No offense but if you hate Antoine Walker there's something wrong with you. Walker is an NBA legend, If you ever saw his miraculous 4 point shots you would understand what I'm talking about.

As for Damon Jones...

He's another fantastic NBA player, he's like a Ghost Buster only instead of calling him when you need to get rid of ghosts you call him when you need a clutch shot.

I think that there is an agenda at work here. These are actually quite arbitrary as far as players (scrubs) are concerned.

I still don't understand how anybody can dislike Antoine Walker..he's brought us so many entertaining moments over the years, and he was actually an all-star caliber player for a few years..truly a legend..

Damon Jones is quite annoying, though. Guy gets a mohawk, wears this ridiculous red coat, and lavishes for all this attention when he's an absolute mediocre player.

He was never an all-star caliber player, he was an all-star. There is a difference . . . just ask Jamal Magloire.

How is Antoine Walker annoying? Damon Jones is definitely more annoying. Antoine Walker is funny. I don't know why people hate him.

I know..I wasn't sure of how many years Walker was good and didn't make the all-star team, so I put "caliber" in there..

As a player who always shot a high volume, never played much defense and whose only had a TS% over .500 (.505) once as a starter . . . I think it is safe to say he was never good. What he was was a player who played a lot of minutes and took a lot of shots leading to some 22/8/5 type seasons but even in those, he was a player who shot his team out of more games than he shot them into. He is basically a poor fat man's Allen Iverson.

It's too bad Antoine in his prime was light years of ahead of Damon Jones.. So much so that he wasn't considered a scrub back then.. Damon wins this hands down

Damon Jones is the coolest and clutchest scrub ever.

Wow, does anyone realize Toine was a 22/5/5 players for 5 years

Damon is the Soulja Boy of NBA Players, thinks hes the best but he really sucks. And for some reason, many people like him. Just like Soulja Boy.

i figure antoine walker is just a running gag at realgm

i want to stab damon jones with an ice pick everytime i see him, completely worthless who went from hanging onto the heat's coattails to now on lebrons coattails. and he's always at every single nba function there is and it makes me hate him even more. and then theres that stupid mohawk, im sorry if you have one of those you are a douchebag. and im sure he'll have some sort of broadcasting career when its over but he sucks

Yeah, Tonie's 22/8/5 makes Jamal Crawford look very efficient and modest with his shot.

Besides, I'm talking about right now. [And 'Toine is pretty busy with them' twinkies right now]
