What's your game?

Frankly to call the way I play basketball my "game" is probably stretching it. The way I ball is just that, no more and no less. I see myself as a jack-of-all-trades kind of player. If the team I play on are full of bangers, then I will make myself available for some outside jumpers and make the entry pass; if there are too many wannabe penetrators and jump-shooters (which is most often the case, dubbed the I wanna be like Mike effect), then I'll bang inside, box-out, and set body-slamming screens; if I play with a passer, then I'll move without the ball; if it's a well-balanced/out-of-my-league kind of game, I've got no qualms with being a facillitator, moving the ball around on the perimeter and hunt for my catches.

I can be a shorter, less athletic Elton Brand. I can also be a Marbury with less handle and speed. I can be a Stoko with no stroke, a Kobe with half of his first-step.

However, since I'm undeniably 5'8", I will have to become a better perimeter player. Improve my 3-pt shot from a triple-threat position will definitely help in that respect. One caught-off-guard dribble and you've got a 15-foot jumper or, if the lane presents itself, a layup. I will also have to improve my ball-handling, so that I will have the ability to always be in a triple-threat position. Wouldn't that be nice: regardless of where I am on the court, in which hand I have the ball, I will always have the ability to go left or right, pull-up, one-dribble and pull up, two dribbles and pull up, pass to any spot, or just take it to the house.
