I like players that have the quickness over big-guys and strength over little-guys advantage all the time. No matter what they are going to get off a good shot.

And a player who can create off the dribble is always fun to watch. Especially if that person is named Ray Allen.

I like big men who can hit outside shots... ala Dirk, KVH, LaFrentz etc... I also like pogo-stick types who block shots and are basically just a nuisance, Dalambert and soon to be Deng Gai. Also, I like anyone not named Tracy McGrady ala Bob Sura, Gilbert Arenas.

I like oversized athletes. Any player (athletic or not) thats oversized is frickin awesome.

think t-mac, marko jaric, shaun livingston, jonathan bender, J-SMOOVE, brent barry, dermarr johnson, rodney white, bob sura, hedo turkoglu, toni kukoc, TYSON CHANDLER, dunleavy, peja, LBJ, KG, dirk.

undersized ballers (like desmon mason, freddy, michael ruffin, etc) piss the shit outa me. but the speedy guys are just badass (EARL!!, AI)

i hate just about every spurs (except bones and horry)

i like players for who they are off the court. i could not give 2 shits about a players game if he is an ass(vince carter now tops my list for least liked). thats why i like lebron so much. the kid is doing all the right things, even if he did skip the dunk contest. the way i see the dunk contest is, anyone with a name has nothing to gain but can lose hype if they fail to win. now the young players have only popularity to gain so they will go out and do thier best to steal the spotlight and give us a good show(btw i hated how they let them try an unlimited amount of times to dunk if they kept missing). i hated iverson for the longest time but he has really started to grow on me simply cause of his heart.

(Y) Same with me. And that he's averaging 7 and a half assists per game now.

Type of players? Those ones who give their all in the court. Defensive players, those players that rebound, block shots, and give assists (Y) .
Position? SF and PF

I like the type of players who don't put up stats because stats are irrelevant.

I love shooting guards and good passing point guards... like guys who got a nice mid range jumper and friving and passing skills. Love Kobe! Like D Fish, Earl Boykins...

I like point guards and shooting guards. You don't need to height to be effective in those positions.

Anyone who's over 7 feet can be a center, that's why I hate it.
