    I consider my game a cross between Ben Wallace and Ron Artest. I hustle, rebound and play on the ball defense pretty well. I love playing down low in the paint. I'm pretty physical. I can also knock down the 3 every once in a while.

    Tierre Brown!

    In the NBA (against good players) I rarely do anything. Against the NBDL (crappy players) I tend to shine. MVP, biatch!:D

    Adrian Griffin, with the stamina of Shawn Bradley. I play physical defense, and work my a** off trying to deny my guy the ball. I box out like a mofo, so my guy never gets the board unless it's a long rebound, but I can't jump much so I don't get many either. Oh yeah, and I have the same durability - I have knee issues.

    I haven't played since I lost 20 pounds, so it could be a whole new ball game.

    I'm pretty much the SG version of Jason Kidd (meaning not as good of a floor leader, but a better shooter from long range).

    I use this comparison because I'm a great rebounder for a guard, I make great passes, and don't typically take a game over on my scoring - although it has happened before. I'm more likely to get a triple double then to get 35 points.

    Oh, and I play tight D, although there's one guy who is crazy quick at my college who can beat me quite a bit - but he's the exception.

    This is tough. I've always thought that the closest comparison was probably Doug Christie.

    Not a big scorer, but decent range, and finish well on the fast break. I've got good quickness, and I get plenty of steals. My ball handling looks a bit shaky, but I don't get picked very often, and I make good passes. Nothing outstanding, I don't have amazing court vision, but I usually make the right pass at the right time. I'm the guy who gets the toughest perimeter assignment when we play man, but my rugby-playing background means I'm not afraid to mix it up down low, and I come up with a few boards.

    Mark Jackson in his Pacer days used to annoy me because he did that gatorade "x-factor" thing whenever he scored.

    I'm like a Mike Bibby type myself. I'm a great 3 point shooter, pretty good passer, pretty good slasher. Unlike Bibby I rebound well and play solid defense.

    In the NBA my stats would be:
    17 points 6 assists 6 rebounds 2 turnovers 2 steals

    I would also have one year of:
    25 points 8 assists 8 rebounds 0 turnovers 5 steals....and win the MVP.

    I loved Jackson! Jackson + Reggie were my two favorite players aside from the obvious Jordan/Rockets players.

    I SOOO Wanted a 1994 Rockets vs Pacers series. :mad:

    Matt Maloney with better defense.

    I always liked playing post more when I was younger but I stopped growing so I had to take my game outside.

    ugh... i didn't really like the Pacers... but I mean we're of course all entitled to our own opinions.

    I didn't like Jackson's X thing, I didn't like Jalen Rose AT ALL... he had this attitude and was a huge whiner, Reggie Miller... also a big whiner. I liked Croshere back in the day though... haha, also dale and antonio davis... those people came to work everyday. Rik Smits too... I loved Rik Smits, when I had NBA Live 95, I'd make an all Rik Smits team.

    I've hated Rose ever since he shattered Elie's wrist on that dirty breakaway dunk foul when we played Denver in like 97ish.

    Mo Taylor-I am 6'6 and have a nice outside game. Occasionally I make a spectacular play and am usually good for about 10-15 pts a game. Unfortunately, just like Taylor I am also not a great rebounder at all and average defensively.

    I get called Dirk. Partly because of where I live, but we do have some similarities. Great shot, good driver, can play inside or out but prefer out, average passer, a little above average rebounder and I get a few steals and blocks.

    I have been know to choose when to play defense. Although maybe a little different from Dirk, I can shut down my man when needed. Although it tires my legs for offense and why would I want to do that.;)

    Deadly from the field (jump shots and 3-pointers).

    Loves to run circles around the competition and always push the ball up court in order to tire out defenses quickly, thanks to my amazing stamina. That's the only way I can ever take it to the hole... because basically I hate physical contact in the paint.

    Absolutely no defense. none. nada. zilch.

    Allan Houston maybe? Steve Nash? I dunno.
