Jeff, Ben, Hen & ZG went NUS on Sunday to play bball... Jeff said, his cousin & frens were there.. In e End, Jeff's cousin only played 2 matches, den went home.. Boo Boo.. We played quite well down there, passes were clicking well,fieldgoal % was high.. Genearlly, NUS pple play a less physical game than we play in Ntu.. N most of them were extremely well-mannered & polite.. Ntu pple becomes relatively babaric leh..Anyway, while crapping & waiting for jeff to arrive, Ben self-proclaimed he is Ronaldo~ hahaha.. So here i come up with comparisons..
Ben - Ronaldo:
Ben self-proclaimed dat he is Ronaldo & it's most suitable! Ronaldo was once the phenomenom , most feared striker in the world & helped Brazil to World Cup'02 victory with 8 goals in Japan. Ben's prime was his JC era. Though YJ fell @ the 1st round, Ben's talent weren't unnoticed & was called up to represent the Combined School Team. They won the National Under 18 Championship with Ben being the starting center of the team. He was also a member of the Ntu
bball team that won the IVP championship.. HOWEVER, similar to Ronaldo, there's obvious up-sizing of his body shape recently. His agility, fitness & athletism becomes a suspect. His shooting range dropped day by day & his free throw shooting rivals dat of SHAQ~ (0-8 against HCJC i tink) Can he still be a Dominating force he used to be through his career or slowly become a liability like Shaq to Miami?
Jeff - Totti:
Totti is obviously a classy performer, but he has not always delivered for Italy when it matters most. He self-distructed by spitting @ opponent & was banned for 3 matches, putting a premature end to his Euro'04. Same case for Jeff. He is obviously an excellent shooter & is oways a key scorer during friendly matches. It is most mystifying how his scoring talents went AWOL during IH. Famed n proven talent in homeground, yet an underperformer like Totti outside homeland. Last chance to prove himself during coming IH!!!
Henry-Zidane: 
Formed a formidable partnership with Ben since childhood. Outscored SRJC 12-0 during the 1st few min of a frendly. No longer uses his gung-ho style of defence, but still a Defensive master. Attacking instincts seems to have deserted him as we aged with his trademark taiko-ness a rarity now. Bears a resemblance to Zidane in terms of erm... =X (kidding la, close frens all know, dun mind k?) Has recently been working out along with jeff though, will we see the old-new henry again??
Finally ZG-Riquelme: 
A master on the ball, Riquelme has the ability to carve open defences with a killer pass or score from long range with ease. He was dumped by Barcelona because Rjjkard though he was too lazy & aint working hard enough for the team. Hahaha so all characteristics are quite similar to my playing style on the court. I handles the ball, but holds on to it too long @ times; I make creative through balls, but more oftenly blasts the ball to nowhere's land; I hit clutch shots @ times but shot too often most of the time; I'm slack on my marking of opponent n offers Zero team defence; & I stroll around when not in posession of the ball hahahaha, JUST like Riquelme!!
Okok, pals, any feedbacks??? or anymore nominees??
