NBA players vote for their most feared opponent.

SI Players NBA Poll

Which opposing player scares you the most to play against?

Kobe Bryant, Lakers G...... 35%
Shaquille O'Neal, Suns C...... 12%
Kevin Garnett, Celtics F...... 6%
LeBron James, Cavs F...... 4%
Dwight Howard, Magic C...... 4%
Allen Iverson, Nuggets G...... 4%
Tim Duncan, Spurs F...... 4%
Steve Nash, Suns G...... 4%
Tracy McGrady, Rockets G...... 2%
Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks F...... 4%

[Based on a survey of 242 NBA Players]

FAST FACTS: Poll was completed before O'Neal was traded from the Heat to the Suns last week.... Bryant particularly unnerves forwards, who gave him more than 41% of their vote.... Among players 35 and older, 63% voted for Bryant, who led the league in points, field goals and field goal attempts this season, as well as the last two.

This is an expanded version of the NBA poll from the February 18, 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated.

what's so intimidating about T-mac?

[MagicFan3]

No surprise about Kobe... I'd think Artest would be up there.

The Lazy-Eye, really intimidates the hell out of the players, heck even Yao gets intimidated

[Hoops Pimp]

I am surprised LeBron is so low. That is crazy. I thought Kobe and LeBron would be 1 and 2 but it goes to show how people still fear Shaq even an old washed up Shaq.

lebron leads the league in scoring not kobe

[xstockholmsyndromex]

People are just afraid of Kobe's "unnatural" Jump shot!! They dont want to get their teeth knocked out or have to leave the game with a black eye.

Actually, I wouldve said Kobe as well. The guy is amazing....I hate him, but I respect his game.

kobe is a scary guy, i wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of his arm after a jump shot

That's is just about every non-Kobe/Lakers fan, it's ok.

[PaKwAn]

Artest should at least be there, who doesn't get intimidated with that guy. His big,strong and crazy

[TheKingOfVa360]

No Arenas on the list, it must of been a flawed poll.

If I was a NBA player Kobe would be number 1 and Dwight Howard number 2. Then KG and Shaq.

[The Notic]

lebron leads the league in scoring not kobe

total points, methinks.

[floppymoose]

fyi, 4% is what you would get just getting some love from your own teammates. I wouldn't pay any attention to the numbers after the top 3 spots.

Chokecitis ...maybe they're afraid they'll catch it?

[Griever24]

"Waits for HarlemHeat to insert rape joke Here"

I think Garnett should be higher but i can't blame people for choosing Kobe .. The guy cannot only make you look stupid on offense but he can harass, bother, and shut you down on Defense (when needed)

[nesta]

the whole toronto team probably voted for kobe
