The 50 Dirtiest Players in NBA History

[Manute for Ever!]

These here are the bad boys, folks. Every sport has them. These are the ones that put winning so high on their list of priorities, they disregard ethical decency to attain it.
These are the guys that you hate when they are on a different team but absolutely adore when they are on your own. Whether it be constant elbows being thrown or simply a propensity to flop, these players work on the line separating lawful play from illegal venture.
You will find that there are two types of dirty athletes. There are those that are acting out of frustration and those that are trying to get an edge. All the while, these guys have added a huge dose of character to our beloved game.

50. Christian Laettner
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-DSk2dwUb04/TGcxdZFGbXI/AAAAAAAACSI/uspismW2fNY/s1600/christian-laettner-leg-stretch.jpg
It seems that the NBA's top defenders fill out this list. It is fitting. In a league that is geared towards scoring, a defender sometimes has to bend the rules to make it a level playing field.
But I cannot disregard Laettner's ability to hold a grudge as he did in this video: Laettner admits stomping Timberlake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AwYVTB2rZw&feature=player_embedded)

49. Robert Horry
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/202/499088422_e6c8e724af_o.jpg
As you can see, there is an obvious transition in the NBA. What were considered hard fouls a decade ago are now considered cheap shots.
Robert Horry is an older player that knows you sometimes have to deliver a message along with a foul. Is this dirty? Yes. Is it necessary? Extremely.
Horry delivers a cheap shot on David West (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs9Fkf8gmhM&feature=player_embedded)

48. Gary Payton
http://ballerwives.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/gary-payton-nba.jpg
You didn't think the greatest thief in the NBA would be here?
Gary Payton was a member of nine All-Defensive first teams. You don't get there without cracking some eggs. Or at the very least grabbing some jerseys and arms.

47. Vlade Divac
http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/1365/113305400821758c6dbli1.jpg
Right off the bat, I want you, the reader, to understand that I feel flopping is a dirty tactic. It is a lazy way around the rules. Sure there is contact, but selling it to make it look like there was a foul is deplorable.
I liked Vlade Divac when he was on my Lakers in the '90s. But the one thing I could never stand was that he was constantly on the floor. That is no way to get an advantage.
Vlade was the best at it.

46. Anthony Mason
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hf-KehC6lLc/TLoEv0rs8oI/AAAAAAAAAHw/SkXX9-FUFPI/s400/tony+mason.jpg
Anthony Mason was a bit undersized to play power forward in the NBA. His brawn and physical strength made up for that fact. Mason played hard and physical.
When he had to defend the bigger players of the league, he was known to give a little extra. Shoves in the back and tugs of the shirt were a natural occurrence of the day.
Mason is one player that played so physically, it was hard to determine if he was dirty or just extremely active.

45. Latrell Sprewell
http://www.tukonsito.com/home/images/stories/latrell%20sprewell1.jpg
Latrell was a tough defender that would not back down from any fight. But I have to include him here for the utter lack of disrespect he showed to the his coach and this fine league, when in 1997, he choked P.J. Carlesimo.
During a Warriors practice, Sprewell felt he was getting criticized too much. Some would call this getting coached. Either way, he choked his coach to the ground.
No, he wasn't kicked out of the NBA. Are you crazy? He went on to make millions.

44. Jeff Ruland
http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/gallery/100619/GAL-10Jun19-4926/media/PHO-10Jun19-233075.jpg
Jeff Ruland was not supposed to be a starting center in the NBA. He was always out there trying to prove his critics wrong. This may be why he played the way he did.
Ruland was a tough burden for opponents to deal with down low. He liked to take chip shots and would elbow or shove defenders to get that shot going.
He was also a beast to handle defensively. He was always a degree or two away from full-on groping

43. Reggie Miller
http://www.basketball.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/reggie-miller-choke.jpg
Reggie Miller was an '80s-type player playing in the '90s. He would throw elbows when the refs were conveniently not looking.
But what I recall him being the best at was creating open space to shoot the ball with his arm. What Kobe Bryant has become very adept at, Miller started.
I would also like to mention that Cheryl's little brother could run his mouth trash-talking as well.

42. Dikembe Mutombo
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tZ36r7BfVOA/SdmTVdGXzNI/AAAAAAAAAIs/owMrbvs_03E/s400/dikembe+2.jpg
Dikembe Mutombo is truly one of the nicest and most charitable players in NBA history. But when he was on the low block, players had to watch for a multitude of elbows (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1015323/index.htm).
There was many a nose that went there to die.

41. Manu Ginobili
http://www.tigerpony.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/manu_article_large.jpg
Manu Ginobili plays to the beat of his own drum. On defense, he is a complete handful. He has hands everywhere. He reaches and prods, and at some point, the viewer has to ask, wasn't there a foul there?
Sometimes.
But Manu Ginobili really shines in the art of flopping. He is the new dominant flopper. Don't go near him or he will crumble under your presence.

Repped. :roll: Manute just wasted his time linking all the text and numbering it.

[Patrick Chewing]

Oh damn wait till he gets to Xavier McDaniels' pic

[BlueandGold]

bowen, rodman and ben wallace have to be in the top10... pretty much any DPOY is on this list.

[G.O.A.T]

I'm sorry but I'd much rather see it listed out the way Manute has done it.

If it's just the link I probably ignore it and people will only focus on the player they wanted to talk about and the top of the list.

[DeronMillsap]

Laettner looks like he's got some malicious ideas on his mind. :lol

[Al Thornton]

:roll: manute doing what he does best.

[kristy]

Latrell Sprewell is kinda devil in the 50 list of dirtiest player in NBA History

[Manute for Ever!]

40. John Starks
http://www.thesmokingjacket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/john-starks.jpg
John Starks comes from the old school of basketball. His heyday was a time when a player could play hard-nosed defense; today he would be labeled as dirty.
He would bump and shove with the best of them. By the end of the game he had worn out his opponent. That is what an NBA star should do.
Today, he would lead the league in fouls and fines.

39. Kurt Rambis
http://images.publicradio.org/content/2009/08/10/20090810_kurt_rambis_39.jpg
Kurt Rambis was very good at doing the little things. He would scramble for loose balls. He would put back a missed shot.
But he was also a great defender. He did an excellent job at getting under the skin of the opposition.
He did so well at it, Kevin McHale almost killed him one time.

38. Rick Mahorn
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uuV6zd7TbT4/SVH6XOwahRI/AAAAAAAAB1E/jRyLMYlTHVo/s400/9091SixersRickMahornFoul.jpg
Do you see what you could get away with back then?
Mahorn was physical on the court. He was the baddest of the Pistons "Bad Boys" in 1989. He would do anything to create contact down low. It was the only way he could compensate for his horrible jumping ability.
I guess if you can't beat them, shove them.

37. Zaza Pachulia
http://cache.boston.com/resize/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2008/04/29/1209467319_3445/499w.jpg
In a recent poll by Sports Illustrated (http://slumz.boxden.com/f16/s-i-poll-reveals-nbas-dirtiest-player-1348179/), Zaza Pachulia was listed as the sixth-dirtiest player in the NBA currently.
Pachulia has absolutely no qualms about fouling and fouling hard. He will wrap you up, give you a nice shoulder to the back, basically anything short of boxing.

36. Clyde Lovellette
http://images.art.com/images/products/large/10100000/10100449.jpg
In his book, The Rivalry: Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and the Golden Age of Basketball (http://books.google.com/books?id=SVrOwbqMmvMC&pg=PA123&lpg=PA123&dq=Clyde+Lovellette+and+wilt&source=bl&ots=zr-vD6Q295&sig=Qzb7f3YdZA1FHeiM0P2ioeOz1-A&hl=en&ei=8bL1TKrREYm2sAOl-rCdDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=7&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=Clyde%20Lovellette%20and%20wilt&f=false), John Taylor recounts the extreme measures Clyde Lovellette would go to in order to take down Wilt Chamberlain.
He is even said to have given Wilt a forearm to the jaw while the two were running down the floor. It was truly a different era.

35. Dave Cowens
http://www.corbisimages.com/images/67/241A2327-CE32-447F-B46D-F6128CDA37D6/U1870263.jpg
Dave Cowens was an all-out menace on the court. On offense and defense, he only had one speed. He gave it all he had and that entered into some very physical play. There is no way around getting into altercations when you are hand-checking at the speed he played at.
The easiest way to think of it: Sasha Vujacic with talent.

34. Isiah Thomas
http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2008/0421/pg2_a_thomas_300.jpg
One thing you have to remember about the point guards of the '80s and '90s is that they were smaller and more active. They have to drive to the hoop and mix it up with much bigger men.
"Zeke" only measured 6' tall. It was only natural for him to get into the paint and take advantage of the refs not looking. If there was an errant elbow or even a trip while he was guarding you, well, so be it.
The era was the NBA equivalent to the Wild West. They got away with a lot.

33. Kendrick Perkins
http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/0508/nba_a_perkins1_sw_sq_300.jpg
Perkins is already strong and malicious down low. He is bound to create unwarranted contact.
But what makes him a dirty star is his ability to get away with the illegal pick (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/16260/kendrick-perkins-pushes-the-envelope).

32. Andres Nocioni
http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/multimedia/photo_gallery/1003/dirtiest.nba.players/images/andres-nocioni.jpg
Andres Nocioni is tough, gritty and athletic if he plays for your team. For the rest of us fans, he is dirty.
He is really the last bastion of the NBA enforcer. If you wrong one of his teammates, you can be sure that Nocioni will be fouling you hard later in the game.

31. Anderson Varejao
http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2009/0527/nba_g_dhoward1_400.jpg
Anderson Varejao may look like a taller Justin Guarini from American Idol fame, but he is much more sinister than that.

Anderson Varejao is the worst kind of dirty player. He will swing those lanky arms and then act as if he was framed for the whole thing. It is that kind of karma that killed the Cavaliers.

CP3 at 13 and Artest at 12 :roll: :roll:

THat pic of Perk lol. Fish hook!

[Niquesports]

How can this list not have Dennis Rodman on top .
Didnt take the time to go to the link but Karl Malone John Stockton Danny Anige and Darryl Walker should be up with the top. Spree wasnt dirty it was 2 grown men having a disagreement. Right or Wrong Spree felt disrepected this goes beyound basketball when 1 man steps on another mans manhood. PJ was just at fault or more teammates would have supported him.

[Rose]

Good job so far Manute, I like reading it better this way.

[SoCalMike]

I am wondering when Maurice Lucas will be on the list...

ok, he's #23 on that link... duh.



:pimp:

[Niquesports]

Ah whatever, continue.
How about the whole 1986 celtics team

[The_Yearning]

Bad list...where's Melo? Should be top 10 currently in the NBA.

[Zan Tabak]

Bill Laimbeer...Number 1. Sorry to kill the suspense.

[TheAnchorman]

Bill Laimbeer...Number 1. Sorry to kill the suspense.
Yeah nobody def. saw that coming :pimp:

Also, there's Kobe but no Jordan? Jordan threw elbows quite frequently as well, not to mention he was probably given free rein by the officials.

[lakerHater]

I think they shoulda used a different video for Bruce Bowen, cuz if somone hits me in my balls they're gettin a kick also!

[kobelamarjackson]

PJ Brown should be part of the list.

omg loser didnt even write this, what a clown. Manute plagirizes again!

[Psileas]

OK, we know these "all-time" lists. About a third of these guys seem to be just his personal dislikes among active players. Kobe is dirty, because of the elbow flinging? If he wants to add all-time greats, Kobe doesn't hold a candle to Bird or Kareem. Just watch Kareem punch Kent Benson (also a dirty player) or an already fallen down Happy Hairston back in '72 and tell me Kobe is supposedly dirtier. According to this list, 47 of the 50 players come from the 80's and later, despite the fact that the eras before the 80's had at least as many brawls, probably more. No Darryl Dawkins. And Clyde Lovelette, easily a top-10 DOAT, is practically considered only an afterthought at #36.

[wakencdukest]

I don't know about Chris Paul. Is it just based on that one dick punch? Sometimes you have to say screw it and dish out some punishment. I don't see him as a dirty player though.

[1987_Lakers]

Danny Ainge. Seemed to get under everyone's skin.

[Rose]

I didn't either at first, but then I've seen a lot (this year particularly) about how he's dirty. He'll complain about calls trying to get guys thrown out, then he'll flop everywhere on the floor more than anyone. But once he goes on national TV, he doesn't do that anymore.

[SinJackal]

This.

I remember even talking to you about this a couple weeks ago. . .about how Paul would lie and fake like a player just punched, kicked, or elbowed him to try and get them thrown out of the game, and you were like no way! And that very same day he fakes like he got slammed with an elbow when he didn't, and someone almost got thrown out for it until that player begged the refs to review the replay. . .after which the call was reduced and he got to stay in the game.

Paul's the biggest flopper in the league, but also goes above and beyond and constantly lies to refs and flops when he doesn't even get touched several times when someone moves their arms trying to get people ejected.

I'm somewhat surprised Paul isn't higher on the list tbh. He should be, due to all his flopping and lying.

I'm also surprised Raja Bell is so low. He not only flops, but also flagrants people all the time. Bell should be in the top 10-15 at least.

[Floppy]

I'd put him even higher. He tried to elbow Dampier twice with a flying elbow in the playoffs and the refs gave Damp the foul both times. He gets away with so much shit it's ridiculous.

[Juges8932]

Where the **** is Rajon Rondo?

[EllEffEll]

:wtf: Jerry Sloan is nowhere to be found on this list?

*cough*bullsh!t*cough*

Before I even see it, I bet rodman is #1.

Actually, I didn't get to finish cutting and pasting this because my computer got a virus, it was going to take five pages if I included an image for each player and the link would be in the last post. Just wondering, how is it plagerizm if it is written as a quote? Doesn't that therefore mean I am 'quoting' someone? For a certafiable genius, you are dumb as ****!

He's considered dirty for throwing elbows, but as you pointed out, MJ did it too... hah, even Barkley did it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dmS40OYJ3o

[Tide]

lol @ no Rondo

[Jasper]

Quite frankly I do not think I could name 20 players ... unless I went back into the archives and remember the individuals ...

I will say 70's 80's earliy 90's some very rough play ,,
but most of the dirty play was out of detroit .
how anyone cane come up with a valid 50 ... good luck with that

[JustinJDW]

What a stupid list. Only a few people on that list were actually dirty. Most of those guys were just passionate, physically aggressive and intimidating basketball players.

It's so stupid that we as basketball fans call today's game too soft, and how you can't play defense and just breathing on superstars are fouls nowadays. But then we got a list where we put all the great players of that past that were opposite of that and were not afraid to play aggressively and be gritty, and call them all dirty. Talk about generalizing and oversimplifying an entire way of basketball.

Stupid list.

[1rkrage]

kobe is ranked higher than pierce? :facepalm

he mentioned shaq's elbows, where's KG in all this?

You didn't expose anybody. Manute does this all the time in the OTC, and his threads are always very interesting. Pretty sure if just posted a link no one would even bother clicking it, the way he outlines the thread is much better.

I bet he hates google. :oldlol:

I did get busted about a year ago ripping something off and claiming it as my own, now I've just got a bunch of bored kids led by Sergio on my ass waiting for it to happen again. It's a good thing I have a life outside of an internet message board (and that when I do post something I always include a link now).

You hardly gave him enough time to even post the entirely list, he had what the first 10 of the 50 players posted by the time you did that? I realize he HAS done it before, but why would he get caught again? especially for posting something off the bleacherreport.

[AirJordan&Magic]

No jerry Sloan?? Matt Harpering? Darryl Dawkins??

Jeff Ruland deserves mention as well. And I would put Isiah Thomas higher.

I don't know who Sergio is, but I don't like rippers. I'm into digital/graphics art and have seen my work ripped several times. I'm not fond of this type of activity.

And please don't make it seem like I'm the hopeless loser when you just admitted to plagiarizing on a regular basis.

That doesn't make sense. So I should've waited for him to complete his copy and paste routine in hopes that he will give credit to the original writer? That logic doesn't make sense at all. I didn't know he had done it before, but that's just more reason to catch him early. Much like that Dwade03 guy who steals trade ideas from other forums.

Tell me, Columbo, why would I put the same link in five consecutive posts on the same topic in the same thread? It's not a term paper, it's a ****ing message board! When you write an assignment, do write the references on ever single page? No, you put them at the end!

And I think he's a good poster too, which is why I originally chose to leave him but then people started to neg me and calling me out and stupid shit. And now people are defending him and he's trying to deny it. :facepalm

Holy shit, you guys really need to get a life.
Message board = Term paper now? That's not the same thing.

When you're writing/typing something for school you take bits and pieces of information from whatever source and write it in your own opinion and then place the source links in the work cited page. That's what a smart student would do.
A stupid student would copy+paste the entire article and then hand it in. That's plagiarizing. Kinda what you're doing here

But again, that's different from what you did right here and it's a message board. Different circumstances. Here you were copying and pasting an entire article post by post, 'organizing' it and so on. But you made it come off as if you made it this list. You didn't say you did, but it's clear that's what you were trying to make it seem like. You didn't post a link. Usually when people are posting either news or articles they have a link posted in the post, finished or not. And now I hear this isn't the first time you have plagiarized online. Tsk tsk Mr. Manute.


I did get busted about a year ago ripping something off and claiming it as my own
Okay maybe not on a regular basis, but you've done it before. And YGS stated you do this quite often on OTC, so I'm just guessing here you do this stuff quite often.

And you say it's only a message board. That doesn't make it alright to plaigirize/rip. Some people live off of making articles like this online. So again, don't make it seem like I'm the bad guy here.


Dude did this to me in some "zone defense" thread. He made absolutely no sense and I left confused as sh*t. :oldlol:
That usually happens when you are completely owned and have no response. I don't even know you or remember that argument, but I bet this happened.

[Manute for Ever!]

blondie? Didn't notice him till now so whatever.

And I think he's a good poster too, which is why I originally chose to leave him but then people started to neg me and calling me out and stupid shit. And now people are defending him and he's trying to deny it. :facepalm


Message board = Term paper now? That's not the same thing.

When you're writing/typing something for school you take bits and pieces of information from whatever source and write it in your own opinion and then place the source links in the work cited page. That's what a smart student would do.

Okay I'm going to end this right here:

I tried pass some shit as my own once and got busted, now I always add a link.
I'm not making a profit off copying, pasting AND CITING other people's work, if anything, it draws more attention to their original piece
You have a major superiority complex and/or security issues
I'm done with this topic.

You didn't post a link, I did. You're welcome.
You're not profiting but you're trying to gain forum rep and again, make it seem like you made this list.
Yes I have security issues. I've had my graphics ripped several times, not fond of it. You plagiarize for non-profit/beneficial reasons on an online forum. You're the one with problems.

no it didn't happen once. you made close to 50 threads in the otc not in quotes and with no links, of course, over and over and eventually you did get exposed. yet you keep doing it. you're incapable of contributing anything to this forum. no you're not "drawing attention to the original piece" nobody knew what this list was until batz posted the article you ripped. IF YOU WANT TO POST AN ARTICLE FROM ANOTHER WEBSITE PUT IT IN THE THREAD TITLE AND THEN POST THE LINK AT THE TOP OF THE POST. you complete ****.

Clyde Lovelette was a designated dirty man. That was how he ate. He earned a living that way. How he isn't top three is amazing.

What's amazing is how the hell the league allow him to go that far...

[1rkrage]

You didn't expose anybody. Manute does this all the time in the OTC, and his threads are always very interesting. Pretty sure if just posted a link no one would even bother clicking it, the way he outlines the thread is much better.

he was gonna link it though....I think the quotes are perfectly indicative of that.

As punishment Batzman you should should have too finish the rest of his work!

[blondie]

all this plagirizing little clown needs to do is put the link at the end of the post and no one would have said shit to him. He brings this abuse upon himself and I have a sneaking suspicion that he enjoys the negative attention.

[Batz]

Again, how are you so sure? I'm just supposed to sit back and hope he gives credit to the original writer?

Besides, if I wasn't going to post the link, someone else would.

And you're basically Robinz, I just prefer to call you Rosez. Take a hint. :D

Because doing this every time I post "[QU/OTE=ROSE]" get really really old.

I do think someone else would have probably posted the link but I think it takes time to actually do all that shit.

Yep this clown always plays the "innocent poor me" card and saps lap it up.

He forgot to mention the part where in one of his list threads, some guy complimented him on the list he stole from the internet and he said "thanks, I was just having a conversation with my girlfriend in a cafe and she told me that I should send this in to cracked.com! Thanks for the rep guys, I always wanted to be a cracked.com writer do you think I have what it takes?"

so not only was he ripping off articles but he was inventing imaginary conversations with his imaginary girlfriend in what is most likely an imaginary cafe. Manute has issues-just let him flounder through life, he isn't going to change.

[Batz]

With google it doesn't take long to figure out when someone is stealing info from an article.

Posting a link on the first post isn't hard. He was clearly trying to make it seem like he typed it up. I'm not buying this 'but but i wuz gona pos teh linkz at teh end D;' routine.

In all honesty, I've never seen him not a post a link since I started venturing to the OTC, but I have seen him man up and admit that he stole that story you're talking about though.

Obviously it doesn't but to me why the **** would he put that in quotes, and just let it be I mean it's annoying to type the quotes thing out everytime. And I always post a link at the top of an article I post on here too, but I realize that technically speaking you are supposed to do it at the end and most people do.I think you should have at least given him the benefit of the doubt before exposing him.

He stopped doing it in the OTC after he got called out and clowned on for inventing his imaginary conversation from his made up girlfriend. Now months later he comes into the NBA forum trying to pull the same stunt hoping no one will notice and craving more rep. Kid's a herb.
