Top Ten Biggest Douchebags in Basketball

Inspired by NQTC reader Top Ten Nominee, here are your ten biggest douchebags in the NBA today.  These are in no particular order.  There were far too many douchebags to truly appreciate all of them, but feel free to add anyone I missed in the comments.

Sasha Vujacic

Vujacic

This whiny, flopping, jabbering idiot pisses everyone off.  For everyone else on the list, if you are a teammate of theirs or fan of the team, you might be able to argue that the player is not a douche.  Vujacic, however, is hated by all.

James Posey

posey3_400_060620

It’s hard to argue that he hasn’t been an effective role player in his career, serving on two different championship squads.  That being said there was never a shady elbow or forearm that Posey didn’t want to hand out.  Also his goofy mouthguard and unearned swagger make me want to punch him in the face.

Ron Artest

Ron

He seems like an honest enough guy, but he is obviously completely nuts.  Be it fighting, rapping, or just generally being obnoxious, he definitely qualifies as a douche.  On the other hand, he’s a good guy to have on your team (unless he melts down of course).

Stephon Marbury

Steph

It’s debatable whether he could still be considered for this list in terms of being in basketball, but there’s no question that he is a huge douche.  Every team he has ever been on has either imploded or kicked him to the curb (or both).

Zach Randolph

Z-Bo

He solidified his douchebag status as a member of the famed Portland Jailblazers a few years back, but his antics continue to this day.  He is actually having a very productive year on the court in Memphis right now, but you know he’s itching to have the ball in his hands on every play.

Kevin Garnett

kg

I used to love this guy and there is a part of me that still does.  That being said his constant bitching and barking on and off the court has become intolerable.  Add on the fact that he blocks shots after the whistle and is an all-around jerk to most of his teammates, coaches, and opposing players and you’ve got yourself a bonafide douchebag.

Ricky Davis

davis

He purposely threw the ball off his own basket to try to get a rebound and get a triple-double.  Need any more be said?

Tracy McGrady

t1-mcgrady

Personality-wise he is not the worst, but what he has pulled on Houston the last couple of years is more than enough to put him on this list. Opting to have surgery last season so he could come back with just enough time to earn a new contract was a dick move to say the least, especially with Houston in contention at the time.

Andres Nocioni

Noce

I’m a Bulls fan so it pains me to put Noce on here.  I appreciated his hustle and effort every single play when he was here, but his douchiness is undeniable.  Flopping, complaining, and generally just looking like an idiot lands him on the list.

Kobe Bryant

Kobe

Kobe Bryant is a filthy basketball player.  He is also a selfish baby who pouts when he doesn’t get his way.  Personally I take his side in most of the spats he’s had (Kobe-Phil, Kobe-Shaq, etc), but that doesn’t change the fact that he pretty much sucks as a human being.

Uhhh…..where is Lebron? Unless you don’t consider immaturity a factor of douchie-ness. That kid needs to grow up and play to win, and not play to make his own image better. I am a HUGE cavs fan, always have been but “King” James needs to focus more on the game of basketball, and less on his dance moves and commercials. Just my opinion.

The one guy you are forgetting is Lebron James, he is perhaps the biggest douchebag/bitch/vagina.

Good thing you didn’t put any current T-Wolves players on this list or else you’d have to deal with another wave of angry Minnesota fans. In fact, I’m surprised that all of those ultra-sensitive Favre defenders didn’t also rip you a new one for including KG on this list.

Pretty complete list, I’d like to have an [dis]honorable mention:
- Tim Thomas. 3-point line to 3-point line is no way to play basketball.
- Erick[a] Dampier – is it a contract year? he is playing pretty well… but the other years?!?!?
- Jamal Magliore – make a career out of his one [asterick] All-Star appearance and making FULL use of his 6 fouls.
- Don Nelson – Leads the coaching division
- Anderson Varejao – love him if he is on your team, hated by 29 others
- Joaquim Noah – see Varejao, Anderson

I’m sure Top Ten Nominee is happy he “inspired” a post on douchebags. Anyway, I’ve always thought Anderson Varejao was a pretty big douche.

If he’s pissing off other players, especially the ones he is defending, it is because they can’t do sh*t when he’s on them, so if he pisses people off it’s a good thing and if he pisses off fans, then they are not Laker fans. And if he pisses off other fans on other teams then he is defending their players well! Ahaha! He is doing a good job if you hate on him. It’s a good thing. This is a compliment, however he is NOT hated by “all”…ahh, I think you have your facts wrong there, buddy! Go Sasha! Go Lakers!

Everyone hates Sasha? Wow that’s a pretty generic statement. Which poll is this from again? Oh yeah the “I don’t have anything better to do but create a top 10 most hated list” poll. Funny that I just watched a Lakers game right now and Sasha scored 11 points all without “whining or flopping”. While he did that, he also managed to enamore about 14,587 more women and impress 44,622 men all in about 20 minutes. Eat shit

Oh and PS – I hate to break it to you, but you can multiply those numbers I gave you and apply them to Kobe as well. Make sure to apply to formula to the 24th power.

Wow, the people at the Spike Website just admitted they’re Far Left Wingers with this list. Spike could have avoided being Biased with this list, but I noticed no liberals made the list. But apparently loving your country and believing in the virtues that the founding fathers stood for, is grounds for being a douchebag. Well then, if that’s the case, we should all be douchebags, and this country would be a better place. And Spike would hate us all. Good riddence.
