Shawn Bradley is the most humbled* player of all time.

When I think of humility among NBA players I think of Billups, Ben Wallace, Yao Ming, Duncan, Nash, guys that play for more than their own personal legacies.

Brandon Roy is not humble, thats why he was so shocked and appalled when he didn't receive a max contract offer.

Shaq is the Rick James of the NBA.

Billups is not humble at all and the nuggets are my team.

I can clearly remember chauncey being with them pistons them being down 3-1 in the playoffs and him saying he didnt care or he wasnt worried, matter fact he did it like three years in a row

He would say we still the better team were gonna win lol

Tim Duncan, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant to name a few.

There are other humble players, but those three are probably the most well known humble guys in the NBA.

Oh my god, I almost forgot about Joe Johnson. I think he wins this. Dude never hot dogs or complains about calls EVER. Most guys in this thread usually have their moments of cockiness or temper tantrums, but JJ never has moments like that.

The case for Brandon Roy and Joe Johnson.


... during a bus ride in Phoenix last February after the All-Star Game when, fittingly, they were the only participants who didn't leave with an entourage or head to an after-party.

"After the game, everyone leaves with their entourage," Roy recalled. "And I'm the only dude leaving the game on the bus. Literally. Like, there's some assistants and some kids, and then me in the back.

"And then he walks on," Roy said of Johnson.

Both are image conscious, eschewing tattoos. Both believe that money should be saved rather than wasted on entourages and ostentatious amenities. And both would rather hang in the background than be in the spotlight.
