    The art that Allen Iverson displays on the court is what I admire most about him. To me Allen's game is a art that he passionately displays every game he plays. The unorthodox style of his game, determination, crossover, fadeaway, aggression, fastbreak, and tightly worn Cornrows all describe a picture of Iverson's game that I admire. The basketball court is a canvas to me and I think thats why theses sigs and avators look so impressive, I mean not to take away form the signature and avator designers talent that thwy obviously have on here. But art is art, and all the big stars like Kobe, Shaquille Oneal', Lebron James, Dr. J, Wilt the Stilt, and D. Wade........, just to name a few; all portray an image of themselves on and off the court. This image is the same image that intises fans to be fans based on the diffrent aspects of that players paticular game that they enjoy to be portryed by there arstist.

    So whos your favorite player and what do you admire most about them?

    Kevin Garnett's focus and ability to bring his game every night. He never takes a minute off during a game or during practice. When hes on the bench you know hes thinking about he could do better when he gets back in the game. Also hes just a good guy. Read the Hoop article on him and you'll see. Legal guardian of his sister when he was 13, promising a neighborhood grandmother that when he makes it to the NBA he'll come back and take care of her and her grandson and keep him off the streets. He ended up adopting that kid. He is a genuine good guy.

    When Iverson decides to actually play, I admire his constant determination.

    My favourite player is LeBron James, I like his attitude a lot, I like his composure, I like that he doesn't get rattled no matter how much more pressure he shoulders every day, I like the way he just takes all these spotlights so casually and never forgets where he comes from, I pattern my game after his, I look up to him although he's 3 years younger than me, and of course i love his game, i admire LeBron James as one package

    It's the way KMart plays each and every night. It doesn't matter if they're up by 1 or 50. He'll still have the killer instinct. The passion that he brings to every game rubs on to his teammates.

    The class act that Desmond Mason is on and off the court. On the floor, he hustles, is tough, is unselfish and basically plays 100% for the team. Off the court, he does loads of work for charity and is basically an all round fantastic person. To me he is the model of what a professional sports person should be, a role model in every sense, and that's why I admire him.

    Hey, "InNetsweTrust" I know exactly what you are talking about with K-mart I admire his style also, I would love to see him come to Philly in the Offseason. Then we can both cheer for him.

    Supersonic I didn't know Desmond Mason participated in Charity events. I admire any player that gives back to the community after all that the community has done for there respected players. The Cowboys pretty cool. By the way why do they call him cowboy?

    Timmy-mvp-21 I admire how Tim can stay focused and humble through everything. Yep I think hes the silent assasin also. Score, get back on defense, hustle, leadership, determination, all describe timmy.

    Great replys everyone keep them coming.

    I admire Carlos Boozer because he is a pure old-fashioned play style powerforward, the only one that is in the league with his playstyle. And the old-fashioned playstyle, is nothing but hard work all the way... nothing beats victories made by hard work.
    Carlos Boozer is also a very kind man as I see him, all his tatoos is a symbol for things he appreciate in his life, family, the game, the nature, his team, you name it.
    He's a very sosial man, and a great player, that's why I admire him as much as I do, not just because of his game.

    My favorite player is Vince Carter.

    With all criticisms aside, he's still a great ball player. He's an amazing dunker (when his legs are healthy), a great scorer, and an underrated passer. But one thing I admire most about VC is the dedication he shows towards the raptors. Back when his contract was about to expire with the raps, he surprised us all and signed a six year contract with the team. I give him a lot of respect for his decision because I know that most superstars in his position would've left Canada in hopes of bigger and brighter things south of the border. Not Carter though, Raptor fans like myself give him a lot of credit for the committment he shows for our team.

    Ben Wallace - I like the patience he has shown and the hard work he has put in to get to where he is now. He is one of those guys that is just plain ole good for the game. He seems to stay humble, focused and team oriented which are rare values in professional sports today.

    Kobe Bryant's strive to be the best he can be, be better than the rest, if someone is giving 100 percent, he will give 110.

    The thing I like about Allen Iverson is the style that he play's, his heart, and explosion. And once het gets hot, its almost impssobile to stop him. We know he's up there with the great SG in the league such as Kobe and TMac. But no one ever compares him to either of those guys or even players like Pierce or Carter. Thats because he's playing in his own dimension. He's basically one of kind. He's dosent play like the traditional everyday SG, he's more of a point-shooting guard type of player. He seperates himself from all the other stars. Like everyone is always comparing TMac and Kobe, but there isnt anyone you can REALLY comapre AI with, he in his own little world.

    Jermaine O'Neal is my favourite player and heres why...

    He is SOO competitive..He has such heart and desire to win and to be recognised as one of the best....The way he plays his heart out on court even through his bad knees..He never stops working..Using his unlimited post moves and quickness to get to the basket...A long and athletic player..Who is strong enough and has the mental attitude to play PF And Center but he is quick enough to play SF..He is also clutch..And monster rebounder and MONSTER shot blocker..He is very underated and he gets no respect even though his team is doing the best in the league..And has the best record..He still gets no love..He is a very HARD worker and dominates..Does not make excuses and he's a real cool guy off court too...J.O neal is my role model and a brilliant basketball player..Such an underated player!

    Mehmet Okur is my favorite player right now, I admire his ability to learn and improve. Just to watch him this year, he's so much better than last year and he has improved in every aspect of his game. He is in position to get boards now, he gets blocks, he can be physical and get dunks. He's still learning, but I enjoy watching him learn. I like what the team is trying to do with him, getting him to use his size and strength. He has such a great desire to do well, he actually gets too upset when he is reprimanded. He only wants to do well, and when he has a big game the team has a big game, too.

    ^ I've been dissapointed with his whinning since Rasheed Came. But my favorite player is Big Ben. He just plays ball. Low salary, but he dont care. Just goes to work. Brings all the energy to the team.
