OT: Who did you model your game after growing up?

[mauconnfan]

Allen Iverson

Guess you didn't like to practice huh james? LOL.....

"PRACTICE?...."

 

[AZHuskiePop]

Bob Cousy and Curly Neal.
I could dribble and pass behind my pass and spin the ball on my index finger.
It was the running up and down the court that kept me from greatness.
That 12 inch vertical didn't help either.

Paul Silas

Wilt Chamberlain

On or off the court?

 

[epark88]

Started off with Stevie Wonder, moved on to George Winston, then to David Gilmour, John Coltrane and Kirk Whalum.

Those cats could really play...

On or off the court?

With 10k+ you have no choice. So the answer is: Yes.

I remember the episode where the hot new teacher made a play for the guy. The ad in TV Guide said "Teacher Seduces Salami!"

Charles Barkley

 

[Scoe]

Rodman on the court of course, I couldn't shoot so I would concentrate on rebounding and playing D and having a ton of energy, and hard fouls. I have tried re-enacting the Kemba cross over and step back J to the best of my ability, who hasn't tried to reenact Kemba's crossing over Mcghee.

Dominique Wilkins

 

[scrappy2.0]

Ha ha. I used to use Dominique Wilkins too and throw in some Mark Jackson floaters. His move into the lane(DW) from the baseline at the Branford Q house was my patent. I'm 6 feet 200 pounds pretty thick and quick back then(hey that was a Clyde Frazier and I was able to turn the corner and get into the lane and use a lowered shoulder to either get to the hoop or use the floater-- had a very decent game for community center action when I was 18-19-20-21. Hey nice to have some memories at 3 am of 25 years ago.

At the Alumni courts with their 9'6" rims, everyone was Dominique or Michael. On real rims, I was more Frank Brickowski, and I probably had the hair too back in the day.

Still in off season mode. . . . . . . .

I know there will be a lot of MJs but for me as a guard, it was Walt Frazier (I'm dating myself). Partly because I was a Knick fan but he had a smooth jumper and was great on D. I spent countless days and nights emulating him.

Sam Jones and John Havlicek

 

[I Bleed Blue]

Brian Scalabrine. Except I'm Indian. I am Brown Mamba.

Yeah, so you're pictured as some Indians and other South Asians with orange-died hair. Not that there's anything wrong with that ...

# 4 Bobby Orr count?

 

[sparky]

Jerry West and Hal Greer ( for his jumper at the the foul line )
