    Why would A.I. dunk a Gary Payton missed free throw? :confused: That would be amazing.

    What makes Kobe so sophisticated? Those r****ded see-through sun glasses he wears at ALL times when he is not on a basketball court?

    Dunk-wise, Vince has the most style in the NBA. Even doing the same dunks as other people, he makes the dunks look better for some reason. I posted this in the other thread, but some of his dunks are just amazing:

    1999
    2000
    2001
    2002
    2003
    Team USA

    Shot-wise would have to be Marion (j/k)...actually Ray Allen or Allan Houston.

    Dribbling would have to be Iverson.

    Passing, I would say Kidd.

    As for pure-street, no one can top Rafer Alston. :cool:

    One of the weak sides of Iverson's game is that he's shooting to much and he has a pretty weak field goal percentage, that's right, but I still think he has the smoothest game in the NBA because of the amazing speed and killer crossovers. Remember, I'm talking about style and smoothness here, and Iverson often takes difficult stepbacks and other goodlooking but difficult shots. It looks good and they are very very smooth, but it's hard to make them. If you are analyzing his game, then it's bad with that kind of fg percentage, but when it comes to smoothness and style, you just can't say any negative about Iverson.

    Ray Allen's shot is butter, it's so smoooth. But for overall game, it has to be McGrady. He just makes everything seem effortless, like he's gliding along on the court. He looks bored while pouring in 40; that's style.

    Yeah, he was. Sacramento really would've been smart to keep this guy around and let him develop.

    That is mark of the great ones, make the difficult look like it's easy. T-Mac does that quite well. I think his J is a bit flat-arced, but does he really need it to have an arc as big as say, Steve Kerr? He releases at the top of his jump always and perfectly waves the ball goodbye in his follow-through like you're taught in CYO ball. I would say Tim Duncan, but his game is like a Lexus to me. Perfect in everyway, but as far as personality, it is lacking.

    yeah T-MAc does everything efforlessly. It makes me wonder whether he could do anything H-A-R-D. Keeping yourself loose is kinda dangerous.

    :cool: I agree.Iverson does have the most style for an 6'1 person.I like the fact that him and Francis can break down a guy twice their size.

    This is myfirst time to see the famous Carter dunk in 2000 Olympics. It is totally rediculous. He flew over the poor French center!

    The previous best I saw was Ricky Davis flew over Steve Nash. But Nash is a much shorter point guard compared to the French center.

    E.T.

    Who else could be so smooth as to have a ring in each of his first two season, look like a stinkin' alien, make boo-coo bucks just hangin' around the east coast, and speak so elequently in interviews?

    :D
