Which player do you tend to play most like?

[Boge]

I haven't played ball in a long time since my friends got married and we all got fat and lazy.

When we did play, I used to wonder what player I played most like. There wasn't one player that was really ME.

Lamarcus Aldridge might be the closest, but He's a pretty one dimentional player from what I've seen. He does a right hook, or a turn around (to his right) fade away. His fade is why I think of him. I was always the tallest of my friends, so I played in the post, and my fade was DEADLY. I would turn both ways though. I also didn't just do two moves, but a variety, up and unders, fades both sides, plain turn around shots, jump hooks (not left though).

I also had a decent face up game. I could hit the jump shot, or fake and drive. The midrange shot was cake for me. I was also a strong 3 point shooter. So in that sense, I think Dirk or Love. I was a strong rebounder, not a great passer, not a GREAT ball handler. I could get steals and blocks, but I liked more positional defense instead. I was a more fundamental player than flashy.

So, I guess those three, maybe along with Timmy Duncan would be the ones I think of.


How about you?

Who's a player that can't shoot, dribble, make layups, dunk, is short, and is out of shape?

Perkins isn't short.

I always get called "Dirk" , "Kyle Korver", and at times "Air Jordan" after a dunk.. My name is Jordan, btw.

I try to emulate Jose Calderon offensively, but I'm more of a Steve Blake.

Kendrick Perkins. I've got 6 fouls for you and little else.

Like a Short White Wizards era Jordan. I make my living off of mid range jumpers and turnaround Jumpers in the post. I can grab rebounds if need be and the same goes for perimeter defense. I handle the ball like Javale though so I don't recommend me running the break.
