Rashad - what other idiots played in the NBA

TDWOLVESFAN · Post #1 » by **TDWOLVESFAN** » Wed Feb 3, 2010 4:04 pm

Let's make a list of all the idiots that played not just for the Timberwolves but in the NBA. As tempting as it might seem - do not include NFL players - there isn't room.

Add a player to the list with a short explanation as to why you added them. I have listed a few:

1. JR Rider - Kicking a pregnant women, no alarm clock, homemade bong and stolen cellphones. He had similar behavior issues even after he was traded and picked up by better teams.

2. Stephon Marbury - When he said "mirror, mirror on the wall......." he evidently got the answer he liked.

3. Latrell Spreewell - I really didn't want him to get picked up by another team - but if he had, I was prepared to buy some lunchables and bring them to the arena for him when he played here. I saved $6-8.

You could probably put together a pretty talented starting line-up just from former Wolves dumbarses.

4. Ruben Patterson - attempted rape of his child's nanny...seems to qualify one as an idiot.

Antoine Walker for being fat and lazy and shooting and squandering his natural talent.

Qyntel Woods for staging dog fights at his house...and getting off with only community service rather than oh I don't know, say 2 years in federal prison.

Allen Iverson for not understanding that he is a shell of his former overrated self.

Wasn't there another Jason Williams that came out of Duke that essentially ended his career by crashing a motorcycle that he had never taken lessons on on how to drive it?

Note to self - don't name my kid Jason Williams.

After a Timberwolves loss, Christian Laettner famously went through the team locker room, pointing to each player's locker and saying "loser" at each one. The only non-loser? Himself.

Kobe Bryant. If you believe absolutely everything his high-priced lawyers and media spin doctors told you, he cheated on his wife and baby daughter. If you don't, he's a rapist of a 19-year old girl, and he has the #1 selling jersey in the NBA.

Stephen Jackson's praying gun tattoos qualify him in my book

Marco Jaric- The backwards jersey (meh)

Damon Stodamire- Once tried to bring pot through airport metal detectors.... it was wrapped in tin foil.

Shawn Kemp- Had more potential than any player I can recall (watch some of his old youtube videos), and the only thing he had more of than potential was illegitimate children.

Carmelo Anthony and his "snitches" video, and his "friend's" drugs?

Oh, and don't forget AC Green. Seriously, a virgin in the NBA? You gotta be a dumbarse.

Does anybody else remember when either FSN or KSTC did one of their "5 minutes with *insert name of Wolves player*" interviews with Jaric? Usually they're just done standing in a hallway, or sitting on a stool with a backdrop of some sort, but Jaric took them to a dimly lit half circle booth in some nice restaurant and gave the interview while nursing a glass of red wine.

Shawne Williams could also be added to the list, and the Birdman.

at least alot of that was jim o briens fault, and nobody ever looked into his knee injury..ive always followed walker, and he was on the rise until his knee injury..from there, he just seems to have dissolved..even when he lost the weight, got in shape, got some quickness back, he never got his entire game back, and never again showed any lift in the post\

what is stupid however, is squandering all your money away, and writing bad checks
