Lol if his handle wasn't 3 years away from being average he'd be a rotation player this year. Gah dang he has to work on that.

i remember we used to have an intro thread where you were asked to compare your bball style to a player.

mine would be 5'10 TS :lol: basketball wasn't big when i was young, so i was an AFL player who started playing ball and ran around crazy with a bad handle. the way he makes everything looks awkward, really gave me flashbacks.

he dribbles like a kid who grew up on a farm and the court was dirt/grass, so you simply just shot.
