What players get the least intimidated? 

Post#1 » by Farsi Man » Tue Apr 29, 2008 1:02 am

I don't mean clutch I mean what players aren't scared to push or talk trash and commit a hard foul or drive into 2 big guys when you know they're gonna hard foul you? Never flop, never back down.

Ron Artest-You don't F with this dude
Rasheed-He'll lay you on your butt if you talk trash to him and he won't back down from a fight
Zaza Pachulia-He stepped up to KG and wasn't intimidated

Seriously, what is intimidating about KG? I'd be more afraid of Pachulia

Kobe Bryant

KG isn't intense or intimidating, Sheed is intimidating. Daniel Gibson looks like he could knock a few dudes out.

Gibson looks like a little boy. Not to mention he always has that little smile on his face. He might be able to knock someone out, but he sure doesn't look like he would.

Kobe? that guy got punkd like five times by the likes of Reggie Miller and Chris Childs. thats embarrassing. if he doesn't get intimidated he should at least take the cake for the "fights like a bitch" award.

KG just talks.. I remember a playoff game a few seasons ago where Anthony Peeler got in his face, and KG backed down...

Al Horford would body him, KG needs to shut his mouth so he isn't injured.

Tough. I can't really select one player and say he has no intimidation; I don't think anyone's qualified to be named in this thread.

But prime Shaq imo, was the most intimidating player on the court, while he was never intimidated of others. Back in the day, no one dared to call him out neither on the court or off the court. Plus, even if I was 7'0'' with 260 lbs, I can't really imagine going against prime Shaq.

Ron Artest. He wont backed down from anyone. One example is during a Celtics/Kings game, the Celtics were talking **** in Arco and Artest didnt like that. So, when it was close to halftime, Artest headed to the Celtics Big 3 (and the whole bench) and wanted to "share" his opinions. After the game, he said that "they cant disrespect us like that especially at home". This shows great pride from Artest to the Kings/Arco...

Kobe? Give me a break. Dwyane Wade made him look like a fool a couple All-Star games ago. I think he stole the ball from him and blocked his shot then Kobe started laughing like weasel like it was nothing. Then he helps Wade off the floor and the look Wade gave was like "Who's this guy?" You guys HAD to have remembered that. I felt embarrassed for Kobe.

this is a difficult question..

intimidating? well like others have said..Kobe talks a lot and he acts tough, but he has gotten slapped around by multiple guys..so does he qualify?..KG as well, looks intimidating and talks a lot, but has backed down..

what does this mean though? a lot of guys just walk away, but will beat you with their game..does it mean they're intimidated if they don't talk back, but beat your team..or does it mean they just don't like getting involved in altercations?..

I immediately thought of Sheed when I saw this thread.
