    This is silly. That said, I was thinking about this in a moment of boredom, and just wanted to put this up and see if anybody else can get silly too. The idea is what superheroes (or supervillains) do particular rockets players bring to mind and why...

    Without further ado, here's my Rockets League of Justice...

    Yao Ming : Apache Chief - I'm giving away my age, but "Enek Chok!" Nuff said.

    Shane Battier
    : Batman - the detective, the ultimate "smart" superhero. Plus Batman didn't really have any powers, he just out-thought his opponents.

    Ron Artest: Wolverine - the ultimate lone wolf, rogue agent. "I'm the best at what I do. And what I do ain't pretty." I couldn't describe Artest's game any better.

    Tracy McGrady: Iron Man - In armor, he can do it all. He flies, he's strong and almost invincible. Shoots lasers, and has a wide array of offensive weapons. With the armor off, he's actually pretty human and fragile. There's a joke about no heart in there, but I don't really think that actually applies to McGrady at all.

    Aaron Brooks: The Flash - who else? or maybe Mighty Mouse...

    Von Wafer: a cross between the Human Torch on offense and that X-Man girl that walks through walls for his defense.

    Kyle Lowry
    : Juggernaut - bowls through the lane, and cannot be stopped from penetrating. "I'm the Juggernaut, yeeatch!"

    For everybody else, I got nothing so far. So anyone else got ideas? Is there an Aquaman or a Daredevil on the team? Let's have it...

    umm... in this case iron man doesnt refer to being not injured, if you read his description at all you'd know this.

    That's what I'm talking about! I also could see Landry as the Beast. He has sick athleticism and just hangs all over the rim.

    Also, I seeing a lot of McGrady hate in here. I get it, but this is supposed to be fairly light-hearted. I guess I'm just not angry anymore. Oh well...

    Here's another question.

    Who are your villains who are on other teams?

    Kobe - The Joker: The ultimate super-villain who is crafty, smart, and certainly deadly. Also, he is the only villain capable of destroying Batman on a regular basis.

    Mehmet Okur - Doctor Octopus: Reaches in like he has eight arms.

    Tim Duncan - Magneto: Powerful, refined, not entirely evil, but a villain nonetheless, because his motives clash with the good guys

    Chris Paul - Lex Luther: Just a genius in evildoing. Sets up complex, and equally insidious traps for our superheros.

    Lebron James - Galactus: Possibly the most powerful being in the comic book universe.

    I thought Captain Marvel fit Yao the best. Captain Marvel just fits Yao's personality.

    i feel so sorry for people that never had the pleasure of reading Marvel comic books. That is a sin against humanity.
