When I was younger I used to play center because I was tall, now 6'2 isn't so tall anymore so I've slid to PG over the years. I pretty much became pass-first because I had a really awkward shooting touch after the surgery and couldn't hit a groove, but more recently I've developed a pretty workable mid range game and the occasional 3 if I get some breathing room. Still like to pass before I like to shoot, though.
I have pretty much played the 3 since I began playing ball. Some spot time at the 4 and 5 in shorter leagues, but I am not a fan. But having said that, for my height (6'4" and a quarter
) I have a decent dribble so have also played spot minutes at the other two positions too.
As for the way I play, I am more of a slasher than anything, I like to drive and dish or finish with contact. I also love the baseline and tend to do a bit of work a long it. I can post effectively, however, this is more due to stupidity of defenders, I really only have 2 moves in the post that I can use effectively the majority of the time. Other than that, it is more of see what happens when posting up.
I can shoot the 3-ball ok, but a little streaky from time to time. I usually will only take 3 of them throughout a game unless I make at least two of them. But that also depends largely on the situation. The best I have ever shot from 3 is 6 of 7, but 7 is also the most I have ever taken.

I use to wear a shooting sleeve when i was actually the only one in my whole league who wore them but now almost every team has one player who does
That is another thing of mine, I NEVER wear black socks or shoes, I can't stand them.
I never understood the whole shooting sleeve thing, but I suppose it is similar to knee highs. It was similar for me for a while with Knee Highs, I started wearing them before everyone else and then everyone started wearing them, but it has gone a bit back to normal again, especially with the fact that they are harder to find.

Haha, yeah I know, but when I am playing it is all second nature to me. Most of the time I don't even notice it.
That is some funny ish. I hate when KG does it and someone behind him hits both of his fists, it just looks stupid to me.
