Cool thread!! Here's mine...
Age - 29
Height - 5'9
Weight - 90kgs (but normally 80kgs)
Position - PG/SG
Play Style - a mixture of my favourite players growing up... Lot of studying of videotape and moves and Practising for hours a day for over 20+ years!! Have street ball handles like Allen Iverson... fade away jumpers like MJ & Kobe... Rebound and abuse refs like Rodman... Shoot 40%+ from 3point, and had a vertical jump of 42-44 inches up until 3 years ago!!!
Have been injured for over 2.5 years with injuries to both knees including Torn MCL/ACL, meniscus, and fractured kneecap!! The joys of being the little guy on court getting hit in mid air by bigger guys!!
Haha!!

Age - 21...+ 10, carry the 3.. 34!
Height - 5' 10"
Weight - 70kg, soaking wet with my shoes on.
Position - PG... Would love to play SG but can't shoot. Have noticed the older you get the more you rely on the shot though, so have years of practice..
Play Style - Dishing and driving. Love trying to find people open and setting others up.
Sounds like I don't go hard enough though, no injuries other than a jar to my thumb...it hurt, but I played right through that sucker.

This looks fun so may as well add
Age. Seriously old
Weight. Over
Height. Getting taller every day..at least my legs are cause my feet are getting harder to reach each day to put my shoes and socks on
Position. Somewhere in the crowd
Skills. Lining up for food and drinks, informing those on court how the game should be played,
I nominate myself as coach, although a dream team doesn't really need a coach but you need someone to get you your beers when you get subbed out.

Have you looked in the mirror this month? I think the cops would/should be keeping an eye on you, especially if you go anywhere near school grounds...

My new fav card
I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag - before his knees got wrecked (by the sounds of it), RhysJSolomon could ball!! If my memory serves me correct, he had a few tryouts with the GC Blaze and I've seen evidence that his jumper was near automatic!
As for me -
Age - 40
Weight - 80kg
Position - 1/2/3
Strengths - My best years are behind me but I still like to get out in transition and create shots for others. Glue guy.
Back in the Day - My game was a cross between Grant Hill and the creative scoring of Cedric Ceballos (when he played for the Lakers)

Age 29
Weight 90ish
Height 6foot
I grew up mimicking Tim hardaway's a game and had a mean crossover. Unfortunately a freak injury as a young'n took me out of comp basketball a Looong time ago and haven't stepped foot on a court in maybe 3 years. I'll be that guy at the bottom of the bench talking about 'what could have been'
I also give a mean high five and am not afraid to slap teammates on the arse.

Age 26
Weight 87kg
Height 6 foot
Position 2/3
Career highlights include-
* once being able to dunk (whilst losing the ball on the way up) and get my elbow into the rim
* getting ejected for punting the ball ala TMac-
* running down a guy on a break away layup and rejecting his shot ala Tayshaun Prince (only then for the trailing player to get an uncontested layup anyway....)
I have no knees either and still have a chronic back injury for stupidly chasing a lost ball out of bounds and injuring my back when I was 18.
Pros- Good ability to read the game and help defence
Cons- Everything else required to play the game of basketball

What the hell, I'll keep this thread alive and relive the glory days......
Age - Old enough to know better - let's just say 30 going on 40.....
Height - 6'2'
Weight - Unfortunately have cracked the ton - back in my prime balling days was 20 kgs lighter
Position - SF/PF/C - for some reason my teammates are always "vertically challenged"...
Play Style - I'd call myself a point forward, can run the offense from top of the key and can pass out of the post but shouldn't bring the ball up court as the only ankles I've broken are my own and any quickness I had left me years ago. Have a few low post moves - the legendary reliable 'Skiphook' but never get fed the ball so generally spread the court as a spot up shooter on the pick n roll or pick n pop - with 3 point range. Always guard the big guys on D down low and provide the help defense, can block the odd shot or two through good timing but these days definitely play below the rim (a result of old knees + kgs). Perhaps a modern day Anthony Mason type player?!
Claim to fame: Flattened my own teammate with a blind screen in transition - hah hah Oh and won a game with my one and only 4 point play! Remember it like yesterday! So I suppose you could say I was clutch so long as I don't mention the many other games I've managed to not come up with the goods.....

Interesting read! I'll throw in my 'tryout' ha.
Age: 23
Height: 6 foot 5
Position: C/PF.
Strengths: Box out rebounder, good shooter inside the key, some post moves.
Weaknesses: Dribbling and shooting anywhere outside the key.
Bit of a scrappy player, do give away a few too many fouls (usually end up with 4 or so)
Career highlight: U/18 State Championship waaaaay back in 2007! (yes in Tassie but still counts )
