Who were your favourite players when growing up?

[Verse1]

Just thought this could be an interesting topic to see who every one idolised when they were growing up.

For me it was Zo, Kemp and MJ.

Zo was the first and only Centre i've ever enjoyed watching play, one of the most dominant Centres back in the days.

Kemp for his air time & nasty dunks

MJ..............what more can i say it was MJ

patrick ewing, john starks, charles oakley, anthony mason, derek harper.

 

[pennysdaman]

Anfernee Hardaway, pretty obvious....
Magic Johnson although it was at the end of career..
Shawn Kemp pretty much the same reason as Nick...

 

[BruzDB]

David Robinson, Clyde Drexler, Shawn Kemp, Penny Hardaway

im not lying when i say i didnt love watching him play, he was aaaaight, he was no pippen though!!!

i also liked clarence weatherspoon and haywood workman, i thought they were both top players, good to watch, did some decent stuff but never achieved superstardom, i think about going after all workmans cards but couldnt be stuffed!

and non knick players i enjoyed watching back in the day included robert pack, dana barros, glen rice, steve smith, chris mullin, walt williams, detlef schrempf and mahmoud abdul-rauf.

As a Nuggets fan it was Dikembe Mutombo.

I really like watching Hakeem play too. That Rockets and Knicks finals series was great.

 

[Matt26]

Penny, Kidd, Mashburn, Stackhouse, Hill......so many to choose from!

 

[GoldenBoy23]

started watching nba and playing basketball back in 2000,2001 VC's allstar dunk is crazy! every time he makes a dunk people goes crazy!

but the real player who caught my attention is Iverson making it to the 2001 nba finals w/ pure heart! Every kid that time is trying to make a killer crossover!

Reggie Miller Fo' the win!​

(Look at those 2 Sh*tcago duds can't do nuttin fo' nobody!)​

 

[33WING]

Can I please break out the video of Game 7 from the Semi's in 94.

On a more serious note he was one of my favourites that didn't play for the Knicks.
