Most likeable teammate out of the top 10 if you are a role player?

[NBAplayoffs2001]

I would say Shaq. He always said he liked getting other players involved and he seems like a fun-loving guy.

[SouBeachTalents]

Kobe would disagree with you on that one

[riseagainst]

Magic, bird, Hakeem, Russell.

[Lebronxrings]

lebron. No im not trolling or anything, but he shares the ball and makes his teamates better.

he's not top 10 doe.

:confusedshrug:

[Soundwave]

Probably Magic.

Shaq is immature and likes to wrestle naked with teammates apparently, lol.

lebron. No im not trolling or anything, but he shares the ball and makes his teamates better.

Oh so he trades you when you get drafted and asks you to be drafted then leave the team

[MP.Trey]

Magic easy. Duncan/Russell a close 2nd/3rd.

[BuffaloBill]

1. Duncan
2. Magic
3. Russell
4. Kareem
5. Bird
6. Shaq
7. Wilt
8. Lebron
9. Kobe
10. MJ

Turning bosh and wade into jump shooters don't make em better

[ArbitraryWater]

Definitely Magic... Then Duncan/LeBron/Russell

[NBAplayoffs2001]

:lebronamazed:

[Milbuck]

Didn't Duncan straight up ignore some of his teammates for like a year?

Magic or Hakeem.

[VelvetHoop]

I would go with Magic.. Super competitive, but seems like he would be a blast as a teammate

Why does everything on here turn into a debate about Lebron James :facepalm

[AirFederer]

Bird:bowdown:

[BigTicket]

Magic or Russell.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

KG

[SexSymbol]

Magic or Bird

[FlashDwyaneWade3]

I would say Shaq. He always said he liked getting other players involved and he seems like a fun-loving guy.
Yet guys like D-Wade, Penny Hardaway, Nick Anderson don't like Shaq.

[trig]

Nash and Shaq. lots of role players got good contracts because of those 2

[JohnMax]

Jason Kidd

[SpecialQue]

I would say Shaq. He always said he liked getting other players involved and he seems like a fun-loving guy.

Isn't Shaq a notorious asshole who burned bridges with nearly every team he was on? Shit, even on TV he's always acting defensive and looks like he's on the verge of punching whoever disagrees with him. :lol

I'd go with Magic on this one, although he could be a prick sometimes. I remember reading a story where, when he found out AC Green was a virgin due to his religion, Magic hired some hookers to go upstairs and try to screw him. I think Green spent the night reading the Bible to them or something. :oldlol:

[JT123]

Is this a serious question? :biggums:
Lebron is the only one who would EVER have players following him to Cleveland of all places. :oldlol:
And then we have Bosh who risked missing out on a MAX contract cause he wanted to keep playing with Lebron so badly. :bowdown:
OP really needs to start making threads with less obvious answers.

It was a bet, Magic had a giant pool going with the Lakers to see how long AC would last without losing his virginity :oldlol:

Magic also was notorious for having sex parties at his house where he'd demand wanna-be actresses/models to perform oral sex on all the male guests. If you weren't partaking he'd make a big scene out of it. :oldlol:

[riseagainst]

now thinking about it

I think Magic is probably the most friendly to the point where he'd have gangbangs with dudes/possibly teammates, i mean he was THAT into that "chemistry"

then a close 2nd is Duncan, who is a closet homosexual? He's almost like Magic without the physical actions. But no doubt he was thinking about blowing a teammate off. That's why he always has that sinister smile on his face. He's daydreaming.

Like that one time when he got a double technical on the bench from Joey Crawford for smiling. He was prolly dreaming about getting it in with a teammate. Then he got a tech was like "wtf what does a man have to do for some gay thoughts around here. Fine just eject me so i can go wank it."

[T_L_P]

Didn't Duncan straight up ignore some of his teammates for like a year?

Magic or Hakeem.

Actually, it was just Parker. It was strictly off the court, because he and Tim had nothing to communicate about. Parker said he got it because of how quiet Tim was. He didn't once say he hated/liked him less for it.

Aside from Russell/Magic, I haven't seen teammates rave about a guy as much as they do Duncan.

That's my top 3.

[Dro]

I dunno, Bird or Magic seem like they would really get in your face and curse you out if you keep messing up. Shaq doesn't seem to be that way though. I've never seen him get in the face of role players and berate them or even get into with anybody on his team during the game. However, Kobe, Lebron, Jordan, etc have all gotten into it with teammates during the game, heated too..

So I'd say Shaq, he seems like very fun dude and won't talk down to you or not pass you the ball because you're a role player. He just does his job and lets the rest take of itself.....

Either him or Duncan.

[Dro]

Magic or Russell.
Is Russell top 10?:confusedshrug:

Yea tony parker said it publicly (in his french documentary) that during his rookie year Duncan said no more than 10 words to him the entire season. Parker said you had to win his respect in some way shape or form.

Can't speak for others though.

[K Xerxes]

From Kenny's stories and other people around the league, Hakeem was a very likable and honorable guy.

[DetroitPistonFan]

KG
Why? He punches teammates.

[no pun intended]

Wilt Chamberlain. I would have loved to watch my teammate attempt 40 shots a game and dominate the floor. Makes life easier.

I watched them say more than ten words to each other in a single game.

They had no off the court relationship. Nothing about earning trust. Duncan, an introvert, and Tony, a 19-year-old French kid, had nothing to talk about.

And Parker doesn't hold it against him at all. But there are no others.

Manu's take:

"I couldn

lebron

big time names were willing to take massive paycuts just to play hoops with the guy. doesnt hurt when you're a selfless and gregarious teammate :applause:

Anyone got any interesting quotes of a player ripping into an ex-teammate (star teammates)?

Everyone has a good word for Kobe but people say he's a not a good teammate. I'm confused.

[DirkLegend41]

smush parker says hi
But nobody liked Smush and is known to be a hot head. Even the Heat waived him for his behavior after 1 year having his best season with the Lakers.

[Stringer Bell]

Russell.

[Harison]

Magic or Hakeem.
Yeah, Parker complained Duncan didnt even talked to him the first year.

I would say Magic, Bird and Russell, in no order.

[Harison]

KG

KG isnt Top10, but yeah, he is "live or die for your friends" type and loved by teammates. Exception would be soft and crappy players.


From Kenny's stories and other people around the league, Hakeem was a very likable and honorable guy.

Mature Dream yes, but early Akeem was quite hot-headed and got into fights.

[T_L_P]

Yeah, Parker complained Duncan didnt even talked to him the first year.

No, he jokingly said that Duncan barely talked to him off the court, and he later said he exaggerated for the media -- Tony, Tim and Manu really get off on knowing how many gullible saps there are.

[IMObjective]

Kareem, i know he has a reputation for not being the friendliest guy, but every radio interview i've heard with him he's always hilarious. One time, the radio host was asking him about chamberlain's 100 point game and kareem started complaining about how sorry the guy that was guarding him that game was, and he didn't come across as a butthurt jealous competitor, it was just hilarious and the host was cracking up.

I bet he's the truly funniest one in the top ten, i even remember an episode of full house that he did. I think as long as you don't act like a punk around him he'd respect you and you'd get along fine. Hakeem next, i think people would get tired of magic and shaq's crap after some time, and a lot of people probably wouldn't feel comfortable around duncan.
