What type of players and positions do you like?

[Leander]

I like power forwards, it is my favourite position. When I played basketball back in school I tried to play like power forwards... I couldn't dribble LOL but I was good at rebounding and blocking and had a good jumpshot.

I usually prefer players like Ben Wallace and a defensive style of play. Back in the 90s, my favourite players were Charles Oakley, Shawn Kemp, Karl Malone, Horace Grant...

I just love rebounding and blocking and do not like dribble-moves, crossover-stuff, slashing and taking shot after shot much. Therefore players like Iverson or Kobe Bryant are boring to me.

The best feeling when playing is not a lay-up, a crossover, a three-pointer...and I hate running and gunning...the best things are rebound-domination and blocked shots...from behind when someone drives to the basket, goes for the layup and you come from behind and swat away his shot.
I generally prefer defensive play, bone-crushsing defense, blocks, rebounds...the kind of defense the New York Knicks were once famous for.

I like all kinds of positions, but types of players I like (not necessarily players that I like): Vince Carter, Steve Nash, Chris Webber, Amare Stoudemire, LeBron James, and Ben Wallace

I guess that sums down to big, strong guys and finesse players

[Amphatoast]

i like big men who bring anther dimension to the game like dirk.

[Indy]

i like players that play for the pacers.

[cklitsie]

i like players that play for the pacers.

I was going to say exactly the same thing except Knicks instead of Pacers.

[Sac-1]

i like players that play for the pacers.

I was going to say exactly the same thing except Knicks instead of Pacers.

which is intersting because i was going to say the same thing about the kings except for Ostertag, The hell with him

[Indy]

the only player who played for the pacers that i had a real problem with was jalen rose.

i HATED that mutherfucker.

How can you not like Ostertag!!!

I am pretty much like Leander, I think defense first. I don't play PF nor do I ever plan on playing PF, but from time to time I will use some post-up moves if I can get myself into the paint.

I will take open jumpers extending out past the three point mark if, as I said earlier, I have an open shot.

When it comes to the types of players I like its good defenders that know they have four other players on the court with them.

Eg. Jason Kidd , Andrei Kirilenko, Tim Duncan etc.

Indy: out of curiousity, why did you hate Jalen Rose?

[ShivaSquad]

he raped him as a child

[j.23]

even though its not really a position, i dig the point forwards (lamar odom, grant hill, lebron james, KG) .. they can take you out in the perimeter but also do their work in the paint

[John WB]

My favorite players are Peja, Bibby, VC, T-Mac, Dirk, and Nash

they can all hit the 3 and some do other things very well ie Carter dunking, Nash passing..

[The GOAT]

Besides the Pacers...
PG's. Earl Boykins. Allen Iverson. Good dribbling, good passers (Iverson is now). I like the street influence, just not an all-street game like Rafer. And Boykins just because he's small.

Indy: out of curiousity, why did you hate Jalen Rose?

jalen was a cancer, he thought he was better then he really was, he took shots away from reggie, when reggie still had enough in him to average 22 or so points a game. he thought he was the guy that should take the shot down the stretch, and he forced a lot of shots. but the reason i hate him most of all is this. in game 7 of the eastern conference finals in 98 against the bulls, the pacers were in command of the game for most all of the first half and led 72-69 with less then 8 minutes remaining. jalen rose tried to take it in to his own hands to win the game and there are 3 shots he took that stick out in my memory as horrible shots that gave pippen the chance to bring the bulls back in to it. stupid jalen.

[J-Smoove]

i liked jalen.. on the bulls

i was pissed like shit that the bulls traded him away. amazingly, he was able to get a triple double when he was with us. he scored like 44 (or whatever his career high is) in a win over houston. i was like "FINALLY! WE HAVE SOMEONE GOOD!" maybe that was because brad miller was just average, ron artest wasn't really a beast, and ron mercer wasn't scoring that much anymore.

now that this year's proven to be good for us, im happy he's gone.. what can you say? i hopped on the kirk hinrich bandwagon

how can you not like Ostertag! he beats Mark Madison in a dance contest, just look at him!


on a smaller note sac1 sounds like jason-duncan with his posts

kirk hinrichs the shit. u kno who looks like him and has a similar game? jj redick

[Indy]

kirk hinrich is a better passer and slasher. also a better defender. redick may be a decent nba player, but i dont think hes got as good of an all around game as hinrich.

[jwill2]

fav players...
1. standstill shooters (mo pete, ray allen, korver...)
2. slashing SF/SGs (wade, kobe, lebron...)
3. speedsters (j-will, iverson...)

[MaD_hAND1e]

the title sounds extremely dodgy

[The GOAT]

too much porn mad hand1e

[patrixxx73]

I like the position of Point Guards; in the sense that they usually run the flow of the game like a traffic enforcer/court general... they possess great court vision, great ball-handling skills, good perimeter and 3-point shooting skills and of course, an excellent passer.

My favorite playmakers are : John Stockton, Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Jerry West, and Isaiah Thomas...

[XianeX]

I like players who are better-known for their defense but can also hit the J. Some of the players I model aspects of my game from are Trenton Hassell, Ron Artest, Speedy Claxton, Mike Dunleavy (yes, I'm aware he plays no defense but he's a smart player and often makes good decisions of where to rotate on defense) and Gary Payton.

[[Q]]

I've always wanted to be a PG like some of my favorite players growing up (Magic!!!, Gary Payton, Muggsy Bogues), but I could never handle the ball... I like a lot of the bigger PGs like Baron Davis & GP.

[Ataraxia]

Point Guards........without them whose gonna run the plays, bring the ball up court....... I love rebounding n playing defense.......mostly cause I have a terrible shot....
