Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

I have the size of a small point guard (6'0", 165 lbs.) with the handles of a big man. The only positives I have going are that I'm pretty fast and can jump pretty high (I can dunk, well except for the fact that my hands are small so I can't hold onto or palm the freaking ball going up)!

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

My friends compare me to Baron Davis (awww yea) and Steve Francis.

-DEM HANDLES!
-DAT ATHLETICISM
-DAT HOPS

And...well...that's about it

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

I don't think I could narrow it down to just one player, but my play resembles either Shaq or Jamal Crawford

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

I've been told Chris Webber and Elton Brand but I'm only 5'10 and between 230-240. I may sound out of shape but if you see me play you will change your mind. I refuse to be stopped in the post and people look at me and say I likely can't shoot but then I they find out I am a very consistent shooter as well.

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

I play like Chauncey Billups (just without the body or passing abilities) or as my family puts it, "the black JJ Redick" (no racism intended).

I have a super-streaky shot and can drain them when uncovered or on a hot streak. I used to be a pushover but got a lot tougher just playing against my family, mainly my cousin. I was kinda forced to learn the art of post defense because of my older cousin, who was 3 years older AND 6 inches taller, who seemed to take pleasure in abusing his peers in post-up situations (since he's way above average height for his age). Trust me, you learn to defend the post when you've got somebody that much taller than you treating you like Earl Boykins in the paint. I used to get knocked around but finally learned to fight a bit more.

But it's not like I became better than him lol. After he learned I wasn't going to let him body me up like that, he started abusing me with an array of finesse-filled post moves. But to be honest, I give all credit to him for shaping my game for me. His long arms and suprising quickness made it to where I actually had to learn how to dribble to have any chance of driving on him. I went from a flat, no-jump shot release to having to actually jump to shoot. And I learned how to use ball fakes and adjust my shots because he'd smack the hell out of all my shots if I didn't

I'm sure like no one is gonna read all that. So I'm going to just summarize it all. I'm a streaky shooter who can play pretty good defense. My handles aren't quite up to par but I'm working on it. I'd consider myself a Chauncey Billups type of player but I've been compared more to JJ Redick or Eddie House.

I hate playing against your type in pick up games LOL. Well, at least the version of you that completely ignores the fact that you're not supposed to stand in the paint/directly under the hoop for the entire possession.

Seems like every good, short/stocky/strong guy I know just camps out in the paint with no regard for the 3 second rule because no one can move them.

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

I'll admit that I do find myself camping in the paint area a lot of the time but not every game that I play lol.

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

My playstyle is similar to Allen Iverson, except with a passers mentality and more defensive effort.

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

I hate to say this...because I just hate the guy...but I probably play like Eduardo Najera

I'm 6-3 220 and am always the best conditioned guy on the court. I move well without the ball and find open spots to get my looks. I generally shoot off the catch and my 3-point range is dwindling for some reason. I used to be lights out...

On D I just annoy people because I try and don't get tired.

I can't dribble to save my life it's about a 75% turnover rate when I put it on the floor and try to shake somebody. I have not achieved isomotion IRL!

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

I play like Dwyane Wade without the athleticism, handles, passing, and strength. I have a great mid-range game, decent 3 point game, can drive, and decent post game. I have good speed for my frame and I could rebound decently. I'm also a great on-ball defender.

Hmmm that doesn't sound like Dwayne Wade...

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

You tell me.

I play like a PF who is an excellent defender and shot blocker, but on offense I mostly shoot from mid-range and very little under the basket.

hmmm wonder what NBA player plays like that?

Re: Which NBA player do you play most like?

My game used to be similar to that of Mike Penberthy.... but my jump shot was flatter than his.

So basically you're nothing like AI outside of probably being his size and quick?
