Be real here, which player do you realistically try to emulate, because you have the same mechanics/skills/play style?

For me it is Manu, mostly because as a drive/3/d shooting guard (sorry 3Ball), I think Manu is the best to try to be, also for his playmaking which is superb from sg position. I have balding hair too.

Realistically? I was like Vinnie Johnson.

I would start occasionally but was more comfortable coming off the bench so I could gauge the flow of the game a little better.

I was a little inconsistent but could take over scoring at times. Like if I had 20, 15 of them would be in one quarter. I was a pretty good passer tho

Huge NBA fan, but have to go with Vassilis Spanoulis, if time travel isn't allowed.

A friend of mine always said that I play like Dion Waiters, because I used to chuck the worst kind of shots while almost never pass the ball in pick-up games :D So my username is quite fitting ;-)

I play like Shaq.
Back to the basket, feel out guys and try to spin off them or create space for a hook or easy layup.
I am pretty big (6'5 220) so I can overpower alot of guys and most of my friends.

Who would I wanna be like?
Shit I dunno.
Hakeem seems like a pretty cool dude.
But really I wanna just be myself. No homo.

I'm like Vince carter. When 7'1 guys are in my way I just jump over them and dunk. It's fun.

I don't try to emulate anyone, cuz I'm not a fgt.

However, my offensive game probably most resembles Motiejunas, but mostly out of necessity.

I'm only 6'0", but I'm a hefty 230lbs. I play w/ a buncha smalls, I'm usually the tallest one out there. of our 15~20 core guys, a few are in the 5'10~11" area, but the majority are all sub 5'9". Hey, they're Mexicans, they can't help it.

Anyway, I say I'm like D-Mo b/c I WANT to just stand outside and shoot spot up 3's. But since I'm so big, I'm kinda forced to play inside (even though I hate it playing 5s b/c the spacing is terrible. 3v3 is where I shine inside lol). I do have some nice finesse post moves, like Montie, and I'm also left-handed.

If I had my choice, I'd just be a spot up shooter.

Defensively? Lebron James, but less athletic. Seriously, I'm a good interior and perimeter defender. I'm usually put on the opponent's best player, even if they're a perimeter player.

edit:
I will say, as much as it seems I'm stroking myself off on this post, I'm hardly ever in the top half of best players, when it's 5v5 at least. Those Mexicans are some ballers. Way better than me. I need to work on my burst speed and coordination (I get sloppy when I'm tired) and be more consistent w/ my shot (I said I LIKE to shoot 3's, not that I'm good at them...).
