Ray Allen. I always loved watching three point shooters. Peja used to be a favorite too. Korver/Curry are my favorite modern 3 point shooters

Right now? Cory Joseph.

One of only two Spurs who've show to play every night this season. He plays hard, runs the sets, isn't afraid of anyone, listens to the coaches. He's come a long way since the start of the last Playoffs.

All time: Tim Duncan.

Greatest player since Jordan imo, has brought so much success to my favourite team. One of the great teammates, leaders and winners of all time, and a guy who plays on both ends of the floor.

HM to D-Rob, Sean Elliott and TOSB Terry Porter.

Giannis because he's 1/2 of the Bucks' future, and when he's not being ignored by the retard guards of our team, he's something to watch. Guess it's a mix of hope for the franchise + unique game/potential.

Timmy D for MVP

All time? Jordan. Pretty obvious why I think. Pure poetry on the court. Did things that seemed impossible. Every game you knew you'd see one play where he did something incredible.

Current Mr. Tim Duncan. Tim came along right as I was transitioning from being a Jordan fan to a fan of the game and the league. And he came along right when I hit that stage in my life where I started to have the ability to really understand the concepts of the game and rooting for a team. I just loved how pure his game was. I would always try to catch Spurs games when they were on because of him, and is the reason I, and my little brother, are now Spurs fans, born in bred in California.

mj because he was incredible in every aspect.
lebron. used to hate him at first. especially when he was young. didn't watch much basketball before but thought he was only athletic then. the more i watched him, i realized he was talented and skilled.

Yeah same, tragedy the Knicks have stopped playing him after he received MVP chants after dropping 15 points in the 4th quarter (In a blowout loss). Acy is probs my favorite scrub of all time.

LeBron. His uniqueness as a basketball player. How he can do everything well on the basketball court, which includes defending 1-5. lol. His unselfishness and team play.

Unfair expectations were put upon him ever since he came into the league. He has faced unfair criticism and hate as a basketball player and a person. Was he a great person before? Probably not, but imagine if you had the abilities he has as a basketball player, you would be different as a person. However, he has grown into a great person, and that is not something a lot of people do.

He was criticized of being scared late in games, which was true. He let what other people said and thought about him affect him. But he overcame that. He failed in 2011 with a superstar and allstar because he was scared, but came back in 2012 and won with an all star and injured bosh. Then, won again in 2013 with no all stars. He won with 2 guys who did not complement him well, and also with a team with a very obvious flaw. That is something no one has ever done. He also overcame the refs in 2013 in the pacers and spurs series. Many people will never give him credit for all these things because of unfair hate and criticism. What he has accomplished is inspirational. :D

i really believe he is the best shooting guard in the league. His game is smooth and can defend at a high level. I stil am ttrying to figure some things out about this dude. Like how the hell does he manage to blow by more athletic players? He is a very smart player and takes advantage of the league's rules i guess. He is a hard worker. Compared to rookie year and second year, what a beast he became.

http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/863237klaythompson.jpg (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=863237klaythompson.jpg)

My ultimate favorite is Deron Williams. Still rooting for him even tho he is done. He always reminded me f my favorite Player of all time. Jason Kidd, I think that's why Kidd was also one of his favorite player. Deadliest crossover i've ever seen. When he is hot, there is nothing much the opposite player can do.

I don't mind remenicin'g about my marquette guy - Dwayne Wade

When I saw him play in my milwaukee - he was an undersized SF that had no problems playing in the tree's

Going to Miami - killed me , because if he would of dropped down about 10 spots my Bucks would of taken him.

Needless to say , for at least 3-5 years he carried Miami by him self on his back and got them to the playoffs.

Finally Shaq , ZO and Haslem allowed him to propel into the finals and won a title as well as MVP of the finals.
A few years later he claimed two more titles and is a lock for the HOF.

His driving prowls , defense , outlet passing , rebounding and post up play is what a true SG is all about.

In his prime , going against Kobe , I loved it when in a game of the week , he blocked Kobe from behind , and Kobe could not believe he was even blocked.
D-wade took it the other way and jammed it.

Milwaukee's crowd to this day gives him a warm welcome , because they feel he still belongs.

James Harden because he's on the Rockets and is their best player. Most fans may not like him but he has a boss game. I love watching him do the crossover and stepback.

Other guys I enjoy watching are Russell Westbrook, Steph Curry, D-Rose, John Wall, Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Dirk, Blake Griffin, and Lillard. I'm also starting to become a big fan of Andrew Wiggins.

-Beautiful J
-Clutch
-Humble
-Tough
-Leader

And all at such a young age! I think he could be one of the all time greats at the position when all is said and done.
Randy Wittman needs to let him chuck away from 3. Too many times he bounces inside the arc when he goes off a pick or a handoff. Why take a shot 5 feet closer if you could just shoot a 3?

01-20-2015, 12:50 PM
Dirk Nowitzki:

An absolute legend. Incredible work ethic. Best big man shooter of all time and one of the best shooters of all time. Become one of the best clutch performers in history. Just think on all the flaws this guy had from coming oversees, not knowing the language, being booed, bad defender, soft, etc. He overcome all of that and became an absolute legend. Great teammate, humble personality, and extremely loyal to his team.

HM: Tim Duncan
Steve Nash
Ray Allen
Kevin Garnett
Kobe Bryant

Probably All-Time goes to Duncan because of the insane consistency and excellency he's brought to both sides of the game for nearly 20 years. Through different play styles of his team and the ever-changing rules of the league, the old man still gets the job done and never makes a fuss about it.

Currently (even though he hasn't played a game yet) I'm going with Embiid, just because of what his potential means to my hometown team. Knock on wood, but on the chance that he realizes his full potential and has a (fingers crossed) healthy career he could really be something special that defines a new era of big men

#8 Kobe and LeBron James.

#8 Kobe because he wasn't a completely arrogant d*ck at the time and he actually played defense.

LeBron because he is an all round player. He excels at everything and that's the type of game I like to watch.

Out of current players: Vince Carter

I was reeled in by his dunking style and abilities the moment he stepped foot in the league. Actually, I think it was the double pump reverse against Indy that did it. Somehow just figured he was another "good" dunker when he came through UNC. Didn't realize he had it like that. Had a lot of fun tuning into highlight shows hoping to see a dunk performed in a way I'd never seen before.

Still enjoy Vince's dunks, the few times he's able to pull them off these days.

Also seems like an affable and well spoken guy who's truly familiar with the history of the dunk, so I respect that too.

rajon rondo.

i hated the lakers back when i was a kid, and when they knocked off the 2002 kings i cried and swore off basketball for a long time. i never truly followed it aside from an update from time to time, and i never cared to. that was, until the 2008 finals and i saw rajon rondo put on a show with his unbelievable passing and excellent defense. the way he handles the ball, sets his team up, is what true point-guard play is all about. i kinda wish he had tried to score more, but then again i never got tired of seeing him set up teammates.

rajon rondo made me fall in love with basketball all over again.
