    6'1", 180 lbs...work out every day, boxed for years, did karate for years, worked the door in bars when younger, started at pg in HS, was all- regional rb for 2 years, ( got schol. offers) was equivalent of state level sprinter...this feels like I'm doing some kind of dating service thing...umm...shoulders are 46-48, waist is 30...I'm not telling you about my eyes...

    While I started at pg, that was mostly cause I was sort of the school athlete, I was never really all that skilled, weak handle for a pg...had a really good jump shot, could dunk, and loved/was good at posting up...but on a quality team I'd be a sg or a smaller 3 at best, and that more on athleticism than skills. My D was pretty good, but if I'm your best ballhandler, your team is in trouble....

    I'm 6'4 1/2 and weigh 184. Unlike Moestavern's first post I reall am 15 years old. I have a sniper's precision from the 3 point arc and I enjoy... I mean enjoy blocking shots. I'm going to try out for the Northshore Senior High team this year. Oh yeah, I also copy D-Miles and Q's head beat thing when I dunk.

    5'8" 188.

    I've balooned since knee surgery- playing weight is a solid 170. Should easily be back in that range by April.

    Strengths- suprisingly good post player, master thief.

    Weaknesses- slow on fast breaks, weak defender around basket.

    5'10, 185.

    Strengths: offense, offense, offense. I'm not athletic at all, with no vertical leap... but I can find ways to score. I am a terrific shooter out to 25 feet (I have the NBA range trey), and I'm pretty good at getting separation off the dribble to get a shot. However, as well as I can shoot, when I play one on one I love playing in the post. I struggle against players 6'2 or taller, since long arms can give me problems, but against anyone similar to my height, my post moves are excellent. I love posting up on the right block, turning baseline, and dropping in a mini-hook off the glass. I'm also good with the up and under move.

    Besides scoring, I'm also a very smart player fundamentally, and I'm very good at seeing cutters from both the three point line and the post.

    Weaknesses: defense, defense, defense. I don't have much speed at all, so I'm already disadvantaged. But, self-admittedly, one of the problems I have always had in sports is that I do not have a lot of stamina. I tell my teammates though, and in 90% of the games I play, I guard the worst player from the other team so I can gain energy for offense.

    Basically, my game is like a shorter Glen Rice. Offensively, I can do anything from shoot lights out from the three point range to scoring in the post to handling the ball. However, if you need me to run the floor or defend a top scorer, there's not much I can do. :)

    I know what you mean. At my school, I'm about the tallest one in my grade. Last year, there was a 6'4" senior. We thought he was a giant. But maybe I'm in for another growth spurt... :D (I'm 16.)

    As for muscle, I'm working on that. I'm all muscle, but that's only because I was skin and bones before. Now I added some weight, all muscle.

    Though I don't need to worry about athletics too much. I probably gonna use my smarts to get into college.

    I never really did put my strenghts and weaknesses...

    Strengths: creative slasher/shooter full of "playground" moves, good post-up/turnaround moves and I have a great baby hook, long arms, good defense, good jumping ability (although I can't dunk anymore), decent passer/court vision, pretty good handles, really really good trash talker

    Weaknesses: knees are the biggest - I am not supposed to even play anymore, deteriorating shot (although I would like to at least work shooting around back into my life), not a great "team player" I prefer iso drives and stuff, stamina is gone

    So, I suck for Horse or around the world, but in a game or in 21, I can cover up for my very unreliable shot...it sucks, I used to be a great shooter. In fact, that was once the best part of my game. Ah, old age and physical deterioration...gotta love it.

    My right biceps is 15 and a half inches and left one is like 15 and a quarter, which that may be as big as Kam's legs.;)

    So, bring it on, Kam!:p ;)

    I'm in my 20's but I guess I do play like a 40 year old man in some ways. Damn, that really hurts to be compared to Stockton.

    You can diguise yourself if you wear normal gym shorts. Don't do the tight and high thing, m'kay?
