    In footbal I would have to say I'm a Michael Irvin type. Great hands, with some quickness and speed but not world beaters.

    In basketball, I think i'm a Boki on a good night. Good outside shot, with an occasional drive.

    This goes for any sport.

    Football - Deion Sanders. I'm a pure shutdown corner who hates contact (due to a variety of injuries I've suffered over the years from playing tackle football)

    Basketball - Allan Houston - Love to stroke it from the outside with my sweet touch, not much for driving the paint. Can post up with the best of them as well.

    Basebal - Rey Ordonez. I can catch a ball, but I can't hit for squat.

    Well, I'm slow, can't shoot that well, have poor ball handling, and I have almost no vertical leap.....so, basically any white guy that's ever played for the Rockets not named Rudy Tomjanovich or Matt Bullard. :)

    Basketball - Otis Thorpe. The strong silent type. I have no jumper but I like doing the dirty work like rebounding, setting picks, tough D, and generally pushing people around.

    Football - Jay Novecek TE (sp?). I like blocking and when I catch a pass, I'm hard to bring down.

    Baseball - Derek Bell. I suck.

    In football, basketball, baseball, golf, bowling, and just about every sport on planet earth, my game most resembles Pee Wee Herman than any accomplished athlete.

    Now talk to me about my guitar playing, and that's another story!

    Charles Barkley... if we play on 8 foot rims. I've got the low post moves but don't have the height.

    No edit. I just wanted to add that I suck at all of these sports.

    Thanks.

    Basketball -- Reggie Miller. Back in H.S., my teammates thought I played like Scottie Pippen (lanky, good D, quick first step). Now, I just run around the court, looking for screens, lots of wild 3s

    Football -- Rod Woodson. Physical cornerback but I could never return punts

    Baseball -- Any manager who wasn't a good player. Love the game of baseball, just can't play it once they took the ball off the tee.

    I resemble B.B. King and Jimmie Vaughan in my playing style.

    Tonewise I would have to say Doyle Bramhall and Jimmy Page.

    With song writing styles of Tom Petty and Johnny Lang :cool:

    Very nice!

    Playing style I am a cross between Jimmie Vaughan and Little Ray Ybarra.

    Tonewise I am my own monster....early 80s American Standard Telecaster through a jacked-up 1963 Fender Vibroverb (10" Jensen ceramics) using a Boss Blues Driver and a Boss NS3 Noise Suppressor. I don't know of anyone else off the top of my head who uses this combination of gear.
