I refuse to use a Souljah Boy popularized variation of the word.
But if your talking swagger, Wade has plenty of it.... just because of plays like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUn9UNIJGO4

Arenas in 06-07 I think? Maybe 05-06? There was a month where he hit 2 game winners(long a$$ 3's), and the first one he turned around before the shot went in and threw his hands in the air and walked away, and the second one he turned his back again before the shot went in and mean-mugged/strutted back across the court.

swag has become more played out than the phrase played out.
i agree with those who say gilbert arenas, what he did for washington for those 2 seasons when he was a complete force was amazing. hopefully he can get back to that status. he had that quote "my swag was phenomenal" which i will always remember.
why would brandon jennings have the most swag when he hasn't even played a game yet? that's reading way too much into the hype machine.

#1 Swagger has to go to Gilb0. Even when he is doing something incredibly wrong, it somehow looks great. Altho, I have to say, 09 offseason, offcourt swagger has to be Ronron.

:applause: :applause: :applause:
Not to mention telling the media that he was going to drop fifty on the coaches who cut him from the olympic team, then actually doing it to one of them. And scoring 60 in LA and talking **** with Kobe. And yelling "hibachi" after every shot. And yelling "quality shot" after Kobe said he had no conscience. And the grotto. And funding his own viral videos for his Adidas sneakers. And all the 30 footers he'll take for no reason but still make, even in the playoffs. The man is swagger personified.
That said, JR Smith, Kevin Garnett, Gerald Wallace, Ron Artest, and Paul Pierce are all pretty swagtastic. I'd say Mo Williams, too, but he looked pretty dumb after losing to the Magic last year.

Its Kobe and it isnt even close...Just the way he carrires himself is the definition of the played out term swag...
Exactly. Whoever says any other player other than Kobe is making an obvious, conscious effort at giving a non-obvious answer so as to differentiate themselves from the sheep. Little do they realize, they ARE they sheep by obliviously (that's a word) ignoring the obvious and trying to get cute and creative with their answers. Just like when people give a non-Jordan, Bird, Magic, or Kareem answer when answering who's the greatest of all time (I refuse to use that RETARDED acronym that's been in use for what, 8 years now?????? Didn't LL Cool J invent that term for his album? What's the story here?)
The phuck outta here....it's Kobe and it's not even close. He's OBVIOUSLY, clearly, hands down the most arrogant, smug, elitist acting player in the league. And that can be a good or bad thing (I personally don't like when Kobe acts that way, but whatever).
