I can't believe Zaza is on that list. He got in KG's face, knowing KG wouldn't do anything. NBA players have the girliest fights. And, if for some reason, KG did hit him, Zaza would be a hero in Atlanta for getting KG suspended.

Joeyoweee, not being intimidated isn't just about getting into it with somebody.. it also relates to offensive play on the inside.

I'd say guys like Ben Wallace, Ron Artest or Rasheed Wallace. Nobody is going to mess with them, not because they respect their game, but because they would fear for themselves.

Especially Ron Artest, I think many players are genuinely afraid of him. Not only is he physically intimidating but being such a nutcase, you don't know what could pass through his mind.

There is only one:

Sasha. "Machine". Vujacic.

I love how Sasha moves around on defense

With his hair flying around, doing his hand pokes, bumping, getting all up close at times

His overall body motion is really active, haha

And sometimes when somebody gets a little annoyed, he just doesn't react to it and keeps going.

I think if Amare didn't have calmer heads around him he'd have ripped Bowen in half on a couple of occasions...

Rasho should get a honorable mention. He always has this no-expression look on his face and isn't afraid to do a hard foul on anyone, not even on Dwight. And in last year's Euro Championship when Ronny Turiaf was getting hot he dislocated his shoulder and acted like it was nothing.

Deron Williams seems to look for the physical contact as the game gets more intense. He goes harder into the lane when he knows the punishment is coming, it's great to see him step up to the challenge, but you have to bite your lip every time hoping he doesn't get hurt.
