Shoot, sir! That's also how I play. Icon passing all the way. I'm glad it's still there.

Yes. Players front in the post and lobs are thrown to them

Wow nice! Adds another dimension to the game. It's just that I haven't see them in the vids yet so I wasn't sure.

Thanks for the quick response and hope to see you post in this forum often!

Truth spoken. He grew up in the same town I did, same age. So do I got bias? Heck no my friend, Ricky had it all. (= Except consistency.

Im looking forward to running a break with GP then using the right stick passing to do a fancy behind the back or through the legs to a trailing Kemp for a complete mind numbing highlight.

I hope the control isnt clunky.. and yes I can picture the scenario right now.. only if I could somehow lob it like that as well

Am I too far into fantasy island Zach??

Yeah, I remember his Cavs days. I kind of like him there but he was traded Boston. He was a monster and dunks all over the place, throwing down alley oops with Bron and Darius Miles, etc.

And this was the last great thing I witnessed from Ricky Davis.
