I'm the Michael Jordan of not defending. Crafty as hell offensively, though. Tony Parkerish.

Me? When I was playing (this is years and years ago)? Probably Anthony Mason. I was a no back down type of defensive player. I could dribble a bit. I didn't take **** from anyone and didn't back down. Was pretty athletic but also had line backer type musculature. Even my jump shot looked kind of like Mason's. I preferred defense over offense though I could score some.

Andre Iguodala/TJ Warren hybrid. Slasher, solid ball handler and passer for a relatively tall guy (Iguodala) but my game is predicated more on unorthodoxy/old man game (Warren) than athleticism. Not a reliable outside shooter.

I worked hard on Kareem's sky hook in my back yard when I was a kid. I tried it once in Jr high and my coach was so impressed he told me to never do that again. I also copied Reggie miller's chicken hawk defense.
In college I was like AI, a 6 footer who didn't like practice.
In ten years, I will probably be like Barkley, the round mound minus the rebound.
Today, I'm prime Sasha Kahn.

DeMar DeRozan.
I am 5'10" and a great defender, but was not a good shooter. I tried many jumpshot styles (Primarily JJ Redick), but I became most successful with DeMar's hitch and high rainbow arc. Now I can hit mid range jumpers with ease. I also learned how to post-up and finish through contact. I still have issues on offense (good with the pick and pop), but studying DeMar helped me get better.
I have better defense than him tho lol

I was a stretch four before it was cool. On defense I love banging inside and get rebounds. On offense I shoot the three. I shout Duncan when I go off the back board. And I shout Reggie when I hit a three. My vertical is roughly 3 inches.

My game most resembles Steve Kerr......currently.....if you took away his shot. Eventhough I am at least 20 years younger.
