What players were/ are ballhogs ?

Like Kobe or Iverson in the Nba ?

Has to be a frontcourter since they get first shot at the rock.

Observing Matt's court, I see the front man ( esp. if dominant) plays way into the backcourt....almost like backcourt is an afterthought.

However I'm talking pros on a 180' court !

Who went after way too many balls that should be for the backman?

I can see it in amateur play, with a guy that will miss everything, so the much better frontman (and on a small court) hogs the ball so a shitty back guy can't screw it up.

But what pros ever did this ?

I'm sure an early games backcourter subbing in a late game would be timid when paired with guys like Egurbi, Joey, Boli, etc., and leave them too many rebotes.

So who is the HOG ?
