What Have You Borrowed From NBA Players?

Re: What Have You Borrowed From NBA Players?

I think everyone has tried to mimic Rondo's fake pass.

I personally have tried taking Hakeem Olajuwon's spin moves, Kobe's/Jordan's pull up, and a lot of Timmy's post moves.

D-Howard's opposite shoulder tap on boards.

Jamal Crawford's hopping behind the back layup. Killer on the fastbreak.. Implemented it very well into my game aactually.

Also post fadeaways.. see Michael Jordan & Kobe

As a few have mentioned, Rondo's fake behind the back pass as he drives.

Re: What Have You Borrowed From NBA Players?

I've done a lot of stuff that I've seen Rajon Rondo do, witht the behind the back passes and stuff.

I try to imitate Dwyane Wade's shot. I also am attempting to master a Roy Hibbert-esque hook shot, which isn't going well.

What about some stylistic things you guys have "borrowed" or copied from NBA guys?

For example, I've always worn a sweatband just below, or even on, my left elbow, a la Michael Jordan.

I wore two black Nike elite sleeves ala Carmelo & Dwight throughout my high school career

Re: What Have You Borrowed From NBA Players?

Recently I've been heavily influenced by Stephen Curry. I sprained my ankle at the end of June, recovered, then just sprained it again tonight, but only after going on a wild scoring binge, just like my new idol.

One thing I wish I could borrow is Kevin Durant's freakish length.. You see him dunk and it looks bad***, then you see the slow motion replay and he's about 3 inches off the ground lol.. I wish it was that effortless for me!

I use absolutely no gear, a la Steve Novak. Except I can't shoot anywhere near the level of Steve Novak.

Tyreke Evans jumpshot.

Westbrook court vision.

Tony Allen cross over.

Only thing I got going for me is that Im about 6'3 with above average athleticism. So i usualy just try to LeBron my way to the rim. Ill get a dunk or two per game if Im not being too passive. Theres not a lot of people with a combination of size atheleticism and shooting stroke out here i vegas, well at least where i play, so Im usually able to lock down whoever Im guarding or at least make sure I dont get toasted.

I've borrowed the Tony Parker floater but that's about it.

Re: What Have You Borrowed From NBA Players?

I try to mimic Jason Kidd's IQ. I read up a lot on different plays. I know how to execute a pick and roll or pick and pop now.

When playing Shooting Guard, I use the backboard a lot like Wade. (Not sure if he still does that a lot, I haven't payed attention to that.)

I have Melo's form for some reason. Either it's a curse or blessing, I don't know. Both our forms are ugly to me, and I've been trying to replace it with either MJ's or Stephen Curry's.

I did a Euro-Step once and I was nicknamed D-Will for the rest of that school year. -_- Not that I minded. It's also because I look like him, sort of.

My Euros now are like Wade's or Manu's. Or at least somewhat. Those are the best to me, so I like to emulate their versions.

Other Non-Skill Stuff:

Rasheed Wallace's "BALL DONT LIE"
Kent Bazemore's Celebrations
LeBron's Celebrations
Melo's Pregame Inspect Ball (Got it down pat now, lol)
