The problem with too many options is that it’s hard to make an ultimate pick. If you’re planning to buy an MP3player, you’re surely faced with this dilemma. Try walking into a store and see if you aren’t dazzled with the choices before you. You know you want an MP3 player, but you don’t know what specific type you’re looking for.
You better get started somewhere, though, and the best place to begin is identifying your wants and needs. Are you looking for a durable and portable storage for all of your music files, or do you just want to have something to entertain you with your latest favorite hits while you’re working out in the gym or driving in your car? If you’re after storage, go for hard drive digital audio players. They may be physically large in size and rather bulky to carry around, but that’s just the tradeoff for the massive disk space they offer. If you’re just after quick entertainment, flash drive digital audio players are the best choice for you. They offer a much smaller memory, but they’re compact and light, making them easy to carry around anywhere.
What format do your current music files come in? If most of the songs you have are copied from CDs, transferring them to most types of MP3 players will not be a problem. However, if the songs are downloaded from the internet, they may come in a variety of formats. Make sure that the MP3 player you buy is compatible with the formats of those songs. Remember, nothing is more frustrating than buying something you can’t use!
How long do you plan to use your MP3 player at a given time? Can you see yourself letting it play for hours? On full charge, battery life can range from 10 to 50 hours, depending on the player. Even the rates of charging differ from one player to another-some charge pretty fast in comparison with the others. Determine how often you plan to use your MP3 player, and from there you can make a choice that best suits your needs.
Lastly, what extra features do you want your MP3 player to have? Sure, you’re buying one so you can play your music, but additional features are great to have as well. You can get an MP3 player with FM tuner, video/voice recorder, flash disk, or even a camera. After all, if you can get more bang for your buck, then why not go for it?

The Ultimate Pick n’ Roll 2 man team?
If you had your choice of having your ultimate 2 players running the classic basketball play (the pick n' roll)….who would be your ultimate 2….keep in mind Ideally you want a big man who is able to finish strong around the basket and still be able to step out to hit the 10-15 foot jump shot…..and you need a guard who has the quickness to penetrate and is also able to pull up for a 15-20 foot jump shot as well as getting the ball to the big man if he comes open as a result of this play…..so for you basketball minds and gurus….who would your ultimate 2 (any team any era any 2 players) be in pick 'n roll basketball?…

Dwyane Wade and Tim Duncan. Timmy can hit that 10-15 foot shot. Not only hit it but off the glass with style. He can finish strong with all his fundamental skills. And D-Wade is that quick guard who can penetrate with all his power and quickness at one time. And he is mastering that 15-20 ft jump shot. Those are my fav 2.

Being a Jazz fan, the easy answer is John & Karl. But if we can cross eras at all i'd have to take Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlin. Wilt easily would have his way in the paint, and can hit the jumpshot as would Magic. Both play solid on both sides of the court the whole game and would do whatever it takes to score…both on and off the court.
The only question would be if they could meld their games together, which I think they could.
Another fun pairing would be Micheal Jordan and Dr. J.
let's just have those four play it out and see who wins.

Stockton and Malone perfected the pick n' roll for years…but if I could choose two players to run the pick n' roll, it would be…Steve Nash and Tim Duncan.
Steve Nash is the best passer in the NBA and seems to have eyes in the back of his head. Duncan has great basketball intelligence with the ability to hit outside jumpers. If these two guys were paired together, this two man pick n' roll would be unstoppable.

That is easy: John Stockton and Karl Malone. They ran it for years, the opposing teams new it was coming and they still couldn't stop it.

Baron Davis - In terms of penetrating the defense and scoring or breaking up the defense to finding the open man, nobody gives the opposition defense as much nightmares as Baron Davis. I'd take Baron over classic point greats like Isiah Thomas, Kevin Johnson, John Stockton, and Tim Hardaway to current studs like Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams. Reason being Baron is muscularly built and he can use that (when driving or posting) to his advantage but yet, he also moves as quick and swift as a guy half his size. He is very flashy and can score as well as any shooting guard these days by using his basketball IQ and athletic acrobatic moves to outsmart the defense. Even though, he is always a threat to score but it is his passing abilities that have lead Golden State past the 1st round this year. It is always a show to watch when Baron is playing.
Kevin Garnett - Arguably the tallest and most well-rounded big men the league has ever seen. Can score inside with authority or step out to the top of a key and knock down the jumper. He has one of the best passing ability for a power forward his size and can find a cutting guard real easy thanks to his height advantage. Garnett can hurt you in so many ways by scoring inside or outside, passing, setting screens, pick-in-roll, fade aways, or alley oops. He's a very smart basketball player who can read situations before they happen so combining him with another smart player like Baron and this dynamic duo should dominate the competition.

Stockton and Malone are not only the perfect prototypes for their positions they spent their entire career running the pick and roll endlessly. Not only are they perfect for it in terms of their game's makeup - but they know each other and the pick and roll and it's myriad options without a flaw.
You have a fast, smart, offensively efficient, clever (and sort of dirty) guard with amazing floor vision, you have a nice passing, super strong, amazingly fast, monster of a scorer in karl malone. off the pick and roll he could either fade to the basket or pull up on you. they both had too many facets to their game and were too aware of how to use those effectively.
I can imagine Elgin Baylor would be great for the forward aspect, Nate Archibald with his speed and shot being good for the guard. No doubt cousy and russell could run an amazing one.
But there's really no way you can even consider anyone else. They are prototypes of what's perfect for their position and for that play - and they know it backwards and forward.

Magic Johnson and Yao Ming. Magic was one of the most aware players in the history of the game, possibly the best point guard ever. As for Yao, he almost exactly fufills the requirements in your question.

If I could pick just any 2 people from any time period i would say Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt Chamberlain dominates the inside and Jordan dominates inside and outside.
If I had to pick two that existed at the same time on the same team then i would say Karl Malone and John Stockton. I would have said Shaq and Kobe but they lacked the chemistry Malone and Stockton had.

Malone and Stockton. They got their team to the finals on that one play alone.
