Your Favourite Player (Past or Present) To Watch

[Fresh8]

Kobe.

Future: Melo and Rubio.

[Spree#8]

Past: Iverson, Sprewell, Webber, Olajuwon, Sheed Wallace.

Present: Nash, Durant, Iguodala, Rubio.

All of them are nothing compared to Spencer Hawes though. And I can't help getting excited about him getting paired up with Kwame Brown. Now THAT will be fun to watch.

Prime J-Rich was just straight up awesome to watch. Those dunks gave me boners.

[_Steve_]

Spreewell was really on of my favourites. Also liked Anthony Mason, John Starks and Clifford Robinson.

Present, Kobe (well even in his Shaq years), Kevin Durant, Rubio, Sefolosha.

In the past I love watching Jason Kidd (when he was with the Nets). Allen Iverson, Ray Allen, Bruce Bowen (his defense), Mike Bibby and Chris Webber and so is TMac.

lol, It's funny that you name off two superstars, one of the best up and coming point guards in the league and then Thabo Sefolosha. Thabo is so cringe worthy to watch. I can enjoy a solid defensive oriented role player myself, but it seems like an eternity since I've seen him make an uncontested jump shot.

I really enjoy watching defensive guys especially those who's contribution doesn't shows on their stats.

[Justine.]

Past: Kobe: No. 8 version, Iverson, McGrady, Garnett in T'Wolves, Duncan.

Present: CP3, Rose, Nash, Rondo, Durant, Griffin, T. Allen, Novak.

Oh yeah. Completely forgot about him. That Warriors team with him and Baron Davis was quite fun.

Forgot about T-Mac as well.

For me, it was The Doctor. He took it to another level with his high-flying dunks. Followed his entire ABA-NBA career. At the time, I lived only 5 minutes from the Nassau Coliseum, so I had the privilege of seeing him(and other ABA legends) in person. After so many playoff heartbreaks, I was so happy when Erving finally won in 1983.

some of my other favorites -
Bernard King
Walt Frazier
Magic Johnson
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Wilt Chamberlain
George Gervin
David Thompson
Hakeem Olajuwon
Patrick Ewing
Jerry West
Oscar Robertson
Allen Iverson

In the past and is my all-time favorite would be David Robinson.That guy was just great.I was in awe when I finally got to meet him.
And in the present,even though he is up there in age would be Tim Duncan.I would go for George the "Iceman" Gervin as number 2 for the past.

[The X]

Current players are Ricky Rubio, Steve Nash, Rajon Rondo & Brandon Roy (would've been in past list & may still be ).

Past players were Cedric Ceballos, Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel, Brian Grant, Vlade Divac, Chris Webber, Latrell Sprewell, Scottie Pippen, Shawn Kemp, John Wallace, Hakeem Olajuwon, Sam Cassell, Allan Houston, Jason Williams, John Stockton, Shandon Anderson & of course shadow's favourite, Sean Marks.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some past players. Much love to them.

[NovU]

It's obvious most superstars were and are fun to watch I guess. How about some love for 3rd or 4th tier players? I remember Blue Edwards and Lee Mayberry being fun to watch. And Anthony Peeler and Jeff Hornacek(I consider close to 2nd tier stars but...) also are worth mentioning.

[deihatein]

I forgot to mention Earl "Motherfucking" Boykins. Damn

[Jackal]

In that case; Robert Horry.

[Its_asdf]

Alvin Williams for me.... He had one of the sickest step back crossovers I've ever seen. Incredibly clutch player in the 4th quarter too, sometimes scoring almost all of his points then. It's a shame he was pretty god awful for most of the game lol.

[Killer Crossover aka OG]

Definitive Reggie Miller was my fav. Player in the 90s more the game(s) Indiana Pacers vs. New York Knicks

or Pacers vs. Bulls KillerMiller vs. MJ

Those guys who are both acrobatic aswell as creative in the moment, i.e. react quickly, are the guys i like to watch. So i like to watch all the typical guys like Jordan, LeBron, Kobe, D-Rose... but i also like watching the decision making of guys like Steve Nash and Chris Paul.

I'm not really impressed by dunks that much anymore. It seems like everyone can dunk. I'm more interested in the mental aspects of the game, where players like Chris Paul, Kobe, etc, thrive.

[The X]

I will also miss Manu Ginobili when he retires. He's a special, special player. First ballot HOF-er right there.

[Dc311]

First ballot HOF-er right there.

There is no doubt about that.

[Moz]

MJ is standard since I'm a 90's kid with Barkley, Olajuwon, Penny and later on Nets-era Kidd, Nash, and Raptors-era Carter. Though I only got to watch some 80's games thru youtube and somewhere else, I have this feeling that it's fun watching a game that involves both Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn in a regular basis. For this era, I like Griffin, Rondo, Rubio, Rose, and Noah

No doubt about that. He's Kobe The G.O.A.T. Bryant's favorite player.

'nuff said.

I'm still a big fan of dunks but in a way, I'd kind of agree with that. We've seen so many impressive dunks over the years that the bar has to be really high for it to be truly considered something special, and of course there are plenty of other aspects of the game that are just as impressive and fun to watch.

[Its_asdf]

I have it the worst. I started watching basketball when Vince Carter began playing on the Raptors, so I developed unrealistic expectations for most dunks.

this may come as a shock to some here but MJ was probably the player i most enjoyed watching so long as he was not playing the celtics. the guy was just amazing. loved watching the old jazz play too with that pick and roll from hell. the list of celtics i loved watching is pretty long but sadly i had to leave toine off of it

I guess I'm in the minority - I never enjoyed watching that mfer play, even if it wasn't against the Knicks. I respect Jordan's greatness, but I hated him more than Larry Bird & Reggie Miller combined.

[_Steve_]

If I were a Knicks fan I'd have hated MJ too. When he played at MSG he sometimes seemed even more motivated.
I have to agree on watching Stockalone and the Jazz. I really hated them in the '90ies. But having watched the '97 & '98 finals I have to admit, they were just great.
Also watched the '88 All Star game - my favourite All Star game ever - including the dunk contest and the 3pt shootout. Young Malone and Ewing without knee problems together with MJ going nut for 40 pts, just awesome!
