Your Favorite Players

[d11king]

Who are some of your favorite players that used to be or still are in the league? Whether they were some of your favorite players to watch, or it was the effort they brought forward making them a fan favorite for your squad?

Kobe (by default :/)
LeBron James
Rudy Gay
Paul Pierce
James Harden
Joakim Noah - HOW CAN YOU NOT!
Chris Paul
Russell Westbrook - My senior year in High School I went to UCLA to go play ball over the summer but some NBA players were there running a few games, maybe like 5-6 players were there and Russell, who was I believe a sophomore, but entering the draft, had this sequence where he got a rebound a went coast to coast, side stepped Trevor Ariza, and threw down some ridiculous two hander. Of the 15-20 of us who were there, there wasn't anyone who wasn't screaming. From that day forward, Westbrook has been one on my fav's.
Taj Gibson
Manu
Paul George
Matt Barnes
Jrue Holiday - I actually played against him and his brother in high school, it's funny cause Jrue played the 2-3. But we also had the barber, and I didn't know it was him until he came in (they rolled up in a bucket). When I found out he was going to be a Bruin, as much as I love USC, I had to follow his career.
Brandon Roy - His game is smooth; haven't seen him with the Wolves though
Nick Young

Too many players for a favorite players list??? Hah

I fear for people who actually enjoy watching Nick Young play basketball.

John Havlicek- Because he never stopped moving.

Oscar Robertson- Because of his fundamental yet powerhouse gameplan.

Lenny Wilkens- Because he was so smart and so smooth.

Dave DeBusschere- Because he was the finest defender to ever man the 4 spot.

Julius Erving- Because he was the best finisher of all time.

Earl Monroe- Because of his unmatched creativity.

Larry Bird- Because of his incredible anticipation.

Michael Jordan- Because he set the standard for two way brilliance.

Z-Bo, not overly physically talented, but I love his motor
Hakeem, watching him was like watching an artist paint his masterpiece, dude was living art
Shaq-still not sure how someone so massive could be so swift on their feet
Payton/Kemp Defense and ally oops alllll day
Vince Carter...greatest dunker ever
Pistol Pete wish he could have played longer!
Penny watching him drew me in as a fan, only thing that came close to his smoothness, was his shoes xD

Of all the players I missed out on watching, I think Pistol Pete and Drazen Petrovic would be at the top.
