What? So you don't play D, you jack up 3s, and you don't make them.
But you're guessing Jason Kapono, like dude isn't a three-point contest CHAMPION.
There is no one in the NBA that plays no D, jacks up 3s, and bricks their 3s.
does brian cook ring a bell?

Yall woofin when you say that you people said you play like so-and-so.
No one ever talks like that.
Nah, I here people make comparisons all the time.
Like, If your lightskinned w. Braids, you're Carmelo
If you're of asian descent...Regardless of hight...You're Yao Ming. Yes racist.

Oh, comparisons based on LOOKS? Bet that.
But based on game? "Son, you play just like Iverson, like exactly. Anyone ever told you that?'
That just never happens. I've played in hundreds of different gyms and playgrounds and parks with thousands of different people, and I can't remember ever hearing anyone talk about how someone plays just like some NBA player.
But yeah, "Who's this Shaun Livingston lookin' dude? Well, he makes 10, so let's shoot.' Something like that? Yeah, all the time.
On the topic of verbal comparisons, one of my proudest moments was a comparison. In '98, I was at this park in Texas visiting my grandma (rip), so I knew nobody. I just drove around and looked for a game somewhere, saw a bunch of people at this one court, and did the drill; you know, figure out who's got next, call next of no one else has, see if you can run next with whoever else has next.
So anyways, fast forward to me getting the ball midway between the elbow and the baseline this one time. I caught it, immediately spun towards the line like I was going to drive in diagonally, then pulled the dribble through my legs and backed up because my defender bit on the drive. But the tall guy (you know, the one that automatically plays center, because he's 9'14") stepped up to block my jumper... so I faded back, and hit it off the glass.
Long explanation, I know, but we all saw MJ do it countless times; basically a baseline fadeaway bank shot.
Someone... and I have no idea who, because I didn't know anyone to begin with, and I had my head down, running the other way anyway... said "I'll be effed if that wasn't some g.d. Jordan bullshh.'
I couldn't help but let out a grin, 'cause I was happy as hell someone would even say that, even just one time, even for just one play. Know what I mean?
