ot: Favorite players

[B Calrissian]

Who are your top 3 favorite current players that do not or have not played for the Wolves?

I thought it would be nice to add a different thread to the mix with most of the existing ones being about the draft.

Being that I live in LA and sadly, the Lakers are now my third favorite team (behind MN and Boston), my list goes like this:

1. Kris Humpries (went to highschool with him)
2. Ronie Turiaf (he's actually really good now, and adds comedic value)
3. Sasha Vujacic (His self-procalimed nickname is "the machine." He aslo talks more smack on the court then anyone I've ever seen)

[dunkonu21]

1. Amir Johnson
2. Carmelo Anthony
3. Kobe or Manu

Well, I can tell you my LEAST favorite player:

Kobe Bryant

I'm not alone. Aside from Ron Artest, Kobe has the worst negative Q score of any NBA player.

[theGreatRC]

1. Gilbert Arenas
2. Dwight Howard
3. Caron Butler

[B Calrissian]

1- Allen Iverson
2- Larry Hughes
3- Andrei Kirilenko

I used to be a huge sixers fan when I was younger that is why I am a big fan of Iverson and Hughes. I like Ak because he can do so much on the court. It is fun to watch him play.

1. Tim Duncan
2.deron williams
3.Mike Miller

He also has the top 2nd highest fan base aside from Yao.

1). Shawn Marion
2). Anred Igudala
3). Joe Johnson

Yeah I live So Cal and I absolutely hate Kobe. About a week ago J.A. Adande had a clip in the LA Times asking numerous players around the League "Not including yourself, If you could see one player win a title, who would you like to see?" Most people said KG, some said Kidd, and Kobe said "If it isnt us, I dont care"

Now I understand the sentiment. But F*#% You Kobe, you dont deserve one. Im not mad he didnt say KG, he just came off like an arrogant prick.

But this isnt about Kobe

1.Baron Davis
2. Caron Butler
3. AI

[Gunny]

Does is have to be active players?

If so:
Caron Butler
Tracy McGrady
Paul Pierce

If not:
"Pistol" Pete Maravich
Bob Cousy
George "The Iceman" Gervin

[deeney0]

Alando Tucker
Devin Harris
Michael Finley


Oh- and among non-Badgers:
LeBron James
Chris Paul
Allen Iverson

With apologies to Dwight and Gilbert.

[karch34]

Good question. I guess I'd go with

1. Chris Paul
2. Carlos Boozer
3. Eddie Jones

[MN Die Hard]

Timmy D
Nash
D Wade

I guess I'm a sucker for the superstars, but also for the guys who go about their business professionally and without a lot of drama or unnecessary theatrics.

What about a coach? I've always liked Mo Cheeks ever since that episode a few years ago (in Portland I think) where a young girl was singing the Nat'l Anthem before a game. She was nervous as hell and got stuck at one point and couldnt remember the line. Dead silence in the arena. Cheeks walked over, put his arm around her and started singing. She picked up the line right away and finished it out with him. Very classy and pretty swift action to minimize the poor girl's embarrassment.

I need to Antwant Jamison to my list, remember when he won 6th man of the year? he went from a 22 PPG scorer and 82 game starter with Golden State to play with Dallas and average like 15 PPG with only like 5 or so starts the next season, all for the team to be succesful

true professional, if every player was like Jamison the NBA would be awsome! (I mean mentality by the way, not skillset)

[Wingman]

Dwayne Wade
Baron Davis
Kobe Bryant

[UNC4215]

Bosh
Lebron
Arenas

[Vindicater]

JAMISON again with a huge game today!
