    Well, for me it's just a variety of defensive minded players.Ben Wallace / Bruce Bowen / Ron Artest are my tops.If I want to shut you down on offense, I will. That's what I'm known for when I play ball.

    When I was a kid growing up, I used to copy Kevin Johnson of the Suns all the time. He used his speed and quickness to get into the lane, which I always did. Maybe most important is that Kevin Johnson had good handles, but he never tried to do to much unnecessary stuff with the ball, and I did the same thing. I don't do all the fancy dribbling, unless it's called for.

    I like to emulate Mo Pete and Cuttino Mobley. an excellent outside shooter, but can also slash and hit the midrange. the thing is, I'm not that quick, so my game ends up being like wally szczerbiak's.

    When I'm playing with my friends for fun and stuff I try to copy T-Mac's shot. I do the little head fake, then jump and kick the leg up. But in competitive play, I play like myself.

    Maybe TJ ford or Chris Paul. Either way the key word is "try" I am too slow and fat.

    That's why he said trys to play like them, meaning he likes the way they play and wants to play like those two, but obvisouly doesn't have the skills they have.

    I try to play like Darko, when he was with Detroit. I win, and dont do nothing but take some credit for it non the less.I also try to play like the guy from the globetroters that can hit a half court hook shot. Well the only shot I can get off is a hook shot.
