Watching the 2013 play-offs vs. OKC and reminded of what an a-hole Fisher was and is, I just wanted to know who people would consider serious a-holes in league history. In random order: 1. Derek Fisher --> fake tough guy protected by the league not owning up to his b**** ways 2. Malone --> dirty, purposefully injure guys and worst of the Jazz ever 3. Stockton --> dirty and protected by the league 4. Matt Barnes --> fake tough guy who got exposed on plenty of occasions 5. Bruce Bowen --> outright dirty and worst is he didn't need it and league thought the world of him. Same as the Jazz' duo, just odd 6. Kirilenko --> always seemed like a smug mf with his flopping ways 7. Matt Harpring --> dirty 8. Westbrook --> his attitude and the way he talks he just seems like a total dick 9. Garnett --> call it passion all you want, the things he has said to players and the way he has acted with going on all fours as the lowest point, he is a dirty mf 10. Danny Ainge --> protected by the league, seen as the hard-nosed white boy but dirty as ****. His face is not trustworthy at all, just all fake smiles talking behind your back type of guy.
Since Pitino and Calipari both did some time in the NBA, I'd put them at the top of my list. Straight up dicks.
"always seemed like a smug mf" "dirty" "the way he talks he just seems like a total dick" "his face is not trustworthy at all, just all fake smiles talking behind your back type of guy." 10/10 analysis, would read again.
Ainge should be higher on the list: [YouTube]NN1gfT2IUuo[/YouTube] I'd throw in Kobe, Rick Barry, Kidd, Perkins, Rondo, etc.
Karl Malone Scottie Pippen Bill Laimbeer Matt Barnes Bruce Bowen Chris Paul Andrew Bynum Phil Jackson Pat Riley Kobe Bryant
Andrew Bynum seems to be a horrible human being. Didn't have the longevity to really establish a reign of terror though.
Not sure how you define a-hole but I'm going with (1) a real dick who holds utter contempt for others and finds ways to hurt them on the court, (2) refuses to fraternize with even his own teammates, and often throws them under the bus, (3) crosses the line and breaks the cardinal rule: don't fck with other players' wives. In other words, a real piece of ****. Rick Barry Derek Fisher Scottie Pippen Karl Malone John Stockton Bruce Bowen Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan Bill Laimbeer Kevin Garnett Rajon Rondo Banged teammates' wives... Tony Parker Jason Richardson Derek Fisher ... (I'm sure there's more)
