Who are the COCKIEST players in the NBA?

Players who think they're all that.

Chris Paul is a pretty cocky individual. He gets my vote.

Lebron, Wade, Melo, Kobe, Billups, KG... they've all shown arrogance on the floor. They have also all shown brillance on the floor. Sometimes it works to their advantage. As a fan, you have to take the good with the bad.

Kobe by far. He's the only player who will hit a routine shot at a meaningless moment and start shaking his head and yapping to anyone within earshot as if he's the second coming of Christ. See: his sad display vs. Australia when, despite playing a mediocre game, he comes down and proceeds to dribble around for 14 seconds or so, getting cut off on numerous penetration attempts, before finally penetrating and hitting a simple reverse layup; he then kept nodding his head for about half an hour and was yapping incessantly...in the middle of the second quarter.

Deshawn Stevenson, Agent Zero, Mike James all think they're they best players in the NBA.

DeShawn Stevenson WINS this thread.

And Damon Jones is hilarious, so he can be as cocky as he wants.

Carmelo is pretty cocky and at times I feel like knocking out Dwight Howard the way he acts on the court. Sometime that guy thinks hes the greatest and he doesnt even know how to shoot, dribble, or drive. Damn hulk like body.
