    I've been told John Starks apparently because I am quite streaky and can get hot or cold. I can slash but my handles aren't great.

    I do the unnoticed things. A team first guy. I can win a game without taking a shot

    Obviously this is all past tense since I haven't regularly since 2008, but I was a pretty well rounded player.

    I'm kind of stumped, but maybe Antawn Jamison/james worthy.

    - Strength was working around the paint, either facing up or back to the basket (mostly because I was trying to copy everything Dream did, naturally).
    - good rebounder
    - good as at slicing to the basket from the perimeter off a couple of dribbles.
    - Not a great ball handler in the point guard sense but good enough to make my move and go.
    - I had a good outside shot but most points came from close in since I had to play center for our team since we were a small team with only a couple of us over 6 feet.
    - good at running in the open court

    Well in my prime I played in college for a short period of time. I was 6'5''-6'6" and about 200 lbs. Oddly I played point guard. The one everyone compared me to on and off the court was Rod Strickland. It is an odd comparison as I was a lot bigger than him. However, I could penetrate and finish very well. I was very quick with my first step, even could get around future NBA players I went against. Unfortunately I shot from the outside.... like Rod Strickland. I literally was 10% from 3's and about 50% from the line. It drove coaches crazy because I went to the line more than anyone else on the team but has a lot of 3 for 12 or 5 for 16 from the line games.

    Oddly after 30 I became a good 3 point shooter, playing in some higher rec leagues I got up to about 50% from 3's, but still couldn't hit free throws. I essentially turned into Danny Ferry after 30.... I lost a lot of speed and dropped racial slurs left and right. I went from 200 lbs to 240 lbs after I started lifting weights.

    Now I am a 6'5"-6'6" jobber. I can dunk, score inside, hit 3's and punch other players in the face and frustrate other players inside with my strength and foul mouth.

    A very very poor man's Ryan Bowen, like poorer than that; mix that with some quintessential Oliver Miller and that's me.

    I barely play anymore, but when I was 12 years old I did my best to emulate Bobby Hurley at Duke. Basically, try to get everyone involved. Focus on accurate, un-telegraphed passing. Not a great shooter, but could hit the 3 ball at a decent clip.

    Barkley. Not tall enough. No right to be playing as a forward. I'll still throw you to the ground though and put up a 3 pointer if I feel like it.

    Kostas Papanikolaou or Scola. I can make a left handed scoop shot layup over anyone. It's my bread and butter.

    Somewhere in the North East. Sorry, I would rather not be more specific. Hope you understand.
