I saw tyrus thomas block shaq the other night. Needless to say..the guy is explosive....even though he only had like 2 points the whole game. All he needs to do is work on his offense and he'll soon become an allstar.

D-Wade, because it's really entertaining to see him burst past his defender.

T-Parker, not afraid to take it inside the paint.

Yao Ming. He just gives me the impression of being a really nice (and big...duh) guy. I don't know about you, but it's still odd for me to see a (decent) Chinese player in the NBA (Probably because of the abundance of African-Americans).

i love watching kobe bryant when he shares the ball, then in turn i love watching the lakers play as a team. i love watching tim duncan because of his fundamentals, not needing to be all fancy and flashy and still be successful.

Tony Parker. He attacks the paint without fear. Unlike a lot of guys scoring 20+ ppg, the majority of his points are actual layups & buckets against big guys, not free throws (Parker: 250 free throw points, Wade: 630).

Ben Wallace (even before Chicago). He's too short for his position, he's got no offensive game, and wasn't even considered for the draft. He spent his school days playing for a community college and a division II school. It's a great rags to riches story.

I really like watching Iverson, that little guy is running everywhere,doing some incredible moves and scoring in every position, and he plays each game like if it was his last one.Too bad the rest of his team isn't as good...

I love to watch Kobe , especially in the playoffs. Final second game winners , and then he screams to a pro-Lakers crowd at Staples Center...ESPN keeps showing that footage of him screaming at the crowd and it never gets old. (Y)

Gotta give a shout out to my man earl boykins, its amazing he can have success considering hes like 5' 5'' and goes up against 7' 6'' giants. Really shows off amazing work ethic and fundamentals. Its easy for huge guys to score and really not have to work hard off the court (hem...shaq), but to average 18.5 ppg last season and be that size takes serious work.

actually he averaged 12.6ppg

Being a short PG myself I know how much harder it is to simply get open, You have to work off screens and be very quick, because if theres a guy 5-6 inches taller than you he's gonna block your shot if you cant get a decent amount of space separating you and him.

LeBron, Dwight, and most of all the athletic players. I hate watching shooters though, I never like players who only shoot the three ball.
