Favourite Player

Mon Sep 08, 2003 9:48 am

Hey...ho out there actually like Bench Players as opposed to NBA All-stars and that?? Is it human nature to like a great player who plays real well night in, night out no matter how long ago they played (eg. MJ, Magic, Larry Bird, Kobe, T-mac,Shaq, AI,Kidd,etc. and tim duncan, KG, Pierce,etc) or do some ppl out there idolise any ok bench players or role players???

I just wanted to see cause I like T-Lue and D-Fish and they ain't awesome...they're all right...but I also like Kobe...

MJ is my all-time favourite, but I'd have to say KG is my favourite active player.

Is it human nature to like a great player who plays real well night in, night out no matter how long ago they played (eg. MJ, Magic, Larry Bird, Kobe, T-mac,Shaq, AI,Kidd,etc. and tim duncan, KG, Pierce,etc) or do some ppl out there idolise any ok bench players or role players???


It's not unusual to admire players who aren't considered superstars. They may be your favourite player because a certain aspect of their game (eg their athletic/dunking ability) is appealing to you. Your reasons for calling a player your favourite are your own.

However, if your favourite player happens to be a seldom-used benchwarmer, you might have a little trouble convincing others that he's a great player. :wink:

I'm sure they exist. It's not uncommon for benchwarmers to gain some popularity and a fan following.
