I play like I belong @ the Y...lol Over the years my game has changed.

1st level: When I ws younger I Used to be like Rondo (dribble happy, and pass 1st, pass, 2nd, pass 3rd, and shoot when forced to). Was too quick for my own-self, and got hung even on layups lol. I rather dribble create for others and pass.

2nd level: (In my prime) I thought I was Jordan/T-mac/Jason Kidd. I finally got a jump-shot, I was always athletic so it helped me be more creative when doing fancy clutch lay-ups. 3 points shots I didn;t care for, just lay-ups and 2 pointers. My passing skills improved even better.

3rd level: A guy named "Jaren Jackson" of Spurs (Yall remember him??? LOL!!!) I fell in love with his 3 point shooting form, and that's all I started practicing was 3's. Wish I never done that because it hurt the rest of my game over the years. Nowadays all I do is shoot 3's and pass when not open. I still try to assist like before but most likely its a turnover waiting to happen :-*

Btw, anyone else here a right-hander that likes to drive to the left? I like faking to the left, then fake to the right, then blast by on the left. They always expect me to go right, but I hardly ever do :]

I am like an old Gary Payton on springs. I like posting up weaker guards, good D, can't really shoot... but can jump, and that's where the comparison's stop.

Or maybe Rondo because I beast the boards, get steals and can't shoot to save my life.

Off the court I am like Shawn Kemp hahaha...

I'm 5'9" and have only been blocked once in the last couple years. I have a good shot selection. I used to be pass first, but have really improved my shot, so I take it a lot now. Unless there is a better shooter on my team, then I get the ball to them. I am constantly called Steve Nash while I'm playing and I find the description to be accurate. However, I play better D than Nash. I have somehow become a good shot blocker because of watching youtube videos featuring Rasheed Wallace teaching good timing when blocking shots.

Like Kiorrik if I get hit adrenaline kicks in and I play better. I broke my nose my senior year of high school and never got it reset. Whenever anybody touches it with the smallest amount of force it starts bleeding. It doesn't hurt that bad, but it makes me play better, so I'm fine with it. I used to smoke a lot and my lungs haven't completely come around yet, so I tend to get pretty lazy when I can't breathe.
Hah, I'm asthmatic so I get winded easily too. I don't play lazy though, just sloppy.

I had my first block this year. Was on a break from behind. Wasn't a hard swat, more of a tap to get it to not go in. Was awesome.

Sloppy is a much better word for it. Lazy does not describe me at all. At least not on the basketball court.

Rondo: I can pass and make trick shots, but not regular shots. I can also rebound.

I used play like Nate Robinson in the sense I'm 5'7 and could dunk but I blew out my knee so now I just shoot 3s from anywhere past the half court line lol. Great D on days when my knee feels good, average when it gets stiff.

I'm with you, even though I have weak left hand I find that I prefer to go left.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Pretty much any pickup game I've gotten into I've had guys calling me Johnny Stockton before long.  I'm short but solidly built, deceptively quick and I've relied pretty heavily on a Stockton-style underhanded driving layup since midway through high school.  Oh and I love setting strong screens and boxing out bigger players, and running underneath rebounders to pop the ball out of their hands as they come down with it. 

I'm a pretty mediocre passer for a PG though, so the similarities definitely end there.

Thats my bread and butter. Jab step to the right and drive with my left. Catches them snoozin everytime.
I would say im a slashing combo guard. I used to be a good shooter but have seemed to lost my jumper over the years. Im working on getting it back. I guess i would way Im maybe a poor mans Dwane Wade

E-Dubb.....or Dudley the way he played at BC before he became lethal from 3.

I was undersized but out rebounded and out defended bigger guys all the time. And I was an offensive rebound specialist ala Dudley or Tony Allen, without the dunks.
Looking for a Sig designer....obviously i will be greatful with tps.

Looking for a Wire - Rondo theme....PM with ideas and I'll tp

Perkins or Powe... I could never get a good jumpshot so I made up for everything that I lacked with my muscle,rebounding, and hatred of ever losing. I live by the post up.
True Celtic = Leon Powe

Bring back the show!!!!
