What annoys you the most when you see it in the NBA

[I.R.Beast]

except flopping.


Derek Fisher driving to the rim. THis guy just loves trying to muscle his way to the rim, knowing damn well he aint gonna draw a foul and that he can't finish the layup anyway.

up fake, use the rim as a defender.....slow down in front of him to force him to foul...

so, they'd run in full speed.. then let them slow down so LeBron can chase them and try to fake him and fish for a foul?

Must suck that he's making them.

What I hate is Rose haters not giving him credit when he does something great (like hit game winners, lead 4tf qtr. comebacks). Then at the same time dump hard on him when he has a bad game.

Since his rookie year, they've been trying hard to not accept the greatness that is before them.

I guess ESPN needs to love on him some more and tell them he's great for them to understand.

Rose stans are getting so annoying. Have you ever thought that dude was annoying because of Rose's deadly slashing and mid range jumper? SMH, not everything is a slight against your god.

[KOBEtherealKing]

1. Kobe forcing shots trying to get to the freethrow line.
2. Gasol not playing defense. All he does is put up his hands even though he's like 10 feet from the shooter, he doesn't even try to get up close and contest.
3. Mettas terrible passing and no ball handling.
4. And puke walton wasting away on the bench so no playing time for darius morris!

So true. :(

Players complaining to the officials. The calls been made, they're not going to overturn it. Leave it to your coach to work the officials.

Superstars are obviously the worst at this. Lebron, Dwight and Kobe are some of the worst I've seen.

Carlos Boozer shooting horrendous fadeaway 18 footers instead of using his many post moves.

Interesting perspective. It's a fact that their fans will not be as happy as the Seattle area fans if they still had them and they won a ring. Gotta hurt a little to love a team.

EXACTLY..... he should not be shooting more than 3 threes a game....

Wade far too often complains after a missed shot where he thought he was fouled and then doesn't get back on defense. His man subsequently scores.

Lol, I started disliking him in 2008. I used to watch his games and half of his "assists" weren't really assists. He would throw a regular pass to David West, and West would hold the ball for 20 sec, do his moves, dribble the ball and score, and somehow CP3 would get an assist for it. It was almost like the NBA wanted to exaggerate his stats for some type of agenda. On top of that he flopped on every chance, complained about EVERY call, and he gets almost every call to go his way somehow.
Whenever he got knocked to the ground, he would pretend like he got really hurt, and try to act like a hero by playing through it. I've seen him do it multiple times in NO, and it's so obvious that he's faking it. I love BBall, and he makes it look like it's WWE. I dont know how someone can respect a player like that. He plays like a sissy, if he played like that on the streets, he would get his a$$ handed to him. Man, the reasons keep piling up.
On top of that, ESPN puts him as the top 4 player in the league. The guys shows up over weight to the clippers. People consider him a top PG in the league. He is just too overrated for me. Man, the reasons keep piling up.

i started to dislike him around the same time, the flopping did it for me, and i really disliked how much his game is predicated on the PnR....The nuggets completely exposed him in the playoffs. Once you containn the PnR then paul is shut down, Also i've always felt Deron was just as good if not better but quite simply was being dissed and unpublicized by the media.

CP3 is really nothing w/o a pick and roll. Wow, I hated how DWill was so underhyped when he deserved a lot more attention than CP3. He has always been a better all around player.

Javale McGee trying to dunk from outside the key and ending up bricking it and/or committing an offensive foul.

When he does the salute to the guy who passed him the ball after every ****ing dunk, and pulls some mean mug look even if the dunk was weak.

Staring down the guy he dunked on when his team is down 20.

I'm not a McGee hater, just can't stand some of the stupid shit he does sometimes. :oldlol:

Jeff Van Gundy. I can't stand that f*cking tool. This guy actually thought the Heat were gunna beat the Bulls 72-10 record.

[Timmy D for MVP]

Clear and blatant travels. I can sit through a game and it'll be like: "Travel, travel, that's a travel, that was called a travel last week, travel, travelling, travel."

It just blows my mind sometimes. I understand that the game is really fast and there aren't enough refs (*HINT HINT NBA*) but goddamn sometimes it's when the player catches the ball and then shuffles to get positioning or a dude moonwalks in the post.

[OmniStrife]

I personally HATE seeing players joking around / laughing / smiling when their team is losing.

I swear I wanted to punch Vince in the jaw so many times last year for that.

[NumberSix]

3 pointers

[RoseCity07]

Honestly it is the inconsistency by referees. You're team can win a game by being physical one night. Then you go into the next game with the same game plan but you're best players get into foul trouble. So you're basically not able to ever develop a style of play. In the NBA teams have to rely on a bit of luck.

It's not fun when one night flopping gets called and the next night they allow a lot of physical play go. We all know that is the main complaint every team has. The star players or big market teams get away with a lot more.

[Toizumi]

Bigs camping outside to shoot threes (as Sheed used to do). It messes up the team's positioning and gives the team one less rebounder. Go to the f*ckin post!!! I don't mind bigs shooting threes every now and then, but it's the camping that I really hate. Work on offense and if you're gonna position yourself on the court somewhere, let it be down low, where you're supposed to be!!!

Also, I hate it when players subs play a great game, but still get subbed out and get the minutes they usually play. If a player averaging 10MPG (and deserves no more), but plays superb in a specific game, why sub him out? I've seen players give their team's a great boost, but still get subbed out in favor of players that are higher up in the rotation hierarchy.

Whener refs call a travel I rewind it to see if it was the right call and it usually isn't.

[9erEmpire]

When guys get an offensive rebound near the basket and are surrounded by 2 or 3 guys yet still puts up horrendous put backs instead of passing out to the perimeter. Joel Anthony will often do this.

this is done because the player is so close to the basket. Just go right back up with it because a possible foul can occur.

It's hard to kick back outside if you are in the paint because you will be surrounded by a bunch of players and it would be risky trying to toss it back out.

[9erEmpire]

I've seen players give their team's a great boost, but still get subbed out in favor of players that are higher up in the rotation hierarchy.

That's because today's game is based on rotations and a systematic way of subbbing in players.

Most starters will play the entire 1st quarter then to be subbed for the scrubs. Then they come back in near the end of second half. It's a way of distrubuting minutes.

It sucks but unfortunately that's how teams distrubute minutes, instead of doing it off feel.

u must love the classic nba

[B-Ball PharmD]

:mad: Shooters "drawing" a foul by running forward, jumping into a defender who is keeping some distance from the shooter and trying to actually avoid any contact with them, making sure to flail arms/legs/torso into this defender, all the while not even concerned about the shot actually going in.

I wish they would call this shit in favor of the defender rather than the shooter who actually purposefully intiates the contact.

[pauk]

when someone goes for a puzzy layup with lebron chasing him down. how dumb do u have to be to do that, he blocks it everytime yet every other game we see some dumbass think he can score like tht

thing is... lebron catches all of them by surprise... they even see him coming and so on... they see him even at the halfcourt/3pt line just as they jump for the layup, no way he can catchup? but next thing you know the ball is smacked out of bounds.... lebron can cover so much ground, 4.3 sec 40 yard dash... thats like the speed of the fastest widerecievers in NFL history.... add his timing and 6'8"-6'9 length aswell... gives you the ultimate chasedown blocker..... he hunts you down like a predator.... Its freakin scientific, literally... here are some Scientists even breaking down this Lebron chasedown phenomena http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62sVb8_OcNc

its kindof hilarious nowadays, many dudes have a Lebronophobia when they go for a open breakaway layup.... did you see Rondo going for a completely open layup which he just turned down out of fear? i mean NOBODY was there, he goes in for the Layup and is 1 feet away from the hoop and he turns his head and sees Lebron racing down from halfcourt... Rondo instead just does an automatic 360 and runs back at the 3pt line waiting for his teammates to run a normal offense.... :oldlol:

I hate how easy it is for perimeter players to draw the foul these days.
