that I am in the Eric Snow-Gary Payton-Mark Jackson(yes, I know, they are nothing alike) mold. I have a pretty good shot and am not exceptionally great at any one thing except defense. I like to say that I am a good defender. I usually put more effort in it than many other players that I play with. I am not exceptionally quick and will often take it into the post and do a couple of basic post moves.
Props to DCkid for the Bobby Hurley reference... This has been an amusing thread, as the majority of us are actually 6'0 and under, yet all have illusions of grandeur... I'd say much of my game isn't patterned mind you, but could be compared to Detroit's Jon Barry.... Great passer, solid 3-point range, and not afraid to do the little things (can you say rec league floor burns?) to earn a W...
