Which active/historic players have the most negative traits connected to their name?

[CavaliersFTW]

If you were to start listing all the negative traits associated with 1 player, which players would have the longest list of strikes against their name?

IE

Dwight Howard:
Prima donna
Passive aggressive
etc

Michael Jordan:
Asshole
Gambling addict
etc

Lebron:
Collusion
PED's
etc

Kobe:
Snitch
Chucker
etc


You get the idea, make a thorough list of all the negative traits you can think of to describe the player which you suspect has the most negativity connected to their name , both on and off the court. Make lists for multiple players if you can't decide on just one. :cheers:

If you're gonna throw "PEDs " at the king, you might as well throw it to the rest of them, no?

You can do more than 3, I mean as many as you can possibly think of. If you can only come up with 3 for Wilt than he's not even a good candidate, I can ramble off 10 negative traits for certain players just off the top of my head. I want to see what others contribute here first before I dive in though.

I'm sorry, but I was surprised when I saw Kobe listed and not rapist with that name.

Interesting, I noticed that you unintentionally listed "rapist" twice, maybe subliminally that's what pops off people's mind first???:confusedshrug:

He also had a fling with cuttino mobley. Not saying that I've find homosexuality to be a negative trait, but knowing this community might ass well throw it in there

[kshutts1]

Answer on ISH will be someone current, and someone great. Most likely Kobe, though Lebron is possible.

But for Kobe:
Rapist
Shaq leaving (dunno what to call it)
selfish
PEDs
Stats > winning
For all his BBIQ he sure takes a lot of ill-advised shots/refusal to pass
All D team on name alone (this one won't last, but since we're "in the moment" that bugs the heck out of me that he's gotten passes for his D based on his name)

[KobesFinger]

Wilt:
Kills animals

[ripthekik]

go to the thread that asks for 5 words to describe lebron and collect them all together and you got it.

[qrich]

Didn't Ruben Patterson steal Qyntel Woods luggage and burn a vary poor something?

ive never heard of lebron linked to PEDs outside of this site, and i thought it was mostly trolls who made the accusations.

The "Eye test" is the link that I make. Just huge gains. Then Kobe is "linked" because of his inhuman way of coming back/playing through injury.

[SCdac]

I'm a Kobe critic as much as the next guy, he's clearly a chucker... but do people not know what acquitted means? ... calling him a rapist got old like 5 years ago :facepalm

[Dr. Ice]

Not a single person mentioned Isaiah thomas? Come on ISH...

[SilkkTheShocker]

Wilt Chamberlain: Loser

[Flash31]

Kareem Abdul Jaabar and Wilt

you see the media hype up and praise,prop Jordan,Magic,Bird
even Russell and the players do too

but yet
Kareem with
6 MVPS,6 Rings,most points in NBA History,20 yr career of 20,10 gets no praise,no hype,nothing somehow it was all Magic

and Wilt who has more NBA Records than Everybody Else Combined and was the Most Dominating Player ever Literally Gets 0 praise
Everything Wilt did is either discreditied,trashed,brought down,or completely disregarded

Wilt was the quickest ever to 10,000-20,000-30,000 pts by a longshot
closest was MJ and he was 200 games back
Wilt has most rbs ever,most likely most blocks too
was on the Highest Streak Team in history,Tied with MJ for highest ppg
avg
30,23

And same with Kareem its always about his teammate,in Wilts case
Jerry West

You see the media compare greats to Magic,Bird,MJ yet completely and utterly disregard Wilt,Kareem like somehow their records or stats or play was inferior or didnt matter,
even Russell

It took the Boston Celtics over 40 years to get a statue of Bill
Kareem had to practically beg the Lakers for one 30 years after even though Magic has one and Shaq got One BEFORE HIM

Everybody brings up Kobe to Mj,when if you compare either one to Wilt
Wilt demolishes Kobe and MJ is 200 games back

Regardless of what people may think,being known as the goat or one of the goat and being compltely disregarded like that,come on

The media nowadays doesnt even mention Earl Monroe,Walt Frazier,Thurmond,Baylor,Oscar Robertson,Pippen(unless its to call someone a sidekick,completely degrading Pippens role and Pippen)




5 MOST Negative, or Disregarded,disrespected players

Wilt,Kareem,Oscar Robertson,Scottie Pippen,Russell

[Flash31]

He also had a fling with cuttino mobley. Not saying that I've find homosexuality to be a negative trait, but knowing this community might ass well throw it in there

a fling?practically a commitment
It was True Love
They were Jason Collins before him,they were a closer Isiah-Magic,they were the predecessors of Parsons-Lin,
come on,they broke barriers lol

Nothing wrong with that,But anyways
Francis was a very good player,if he played today the Rose-Francis comparisons would be endless but as others good to greats age,drugs played a part
Even AI got completely blackballed

[Spaulding]

Thats a negative trait? :confusedshrug:

See Magic Johnson.

The bolded can also be applied to Jordan. Funny thing is media and and fanboys like to sweep these facts under the rug

- Jordan also cheated on his wife, which lead to his divorce. Why is that never a circulated fact?
- I also think Jordan took the cake for being the worst teammate possible. Constantly calling teammates ******s and discouraging them, even ruining careers
-When Jordan was shook by AI he deliberately tried to invent his own crossover. There's the copycat, along with other moves he took off Dr.J
- He was extremely rude to the public

On top of that add:

- Ditching basketball to pursue a career in baseball (attention whore)
- Gambling
- His father being murdered potentially brought on by MJ's off court problems (this may be worse than a rape accusation)
- Corporate sellout
- Shytty actor
- Having Oakley protect him in public


Now I'm not defending Kobe because he is definitely has a bad rep, but Jordan definitely has a case for having the worst rep tied to his name. He's just got good PR to hide all his garbage

His second biggest crime, in my opinion.

His biggest crime?

[SamuraiSWISH]

Wilt wasn't a womanizer, he was habitual liar and a homosexual who manufactured a number of women he slept with in order to over compensate to cover up for the fact he was most likely gay. Also, Chamberlain clearly abused steroids while hanging around Arnold, and Andre the Giant. He was a selfish, extremely talented loser.
