What professional players do you emulate your own game after?

Either you emulate said player in particular sport or you strive for your play to be like them. Obv everyone would want to be a Kobe or an Arod, but try and be realistic. basically what type of player are you?

for me

baksetball

Stephen Curry
Rajon Rondo


(Devin Harris would be my homer pick)

I also like any player who doesn't care about their personal stats and just about winning. love unselfish team players that help their team win. players that slide down before scoring a td to run out the clock, or give up that extra pass to a find a wide open player

and who play whether they are hurt or not.. and play with heart and without fear of their competition

this is the type of player i strive to be.

also players who are positive and try and inspire that confidence into their team.

these are all the things i try to do when on the field/court, and are essentials in being a success and winner

hate players who get down on their own teamates and have a big head thinking they are gods gift and take stupid unwarranted shots. then talk shit to their own teamates instead of trying to inspire then to play better. cancers to any team game
