Grabbing 2 rebounds doesnt make him the best big man sorry buddy but Curry is nothing more than a part time scorer.


My all time favourite player is Carmelo Anthony he changed the Denver Nuggets and will always be remembered by Nuggets fans.

My favorite of all time would have to be Michael Jordan, I grew up watching the Bulls but lost interest when he retired and the Bulls disappeared. When I got interest in basketball back, I loved Paul Pierce and Tracy McGrady. I followed the Detroit Pistons alot and liked Richard Hamilton. I also followed Carmelo when he was in HS and wasn't to happy about him playing in Denver because I never liked them, but he was still one of my favorites. Right now I still really like Carmelo and T-Mac. In college I my favorite player is no doubt Kevin Durant, but I like Jeff Green and Julian Wright as well. I liked Clyde Drexler and Scottie Pippen back in the day too.

EDIT: Wrote Carmelo instead of Durant...

There's a fine line between writing a comment and spamming. make sure it stays on topic please before this turns into spam fest 07.

Make sure your replies are relevant to the subject, not just basic responses that don't further develop the topic at hand. Otherwise it will be considered spamming, which is against the forum rules.

To get this back on topic:

Favourite player is Steve Nash. Play a bit of PG my self, and he is the player I wish to emulate the most. While weak at the defensive end, his silky passes, fine shooting form and control of the Suns offense is amazing. Wish he played for the Bucks, as having Nash set up CV, Redd and Bogut would be phenomenal to watch, sadly he doesn't.
