honestly, Lambeer and those other guys were overt about it on the court...but deep down inside MJ was probably the biggest A-hole of all time.
Lol how has nobody mentioned Latrell Sprewell or Dennis Rodman. Sprewell CHOKED his coach in practice, Sprewell was just the biggest ass hat ever. He is genuinely a terrible human being. And then complained he had to get paid $3 million more on his $10 million contract to "feed his family". How about Gilbert Arenas & Javaris Crittenton? They pulled guns on one another in the locker room and Crittenton is in bars now for murder. Rodman was easily the biggest nutcase to ever step foot on an NBA court, maybe in all of sports. The list of Rodman incidents is endless: - kicked a camera man in the nuts - headbutted a referee - not verified, but I'd wager big money he was involved in more on-court fist fights than anyone ever in the league - once got so angry at a foul called against him he took the ball to midcourt, sat down on the ground and wouldn't let go I mean common, Rodman was the king of dirty, aggressive play and I'm sure just about any player from the 90s would agree. Lots of people far worse than Westbrook, Harpring, MJ, KG, Stockton, etc.
Totally forgot about Rondo, seems like a genuine ass. I am talking about guys who didn't just throw cheap shots, flop and all that, but were probably assholes of the court too. Garnett is the only exception, because I've seen him be a good human being (McHale's daughter passing) and plenty of people have said that. However, he's said so many things and acted in ways to demean people which is unprecedented in my opinion. A guy like Rodman might be a nutcase, but seen his HOF speech and how he was before he started to go crazy, it's obvious that he lost himself and tried to get attention. Doesn't seem like an ******* to me, just delusional and an attention w****. Some are my list are personal grudges like Harpring & Kirilenko, they might be great guys, but just hate them and their behaviour on the court.
Dude Rodman on the court was far and away worse than Harpring, Kirilenko combined. Just youtube Dennis Rodman fights. The dude was much more than an attention w****. Don't get me wrong, I like Rodman, one of the greatest rebounders ever, but for the purposes of this conversation how can you on one hand say you think Harpring and Kirilenko were assholes but Rodman not? Total contradiction.
LOL, almost half the OP list are Jazz players. Westbrook doesn't belong. When it's all and done, Daymond Green probably rank up there.
Karl Malone and John Stockton are in a league of their own IMO. The entire Utah Jazz franchise got away with their cheating and thuggish antics for years. Laimbeer is close to them. The Bad Boys were really bad too.
Sorry, but you are much more annoying than me, breh tbh, you have to be on there as well but I take the high road and won't mention you. And try to get to know your fellow posters BETTER instead of antagonizing and calling them out.
Watching Kobe trying to get some knee shots to Battier while they were on the ground always made me put Kobe a few levels below the truly top guys.
