Brandon Roy has a little mans voice. It's really surprising.

Always thought Richard Jefferson had the girliest voice for an NBA player.

Tim Duncan sounds very flat and monotone, which is not unexpected. He also says "uh, uhm" a lot :lol:

Also, Monta Ellis sounds like a Mississippi pimp

Matt Barnes and Andre Miller. Don't know why I was surprised by Miller but he just doesn't sound how he looks.

For other sports I'd go with Adrian Peterson. The dude is the biggest monster in sports and has a girly voice.

Tim Duncan and David Robinson both. They're huge and they're black but they have high pitched voices.

Racist maybe, but black people generally have deeper, lower pitched voices.

Richard Jefferson for sure. I guess I never expected Pau Gasol to be that fluent in English, and I always thought it was funny that there is a slightly black accent in Jeremy Lin's voice.

There I listed a black guy white guy and asian guy no one can call me racist now.

Because it's so often said that he has a high "basketball iq." But he doesn't speak so fluently, so that's why you were surprised.

And to the guy above me, there is no such thing as a "black" accent.

Matt Barnes, from his act and fake "tough" guy montra during his nba career-I expected some deep sounding voice (the tatoos don't help either), but his voice is really high.

You know the NBA is slow when people making threads about how players sound.

Linas Kleiza...hardly any accent left over. Sounds like he picked up some speech mannerisms from his Denver years.

Primoz Brezec was a classic one, I wish I had video of some of the interviews he did during his Raptor years.

Roy/Iggy both have high pitched, somewhat "nerdy" sounding voices. Completely unexpected from guys that size.

Wow no one has mentioned Tyrus Thomas

I always see people calling him dumb. So I was expecting him to sound dumb in interviews. But he wasn't,so that shocked me a little.

Definitely Monta.

Yeah... he's gay.

Anyways I'm shocked Eric Gordon wasn't mentioned.

Sounds like a nerdy dwarf.
