    (Almost) Every team has that one or two guys who really jazz up the crowd and provide a much needed spark off the bench.  I’m just asking, who is your favorite role player or role players? 

    Personally, I like Jared Dudley and Eddie House.  Both guys provide a bunch of energy, both knock down clutch shots, and both really pump their team and the home fans up. (they also have a knack for SHUTTING the road fans up)

    Lou Williams hands down tops the list of role players. He proves himself night in & night out, but his best fit for the NBA is to come off the bench to be that spark ala Jamal Crawford/J.R. Smith.

    Earl "Nacho" Watson- He is not going to drop twenty on anyone but he finds a way to score and plays great defense.

    does Landry Fields count as a role player? he does all the little things needed to win games. Rebounds, defends, does the hustle players, hits the open shot when called upon. Most teams would love to have him.

    Because he isn’t anything else but a role player, role players can still start, does that mean people like DeShawn Stevenson is more then a role player because he starts?

     Role Players can’t be Starters?
    People always talk about Shane Battier being a Great Role Player yet he’s started almost his whole Career

     Robert Horry is my all time Favorite Role Player. I’ve always had a soft place in my heart for Sasha Vujacic as well. He may suck, but man that guy hustles and provides some awesome comedic relief.

    I was only listing role players who came off the bench. My favorite starter role player is Dennis Rodman no questions asked, and Horry is second, and it isn’t even close.

    Anthony Mason was my favorite role player, specially when he was with the Knicks. I love it how he sometimes would play point-forward, I just thought it looked weird and funny because he moved so stiffly and unorthodox.

     Didn’t Moochie end going crazy. I remember the Knicks putting Mason as a pointforward as well. He was actually fairly efficient doing so.
