I'm a decent passer,spot up shooter and a pretty good defender. Cant penetrate or dribble well and not really athletic. Walton I guess, although i could have defended Pierce better than him in 08 :D

I'm a streaky shooter but when I'm on, I'm like Glen Rice. I'm not a good defender though...

worlds worst handles... have used my right hand once ever. can get very hot from 3, but can also be very very cold.

love a one-on-one defensive challenge, dont get heaps of steals but enjoy containing my player... terrible defender otherwise....

really I'm just useless. Career night of 34 points....career average of about 5points per game. haha

I possess the athleticism, fundamentals, and the footwork of Kobe, the acting chops of Fisher, the strength and interior presence of a prime Shaq, the passing ability of Magic, and the skyhook of Kareem.

My mother is Pau Gasol and my father is Lamar Odom. I've inherited their versatility, but most of my genes are maternal seeing as I've inherited my intellect and my curly jewish fro from my mother. Because of my genes and my game I can play every position on the floor and guarantee dominance. Even though my height is below average for a PG. You may have never heard of me, many of my opponents die right on the court trying to guard me. Others are left with the Andrew Bynum knees, never to play the game again.

I'm in every Lakers fans wettest dream and I'm in Michael Jordan's worst nightmare.

Jetset I wish I could fit this whole post into my sig man i'm telling you this was the post of the year! I'm still rotf


You got some jetfuel dribbling out of your mouth still, might want to clean that up :thumbsup:


Yeah whatever this is suppose to mean :roll:

It's definitely Kobe Bryant. It's always underbite time for me.

I'm assuming this question isn't about skill leve but more about style. I'll go with Matt Barnes. I hustle for rebounds and defense, and make an occasional 3 pointer or layup. I can't create my own shot and Im pretty below average on knocking down open jumpers.

When I get hot with my 3 pointers I start making 7 or 8 in a row. But sometimes I miss 10 in a row. I'm streaky

I wish I could say Kobe. But these days. My game is more like David Rivers. Most will never remember the guard.

Major ball handling skills. If you even attempted to steal the ball from him your ankles were broken right now.

I put that on the board before as who I could handle the ball like as part of how I got nicknamed Anklebreaker but like you said most had no idea who he was.

Sasha.

Strong shooter from mid-range and long-range. Don't really attack the basket and usually can't finish in close but occasionally am able to make some interesting shots. Pesky defense - not the quickest but work hard to move my feet and try and get good position.

So yeah, closest is probably Sasha - maybe Fisher.

I would say my offensive game is very similarly modeled after Kobe Bryant's current game. I don't drive to the basket very often as the quickness in my first step is non-existent since my high school days. I usually post up and love the 12-18 footers but don't shy away from 3's if left open (although I do tend to get a little cocky sometimes and try a pull-up 3 in someone's face like Kobe with a very rare success rate, haha). I play very physical and when I do drive to the basket or have an open lane I will 90% of the time try to dunk it even if I won't likely convert it as I will get a foul called more often that way.

On the defensive end I play very similar to Kobe in that I don't play much of it but I do make sure to box out and try to get rebounds.
