    Defense and rebounding. Hustle to make up for lack of desired skill level. For a smaller guy, I can actually post up decently. I've also been known to not allow layups, Ron Artest style. :eek:

    If you came up to me(and I am the only one waiting) and asked who has next, I would say I do. You would proceed to ask me if you could run and I would say that I already have my team. :cool:

    I'd actually prefer someone else to describe what role I play...someone I've played with before, obviously. I'm curious.

    Hey buddy, you know your game. You're like a poor mans Jordan with more athleticism

    My best day ever was when I hit 18 shots in a row from at least 18 foot out. This was over the span of 2 games, and it got so ridiculous, that I was releasing my shots as I was catching them on the way up.

    I think I actually saw the rim catch on fire ala NBA Jam.

    So I am pretty much a Chase Budinger type (although I play some perimeter D)

    You're usually the best shooter on the court, but like most good ones you need to hit a few to get into a groove or else you might not get going. You can get up, and you're white. I don't know how that happened.

    You work better off curls because you usually look for your J more often than a path to the rim.

    Spot up 3pt shooter, and I usually defend the quickest player on the other team. I also set a lot of John Stockton-esque picks. Always box out my guy.

    I've gotten fairly proficient at those things, which is good since I'm a lousy dribbler and passer (and I'm 5'6). Kind of hard to stay on the court otherwise.

    That's a pretty astute description of CCR's game. +1 rep.....no way, stop trolling

    So I guess my own perception is fairly accurate. I was going to compare my game to Peja but with more athleticism.

    I've been likened to a poor man's Luther Head.

    I'm a midget Chuck Hayes without the rebounding. I'm a defensive stopper. I'm only 5'7" so everyone tries to post me up but few can get position because I weigh around 200 pounds and have a very low center of gravity. I also can move my feet pretty well from all the years of tennis so most smaller guys can't get around me especially if I hand check.

    I haven't played basketball in a few years but when I did I generally played point and shooting guard. I was a pretty good outside shooter and had some decent cutting skills but was streaky on offense. I also worked pretty hard on D and was good for a few steals a game.

    I'm dennis rodman with some offense.... I rebound like crazy and everyone usually gets mad that I keep somehow managing to get lots of offensive rebounds and putting them back in for easy points. I can shoot but dont shoot threes too much cause once i miss one, i stop shooting them. Instead I take advantage of bad defense and take it inside. My defense is average at best assuming my legs arent dead from horrible shin splints.

    With my silky smooth shot, amazing athleticism, ambidextrous shot selection, and four eye court vision; I'm always the best on the court. :cool:

    i think my best role is point forward (save the mcgrady jokes). really, i love posting up and making the pass to the cutter. unfortunately, i sometimes try to be too fancy. but it is my game. i love to pass than shoot. i'd say i'm a cross between Barkley and Chris Webber. i bang and play defense seriously.
