[J Shuttlesworth]

Probably the guy who Popovich called the best player on the planet.

Although I do hope Pierce wins the WSOP

[Droid101]

Easily Kobe. Go read any player poll for the last 10 years.

[sammichoffate]

I can't think of anyone who hates Dirk or Duncan :lol

[Milbuck]

Nash, Dirk, Duncan, and Kobe.

[CelticBaller]

Easily Kobe. Go read any player poll for the last 10 years.
Good joke

[russwest0]

Agreed, I don't think I've ever heard a player or coach say a bad thing about Durant.

[Beastmode88]

Duncan. Doesn't seem like he can hurt a fly.

[T_L_P]

Probably the guy who Popovich called the best player on the planet.

Cmon bro. I'm not a LeBron hater, but he's not even close to being the most respected player in the league.

About 90% of his East opponents hate him, including every Pacer not named Paul George. The Celtics were out for his blood as well. :confusedshrug:

[LBJMVP]

Wade should be on a list of the least respected players

[outbreak]

lol I don't think people respect Wade. They openly laugh at him when he flops that's not respect.

[BallsOut]

Wade respected?

Kendrick Perkins kicking dude in the face :yaohappy:

[Fire Colangelo]

Pre-Heat Ray Allen?

[red1]

Good joke
:lol looks like we have some comedians today:


Kobe

Durant

Wade should be on a list of the least respected players

[wally_world]

Nash, Dirk, Duncan, and Kobe.

accurate

[ArbitraryWater]

Anyone mind pulling up a pull were players voted on who flopped most? Kobe at the top.. Will search for it tommorow.

Floppers aren't respected.. Unless you LeBron and you think he's a routine flopper.

[DaSeba5]

Is the criteria of this thread who is disliked less? Because every good player is respected.

Tim Duncan

[Brokenbeat]

Nash, Dirk, Duncan, and Kobe.

Yeah I'd love to see a citation link on that one. I can show you a billion LeBron flops if you want, though. http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=302139

Kobe was consistently voted one of the best players by player polls.

[GimmeThat]

I don't know if anyone ever respected Tim Duncan before he two hands slammed haaard on the floor in that finals against Lebron.


nah, I've got no clue.

[Cold soul]

Nash, Dirk, Duncan, and Kobe.

This ^^^. Well said.

[Le Shaqtus]

Paul Pierce got stabbed in the face and lived, dude is raw as f*ck.

[bballnoob1192]

Good joke
What just because a few idiots on ISH troll against kobe you don't think he is one of the most respect player in the league? :facepalm

[red1]

Paul Pierce got stabbed in the face and lived, dude is raw as f*ck.
:applause: gets stabbed 11 times and then plays all 82 games in the season. oakland's finest

[Rodmantheman]

Wade? Is the OP retarded? He's a notorious flopper and plays like a scumbag.

Agree!

[MavsPoke]

Nash, Dirk, Duncan, and Kobe.

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just does not belong.

*HINT* Rhymes with grape-ist


Wade should be on a list of the least respected players

:biggums:

[LBJFTW]

Duncan

Does it matter?

[Droid101]

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just does not belong.

One of them has less rings? Less MVPs? Shorter peak? Shorter prime? Worse longevity? Worse peak? Worse prime?

Shut your biased face bitch.

Ad hominem instead of a response. Typical of folks with no ground to stand on.

http://www.warriorsworld.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Kevin-Garnett.jpg
Tim Duncan and Carmelo Anthony are probably the only players that hate Kevin Garnett.

[T_L_P]

Tim Duncan and Carmelo Anthony are probably the only players that hate Kevin Garnett.

And 90% of the foreigners.

[GimmeThat]

probably those players who make you earn your And 1's

[J Shuttlesworth]

Cmon bro. I'm not a LeBron hater, but he's not even close to being the most respected player in the league.

About 90% of his East opponents hate him, including every Pacer not named Paul George. The Celtics were out for his blood as well. :confusedshrug:
Even Paul Pierce called him the best player on the planet. Of course his playoffs opponents are gonna hate him on the court, but that doesn't mean they don't respect him. I'm sure LeBron hates the Spurs since they beat him twice, but he clearly respects them.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Agreed, I don't think I've ever heard a player or coach say a bad thing about Durant.
Durant, the dude with one of the highest technical foul counts in the league? :roll:

Pop said Durant is "arguably" the best player, but when it came to LeBron, he said "The best player on the planet", no "arguably" no asterisks

[RoundMoundOfReb]

A lot of players hate KG...I'd say Kobe/Duncan are the most respected..

[ZaaaaaH]

Its not hard if you followed the NBA close for about 10 ormore years.

Its Kobe and TD.

[CelticBaller]

How can LeBron be the most respected when every role player punks him?

[BlazerRed]

Duncan has got to be number one.

[LBJFTW]

The least respected player is lebron james hands down.

You don't get to

[DirkNowitzki41]

duncan and dirk

Never heard a player or coach say bad things about him. Also known for being one of the more philanthropic players in the league.
