Which player you base your game on?
I'm a point guard who's always looking to pass, and make the right play. I base my game on Steve Nash and Tony Parker.
I love Nash's ball handling ability, and im intrigued by Parker's speed and quickness, and his ability to score anytime he wants.
The only diffrence between me and Nash is that I don't shoot the way he does.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
Im a guard that likes shooting and slashing and passing probably comes last unless im in a bad condition. So i base my game on Kobe because of his moves like the turn around jumper and Manu Ginoblis quick slashing abilities

Re: Which player you base your game on?
I don't know. I'm more of a defensive minded player and I'm usually assigned to guard the opposition's best perimeter player.
Most of my points come on fastbreaks, though I'll make the occasional open jumper in half-court game.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
Anthony Randolph and Kevin Durant.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
I try to play like Chris Paul because he is always in control of the game. He gets his team involved and he could drop 50 if he needs to. I also like how he gets to the basket.
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
Kobe... But I play almost exactly like Ron Artest. I prefer to get my teammates involved butI can also score one on one (my handles are kind of weak tho and can lose the ball like him sometimes) and am a good post player and rebounder. My post moves are like Kobe's tho...

Re: Which player you base your game on?
I don't think that there's one single player I base my game on. Most players have extremes or something. They're so great at doing "x" but they can't do much of "y". Not saying I have no holes in my game. I have a lot, but then I'd rather take many dimensions of the game from various players rather than try to emulate or duplicate a single player's style.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
I don't really base my game on one player. The ones that immediately come to mind are Tim Duncan and Shaq. Even then I don't really "study" them. I do however, always watch players with their back to the basket when I watch an NBA game.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
Closest player right now for me is Stephen Curry.
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
I never really tried to imitate anyone's game... My shooting form was kind of modeled after Karl Malone's, weird enough.
I'd say I compare to Pierce/Turkoglu. Never the fastest/strongest, but I have a great mid range game, finish with contact, create my own shot. I'm also deadly from 3.
I don't like being the primary ball handler, because I feel like I need to pass all the time at PG... But I bring it up on occasion or if the PG is out.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
I need to work on my ball handling A LOT now too. Over the summer my handles were well on point but I slacked off and can barely dribble now.

Me too. Yesterday I went on a 2 1/4 mile walk, while dribbling and practicing my moves. My f*cking arms are killing me now. I haven't dribbled that much in a long ass time.

Iverson. I am a monster on the break. I am also pretty good with oops as well.

I hope you meant throwing alley oops. I don't remember the last time AI caught one.

:oldlol: Yes throwing. He has caught some in his career as well. It was either that or just a really bad pass and he caught and laid it up in mid-air.

who do you base your game on?
umm.. Imma Do me :pimp:
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
A mixture of Tony Parker's quickness, I try to shoot like Kobe, but I mainly play like G-Force with more quickness and less athletism
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
I watch and study how Eric Gordon shoots so effortlessly by using his lower body and base and I also study how easy he gets to the rim
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
I want to play like Gil or Tracy McGrady, but it's actually a lot closer to Antawn Jamison - threes, post ups, and finger rolls. I've been working really hard on getting a mid range game, though, and I always feel like Kobe or Paul Pierce any time I hit a fadeaway or a jumper off the dribble.
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
Kobe Cause I like to ISO a lot and i think they have made up a word for that , ballhog, lol.. but thank god kobe has change for the last 2 1/2 yrs.
I can't be a pg because I havn't mastered my left dribbling skill and i dribble the ball slow.. when we're running the fast break i always look down and dribble.
every time i try to execute an ISO play for myself , I call someone to hit me a screen and drive from the right side and spin/turn around like kobe.
like how he did against d-howard in the finals.
everytime im on the post i do it like shaq or kobe. i do the hook shot or shoot fadeaway.
i can read plays when my defense is set.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
dwyane wade. i like slashing in through people. i'm still working out building up some strength and confidence but once i do, i think i'll have a good combination to go with my relatively solid jump shooting.
DWade also has a sick sick crossover. i'm pretty damn fast but tend to bring the ball over right to left too quickly and turnover more often than acceptable. gotta work on my handles.
oh yea, another thing that mr. flash has on me: dunking. =D

Re: Which player you base your game on?
You tell me;
Im pass first.
As far as shooting, Im good from the FT line and in, still dont have much range. My main skill scoring-wise is using quickness and driving in.
I can make most passes, Ive worked on getting the ball to someone in the hardest situations.
I try to make sure off the ball Im moving around trying to get open or whatever needs to be done.
As far as defense I like trying to play the passing lanes, but its good as long as I stay in front of my man and hold him down. Im not a very good offball defender(one of my larger flaws in my game) but Im working on my defense in a whole.
Yeah, who is that like?
I try to base lots of things I do off of Steve Nash, and its funny this thread was made because I do wonder what some good players to analyze.
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
I'm some Tyrus Thomas's tenacity on rebounding, blocking, and post defense, mixed with Rip Hamilton's constant movement on offense, and RayRay's sweet stroke. Oh and Kobe's tenacious slashing too.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
Paul Pierce. Watched him since he was drafted in the NBA. Take and make 3s with confidence, mid-range jumpshots, short ones, all kinds of moves to get open, glide to the rim fling it off the glass and finish with contact. Get on a roll and take over games, play badly at first but not get down emotionally, then pick it up and win. Play non-flashy, underrated good hard defense bothering shots and getting deflections & steals. Be a good teammate and pass the ball, get everyone involved. Move well without the ball, talk on defense, compliment good plays. The one thing PP doesn't do much that I do, is post up and use pivot moves.
A basketball role model, it's "The Truth" :rockon:

Re: Which player you base your game on?
I don't base my game on an NBA player. I base it on the person I learned the game from, my cousin's. He learned from Chuck Hayes but physically we don't match up so the main thing from Chuck was the mentality.
I am compared to Tayshaun all the time although I'm playing point guard more and more so...

Re: Which player you base your game on?
You got lenght like Tayshaun?
I think that's a good thing for a PG.
-
Re: Which player you base your game on?
I like it in the post, so I have the sky hook.. but I base everything else off of Travis Outlaw kind of. Shoot jump shots, the fade away all the time, and try to jump high like him, heh.

Re: Which player you base your game on?
Although i don't necessarily base my game on anyone i like how chris pauls, steve nashs brandon jennings ricky rubios and john walls style of play and try to take a couple things from them(I'm a point guard)
