As in copy the style?

It could be a mix of players.

At the court I try a lot to be like Steve Nash, looking for options to pass. However when I get hot, I use the Timmy shot for the bank, Manu's drive, Tony Parker's teardrop (rarely works for me I don't know why), and when I'm in the zone Ray Allen's shot.

At defense I'm more of like Bruce Bowen.

You, which NBA player are you on the court?

I usually only shoot when I'm open, like Ron Artest when he shoots. I'm more of a drive-first kind of player. I can't think of a player like that.

Ooh! Kyle Korver! Shoots them and shoots them well from long range but really isn't known for driving the ball through the lane at all..

@supersox - Ron Artest has a weird shot, its like his hands are pointing awkwardly toward the ring. Drive-first, ain't that like Tony Parker or Rajon Rondo?

@Nightwing - lmao, dont know if serious

@RSN - Korver has one of the sweetest shots in basketball, probably second to Ray Allen

I don't have as weird a shot as Ron. Actually, I'm mostly like Ron, since he posts up often.

I normally look to get open from mid range or for three. I'm more of a catch and shoot kind of player, so I guess I'm kind of like Ray Allen and/or any other player who looks to get open for the shot. When I play point, I usually drive first and look for anyone cutting into the paint or otherwise anyone whose open. Otherwise, I just lay it up. The only time I try and emulate Kobe is when I try a turn around jumper, although I think more of Jordan when I do that.

Actually I play like I'm Steve Nash (passing, free throws and lay ups) because i like to pass rather than throw it, but my shot is like Ray Allen's.

Surprising or not, Zydrunas Ilgaukus. He was a great player, with an awesome jumpshot. I started shooting like him, and I have been doing great.

On the court - acting like Howard (Rebound-Inside/Outside-Lowpost)
Gaming - Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett or Vince Carter and Dwight Howard
