Greatest Basketball Player Ever

[johnnyrondo]

Rules: Ok, we're going to create the greatest basketball player that could humanly exist. We just keep adding characteristics until the player is complete. You can add as many characteristics as you like, but only one at a time (someone has to post between you). Also, try not to add something that is way too similar. Like if "48 inch vertical" has been listed, no need to add "great leaper." And try to be specific. Don't just say "good shooter." Be specific about his range. And in regards to the "humanly" part, I mean don't say "9 feet tall" or "100 inch vertical." Basically we're creating a player that has some Bird in him, some Magic, some Jordan, some Shaq, etc.  Once we seem to be done, I will use this info for another cool idea (cool to me at least. lol) Copy and paste the list as you add. I'll go first.

3. Must have Tremendous Upside.

Can't really include that, because this player would be a finished product.

I'm trying not to add too many myself, so that it can be more collaborative. Pretty good characteristics so far, but many more to go imo.

I'm curious Roy, why did you pick 7'2"? I was thinking maybe 6'11", so wondering about your rationale.

7'2" would give the player the ability to physically intimidate just about any other player in the NBA in the post.  KG is said to be 7'1" (in reality) and he's realistically just about the perfect height.  Giving him another inch makes it that much easier to shoot over others, and to D up against just about anyone.  So long as he has the corresponding coordination to go along with it, I don't see a downside to being that height.
