A player that represents more than tradition of transition but can be found in the NBA vault and Lakers history books between the times the M.J’s of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan and then the 8 and 24’s of Kobe Bryant’s NBA rule. There went those old Showtime Laker jerseys that E.J wore, but we’re not talking about Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson here but the tricks of the trade of Eddie Jones. A Bball babe like Ruth, taking the rock and rolling with the attention so much that even this young English writer saw his number 6 purple and white trimmed gold jersey everywhere whilst travelling in Paris on a childhood Summer vacation…and this was before Tony Parker was even old enough to draft graduate. Between all of the strike outs and air balls however there was a guy stealing basketballs like Mike wanted to do bases. centre Vlade Divac make way for the kid, the Big Fella, Shaquille O’Neal and the next dynasty of domination in the post-Jordan league of epic eras. When Jordan was swinging between baseball bats and bunnies named Bugs you couldn’t even find Space Jam on your NBA Live 96 video game (you could find a certain someone on ‘Shootout ’97’ though) and a young Bean named Bryant was months away from being drafted by the Hollywood Lakers via a Charlotte Hornets trade that saw L.A. Sure Michael Jordan is the greatest of all-time and Kobe Bryant has been the best since and before King LeBron James NBA reign, but a former Heat and Laker was a star in South Beach’s Miami and California’s Los Angeles. Will be effective until there is no gas left in the tank due to his fundamentals and basketball IQ.Listen like thieves! Before Kobe and after Jordan there was an in excess, laundry list of swinging Shooting Guard and Small Forwards who where running the new era show of golden time basketball to become the next heir apparent in wing waiting. Decent rebounder, but tends to spend so much time contesting outside shots that he doesnt have much of a chance to grab rebounds inside. Will come up with some steals and well even get a hand on a shot from time to time. Stays very low and forces his man to give the ball up. Good enough foot quickness to still be very effective against some backups. Assist to turnover ratio has always been excellent.ĭefense: Tremendously sound defensive shooting guard that doesnt have the athleticism to be the elite lock down guy that he used to be. A former offensive star who has transitioned into a role player. Tends to want to get back on defense rather than crash the glass.

Almost never gets to the free throw line at this point. Doesnt do much off the dribble anymore, but can use it to get out of trouble. Good finisher when he gets the ball going towards the rim. Lets the defense collapse and gives his teammates and outlet when they drive. Shows a decent jumper, but doesnt try to take tough shots. Once known as one of the leagues best shooters, but has lost some touch as his legs have worn down. Offense: A team oriented offensive player who wont go into attack mode unless hes given space. High character player with a great work ethic, but has always been criticized for his inability to step up his game in the clutch. Is a leader off the floor, and leads by example on it.
Doesnt get phased by anything on the floor. Can still be effective due to his smarts and effort level. Was once one of the best defensive swingmen in the League. Played in two All-Star games during his illustrious career. Has clearly lost a step athletically, and has become mostly a spot-up shooter. Overview: A veteran shooting guard who is a role player at this point in his career.
