Most intimidating player in the NBA?

Who do you think is the most intimidating player in the league?

I'd have to say James Posey. When he steps on the floor, the opposing team just looks at each other thinking "watch out for him, guys." James is always doing something dirty. He's a great person who can shoot threes but face it he's dirty. He bangs people like when he hip checked kirk hinrich or clothes-lined luol deng.

LeBron because of his physical stature along with his on court abilities, Kobe because well hes Kobe and his reputation precedes him. I don't think many players "fear" or are "intimidated" by one another..With the exception of star struck rookies, I believe most NBA players have learned to shelve such feelings

Off the top of my head Ron Artest. KG doesn't belong in this discussion.

I remember reading a recent poll from NBA players. Kobe was #1.

I remember enjoying a lovely dinner with several NBA players saying that it was Popeye Jones.

Jason Maxiell deserves to be on that list, too.

from a skills perspective, obviously Kobe..

if it's from the general perspective, it's still Shaq, and it will be until he retires..

If Dale Davis were still active, he'd have to rank up there. All-time, it is probably Maurice Lucas.

Artest - because hes insane
Shaq - because of his size
Kobe - because of his skills
Jason Maxiell - because he eats babies
