LaMarcus Aldridge

Bio

People like to label. You're either this or that. But LaMarcus Aldridge is a big guy who isn't a fan of being just one thing. After all, his game has proven that he wants to be everything. He laughs at the notion that if you're 6-11 your HAVE to play slow and inside. Or that if you're 6' 11" and like to shoot, you MUST be soft. Because LaMarcus's 6 foot 11 inch game is anything but slow or soft. You need him to knock down a 15 foot jumper? He got you. Need a low post bucket at the end of the game? He can back down and serve up a hook shot over anyone in the league. Rebounds? Block shots? Consider them yours. That's because his game is made to order, so you can have it your way. So if someone wants to put him in a box – it better be a huge Texas sized one.
