Top 5 least favorite NBA players

[95pro]

Why are people listing D-Wade?

He’s a douche. Sometimes he would lead with a knee like Karl Malone. Kobe was a douche too and wade broke his nose in an all star game. Like points AZ pointed out as well too.

 

[Phrazbit]

Yeah, Wade is not only a flopper of floppers, but he's had some really dirty plays.

His bizarre wrestling move that ended with Rondo dislocating his elbow was about as "intent to injure" dirty as you can find a star player doing... outside of Kobe or Karl Malone's elbows.

Interesting. He’s been one of my favorites.

Kobe "I scored 50 with an injured pinkie" Bryant
Mario "throat slash" Ellie
Manu "fish flop" Ginobli
Bob "hip check" Horry
Kenny "I'm not going to miss a shot" Smith

Anyone on the long list of career Suns killers which now includes Robert Sarver

Interesting. He’s been one of my favorites.

He started out that way for me too.

Why are people listing D-Wade?

Wouldn't be on my list but he's had some VERY dirty fouls over the years

Thought we were doing active players

 

[Western Font]

Morris twins here, too. Markieff #1 and Marcus #2.

#3 Eric "I Dont wanna be here" Bledsoe.

After that, I don't like Durant's petty defensiveness and LeBron's control-everything, responsible-for-nothing methods, but I don't really care enough to put them on a list.

Embiid gets honorable mention, but that's more a trash-talking nemesis thing. I hope to see Ayton get the better of him, but again, don't care so much about him on his own.

 

[95pro]

Interesting how some are taking it personal to list Suns players first.

 

[Western Font]

Well, this is an arbitrary list. I chose my main criteria as players who dumped on the Suns and/or their fans. Do I really think that much about the Morris twins and Bledsoe? Not really.

Speak for yourself. My list was definitive supported by years of scientific research utilizing the highly respected Calvin and Hobbes method.

By arbitrary, I of course meant “rigorously developed; judiciously applied.”

There’s some names that don’t need arguing on here!!

Kidd on Nets with sidekicks Kenyon Martin & Richard Jefferson
Isiah Thomas (Pistons), Rodman, Lambier
Artest
Kobe
Spreewell
Cassell
Horry
KG
Manu
Duncan (too boring for a superstar)

Current:
Curry & Green
Carmelo
Lonzo
Harden
Westbrook

 

[GatorAZ]

For me it's because he's been one of the dirtier players in the league for more than a decade now in addition to being one of the best floppers too. He's near the bottom of my dirty list and wouldn't even make my least favorite list at all if he weren't also such a ref baiting actor out there.

After doing some YouTubing on the matter he’s definitely taken some cheap shots. I think if you play that long and take that kind of beating given his attacking style of play you will lose it at times.

That's true and you could probably say the same thing about Kobe Bryant too. He wasn't a dirty player when he started either.

As for Wade, I would have excused his retaliations except he went further than that. And then you have the gross ref manipulation which as far as I'm concerned is just cheating. That puts him and Chris Paul and a few others on my list of least liked players.

I don't buy into that losing it is the problem, frustration over a bad game causing you to do something FAR dirtier than anything you've received isn't losing it. Artest would lose it because was flat out freaking crazy. I think a lot of these guys can dish it out but can't take it. Kobe loved talking trash, when he was getting outplayed and getting trash talked in return he would elbow guys. When Wade has a defender who is shutting him down he reacts by doing something dirty. If the kind of dirty plays Wade has given to other players were done to him it would be a headline, but Wade does it and it gets relatively swept under the rug. Dudes like Kobe and Malone were elbowing guys in the head, left and right (literally) and the league didn't step in and do something until they'd racked up too many victims to count, while is some scrub had done the same type of shot on them that player would have been instantly suspended and branded a thug.

Stars can get away with a lot of garbage. I really dislike Draymond Green and if Draymond Green was doing his act on a non-contender and/or as a bench player he would have racked up countless suspensions by now.

 

[Yuma]

Durant
Cousins
Curry
Green
Lebron

Durant is one of my all time favorites. I HATED Danny Ainge, until he became a Sun.

His Snake move took me from loving him to despising him! Same with Cousins

 

[Chris_Sanders]

All time John Starks. F that sucker punching bitch

All time John Starks. F that sucker punching bitch

Marion was never the same after Starks undercut him. And the NBA decided there was no intent despite clear video evidence that it was done on purpose. I've never understood nor forgiven them for that decision, it bothered me (bothers me) even more than the Boris/Amare suspensions.

Anyone who played or now plays for the spurs.
