I was inspired by a really bad possession in which Paul Pierce drove to the basket, and inexplicably threw up this wacko pass that ended up going out of bounds, off of a leaping teammate's hand. It made no sense to me. And I don't like Paul Pierce in general.
Who are your least favorite NBA Players?
Mine are Vince Carter, Paul Pierce, and Pau Gasol.

Alonzo Mourning
Kobe Bryant because he is the definition of a crybaby that got his way (see 2007 trade requests, demands)
Manu Ginobili the biggest flopper
Tony Parker for bangin MY wife

KG cos he's one of those macho guys everybody just shakes their head's at when he thinks he's being tough, Big Baby cos he looks like a big damn baby and acts like one too, Lamar Odom cos he's dirty but tries to act like an upstanding citizen, Sasha Vujacic cos he's a douche and the same goes for Luis Scola, Stephen Jackson cos he's a bad teammate and a roid monkey, and Amare Stoudemire cos he thinks he's way better than he actually is.

Totally agree with Luca on KG. He's jackass #1 to me, it just got worse during last season's playoffs and he was in street clothes on the bench yelling at refs and the Bulls players like he was making a difference. This season's finals is probably the one and only time I'll ever root for the Lakers. No way should KG, Pierce, Baby and the rest of the fuckheads (Allen is the only one on that team that isn't a jagoff) snag a 2nd ring.
I've always hated that hood rat contingent in the NBA to be honest, headlined by Iverson. Those guys that leave a blackeye on the league for thugging it up. They changed the game's culture for the bad imo. That shouldn't be directed at just the NBA though, it's a problem in all sports.
There's quite a few former Bulls that I just despise. Eddy Curry and Tyson Chandler for setting my franchise back about a decade. Tyrus Thomas for playing with million dollar ability and a 3 cent head. Jamal Crawford I never could stand. As my dad always says, "that fucking moron plays the game like he's in his driveway counting down from 3." I used to hate Marcus Fizer for wasting a draft pick but I think that hatred should be directed at Jerry Krause and Tim Floyd. Not his fault the Bulls took him about 40 picks early in that draft.

That's almost as if I wrote it myself. It sealed the deal on my hate for KG when he was screaming at DRose I think in street clothes. |

I did enjoy watching Ben Gordon stare down KG with his hand on his crotch after hitting a 3.

How is Corey Maggette not on people's lists? Dude touches the ball and only has one thing in mind: drive the basket and forget who else is on my team
KG even called him out for bein a ball hog

Antoine Walker, Karl Malone, Pau Gasol. Used to hate MJ when he was playing, since he always fucked some of the teams and guys I was rooting for.

He also used to fuck a lot of the women from the cities he would visit.

Shaq for being the biggest baby of all, and for not having the drive to become truly the most dominant to play the game. can you believe that a guy with his touch cannot learn to shoot FTs in 15 years, or was it just lack of practice & passion?
Steve Nash for winning 2 MVP awards when he doesnt even belong in the all first team.
Chris Whitney for making every 3 pointer in NBA Live (i believe 98 or 99)

Steve Nash for winning 2 MVP awards when he doesnt even belong in the all first team. Chris Whitney for making every 3 pointer in NBA Live (i believe 98 or 99) The free throw thing always baffled my mind. It's not difficult at all. There were a ton of guys who made every 3 pointer in NBA Live 98 and 99. I remember that they were almost always scrub PGs. I hated those games with a passion; yet I think they were the best NBA video games at the time... the NBA 2k series back then was awful... you push pass, and the ball goes all the way up to the roof of the arena. |

I've always preferred the 2k series over the live series. 2k was also really good back then, which is the reason it became a flagship franchise. A lot of the other NBA games would have claimed the title of Live's opponent, but only 2k was good enough at the time to keep on pushing. I hated the Live series cos it was like everyone had wheels on their shoes, so there was a lot of sliding from place to place, and not enough actual moving your feet.
I just barely played college ball, so that says a lot about how much basketball I've played in my life. The more realistic of the two is and always was the 2k series.
As for Shaq missing his free throws - I have a suggestion for y'all to understand what it's like for him. Lower a hoop until it's 3 feet from your actual height; lift a shitload of weights until it's very hard for you to gauge your power level, and then get a small ball, and try to hit a free throw. It will still be easier for you, than it is for Shaq, cos of the difference in size from a small ball to a big ball and the actual circumference of a hoop.
But, still, this is just my opinion, and I understand that Shaq has had a lot of time to hone his free throw skills, so there really is no excuse save for laziness.

I see your point about the power level and height. Now, I'm certainly not expecting Shaq to be as automatic as Ray Allen at the free throw line, but given his skill, I think 65-70% is doable. Once you figure out the amount of power over hundreds of shots, it ought to be a matter of repetition. |

Isaiah Thomas - not as much as a player but for the way he single handedly destroyed 2 franchises - Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks by being both a destructive and dumb GM for both franchises . Heck , he even got to coach one of them -Knicks  Lebron James - he hasn't won anything and yet he is considered the best player in the league? I believe that he is a good player but right now i think Kobe is the best player in the league followed by DWade .... Faves : Magic Johnson, Patrick Ewing , Larry Bird , Michael Jordan and Carmelo Anthony |
