Textbook.

Thats what I call him when he fades oh so effortlessly away and splashes the net.

Textbook.

Could that windmill against the hornets have been any cleaner?

Textbook.

What do you think?

I thought it would be a fitting name for the Bret Hart of Basketball; excellence in execution.

I like the ring "textbook" has actually, but I have to agree with
wutevahung that it sounds kind of rigid, or formal - kind of like saying
someone has good fundamentals, but that constitutes their style on the
court (like Tim Duncan as wutevahung pointed out).

I've liked "The Law" for awhile ever since a month or two ago.

On a whim... How about "The Puppetmaster" cuz he "puts defenders on
strings"
