i wish i could play like hakeem, but my game is zbo for real. all ground and pound. zero hops.
but my big advantage is that once i have the ball down low i can score pretty much at will as long as i'm not guarded by 6ft 5 nikka who's athletic.
i wish i was a little bit taller

I got the same issue. Injuries on both knees and surgery on one just killed my hops.i wish i could play like hakeem, but my game is zbo for real. all ground and pound. zero hops.

Are you 6'1" or under? I will score on you in the post.
Are you over 6'1" and know how to play defense? I will not score on you in the post.
I swear it's that definite, that one inch makes all the difference.
The good thing is that even after the surgeries I still stayed fast as hell though, so when a big guy did end up on me I could often take him outside and then drive past him.

Michael Jordan. 
Brandon Jennings but taller. Everything I do is lefty, we have similar moves, hes obviously more athletic and a better shooter though.
wasn't even thinking of him in my post in the OP

I'm Mavs Jason Kidd. I run point but just bring the rock up, wave and point to get folks to move, kick the ball to the wing then stand around till I get an open 3

I haven't played ball in years so I'm Kurt Rambis now.
I'll describe how I played as a kid and y'all can make the scouting report comparison;
-Started out in the post since on my middle school team I was one of the taller kids (we were small and I just started playing). I was 125-145 through middle and high school so this was all finesse.
-On the drive I went both left and right. I was never an ankle breaker but I got good enough to get there without getting ripped. Finished decently.
-Loved passing and was good at it.
-Decent shooter but contrary to most I hated corner 3's, give me the top or the wing. Better at catch-and-shoot.
-Took pride in defense and if I wasn't doing shyt else I was making cats work to score. I did most of my growing early but at 5'6-5'9" on a playground or gym class level I was in the middle as far as height so I'd guard any and everybody within 4-5 inches of me.
-In one of our games of 21 my boy and I were talking positions and I was thinking I was a 3/4 since I started out a 4/5 and improved my handle and passing but he told me I looked for my shot as if I were a guard. I took shots to keep the opposition honest but like I said I loved playmaking, I'd happy be 2nd or even 3rd in scoring if I had score-first cats on my team but when I said fukk it sometimes I surprised myself. My role depended on where I played; in my neighborhood I'd be the #1 option, at school or other playgrounds I took the backseat to the better scorer(s) and worked at everything else. If I started playing maybe 3 years earlier I'd probably have been a whole lot nicer and more inclined to score in general.
Who am I?
