playing style

hmm.. me and my friends r trying to compare our playing style with nba players.. for example, this guy scuk at shooting, but drive well, we say he plays like devin harris... hm.. any of u have clue on who does this guy play like? he makes open shot pretty well.. mostly mid range tho, close to long range but not quite yet... anyone can think of any players that's similar to him? don care about position or any other aspects btw

Dwyane Wade

Well almost every player can make open midrange shots.

Yeah me and my friends do this too, but really you need to be more
specific, like can he dribble good, can he do good layups, bla bla blah.

Post it and then Ill let you know They compare me to Ray Allen WooHoo!

Dwyane Wade

Yeah, ofcourse. Before it was Michael Jordan, then it went to Kobe Bryant, now it's Dwyane Wade.

I play like Stan Podolak.

Well almost every player can make open midrange shots.

I can't. In fact, I can't hit a damn shot at all. I'm the Mark Pope of basketball.

well It'd also help to know how he defends, how athletic he is, how big he is, how he sees the floor (i.e. like a good PG or like a shoot first guy or like a Center (not at all))

Any skinny guard who loves attacking and shoots really well inside the three point line. Who? Skinny Josh Howard?

Yes but I dont think he'd fit into Josh Howard's style. Maybe Charlie Bell, Manu Ginobili, or Orien Green?

ok lets just say
he's a pure shooter i think...
quite skinny, avg height, above avg speed, avg defence(occassionally has amazing blk), avg dribble, not good at driving(so cant be wade lol), avg atheletism, above avg passing, makes most shot while open a bit inside the 3 point line. ya... anything else? lol

very good describtion ty lol i would say...either Josh Smith or yeah Josh Smith...

I'd like a comparison:

I'm more of a set shooter but I've got a decent jumpshot. I get double-teamed often due to my ability to drive inside or shoot the three. I can grab the rim but not dunk. I quite often hit circus shots, one of my trademarks. I can't hit a mid-range jumpshot for the most part even if I am open but it'll occassionally go in. My offensive and defensive awareness are pretty good, I cause a lot of deflections/steals and get a couple blocks in usually. I'm a decent rebounder but nothing special. My passing style is flashy and I've been known to dish out some nice passes. My dribbling skills are a little above average and I'm pretty good at splitting double teams. Quickness and Speed are probably my two most noticeable assets, three-point shooting right there, too.

Height: 6'0
Weight: 175 lbs.
Build: Semi-muscular

Hmm yes very nice Gilbert Arenas

I bet half of you don't even know Stan.

I'm a 6'3 version of Tyson Chandler. Bad hands, no offensive skills, can jump, run, block and rebound and is too weak/skinny to do anything consistently.

Space Jam

Now compare me :
I'm a ryhtm streaky player, so shooting is not my trademark. I jump preety high and get a lot of blocked shots. I get a lot of deflections too. My arms are long and i've got a preety good timing for blocking shots. I like using baby-hook shot which i hit quite often and is my most dangerous offensive weapon. I've got a lot of post moves as well. I can create shot of the dribble, but my ballhandling ability is not so great (I'd say it's a bit below average). I'm not the fastest player, but i'm very quick in changing directions and confusing the defensive player. My passing is above average, but because of my playing style (i don't like to dominate the ball) it can't be seen as often. Oh and I'm very skinny

Height: 6'4
Weight: 178.5 lbs.
Build: Skinny (a la Tayshuan Prince)

Hmm,i can play 4 positions,PG,SG,PF,C.I`m tall also 190 cm its like hmm 6`2 i think.I`m fast and i can dunk ( right now i can`t cause i have leg injury), i suppose i may say i play like KOBE ah better not.i think i play like Nowitzki or CWEBB,those guys are like hell yeah better than i ever can be but thats what i think.

How come you can play 1,2,4,5 positions but not the 3?

I play like Stan Podolak.

So you play 25 seconds and you're tired?

I'm not particularly great at anything, but i have a good all-round skill-set. I can defend with intensity, shoot the long ball, notice the smart pass oppurtunities, rebound, score decently, not an athletic freak but good.

Boris Diaw?

Dont compare yourselfs to professionals. Its an insult to there hard work

^That is not true.

We're not directly comparing ourselves with professionals and its not like we think we're on the level of those in the NBA, its just something for fun and more of a way to describe people's playing styles. Its just human nature for people to compare things.

I play like Adonal Foyle. All I do is set up picks well. I hope I can earn as much money as him by doing this.
