[STATfan32]

im a biased suns fan but i think raja bell could make at least the top ten list

[Kobe24]

Shaq?

[KingLeBronJames]

Shaq?
Shaq isn't tough. He swings like a girl. Remember the fight he had with Brad Miller when Miller was a Bull? LOL

[DetroitPistonFan]

Shaq needs lessons from Billy Blanks

[TMacYaoRockets]

Brad Miller owned Shaq

[04mzwach]

toughness isnt just fighting...

[FlashDwyaneWade3]

Bunch of Shaq haters here. Shaq will knock you guys out.

[geeWiz15]

Caron Butler is tough as nails. Bonzi Wells is no slouch either. Chauncey Billups.

[Kobe24]

No. I can kick Shaq then run.

[KingsFan416]

Bunch of Shaq haters here. Shaq will knock you guys out.
Yep and I still hate Shaq from his Laker days through this very day as a member of the Heat. Shaq sucks! It sickens me to see him win another NBA title.

[LiL Stevie]

Jerry Stackhouse is pretty tough. Gotten into a fair share of fights in his career. As we saw in the Finals, isn't afraid to drive the ball to the basket with Shaq in the way, and also committed that flagrant on Shaq.

[hateraid]

All NBA players flail like women. I've never seen a solid knock out connection ever. There's also a difference between tough and crazy. Although the line is very thin.

[wang4three]

Alonzo Mourning

No. And as Kenyon Martin said: "ow! my kidney, my kidney!"

I don't give a **** if you think I'm an ******* for saying that.

[T-Mac213]

even though his kidney sucks its probably better than urs

[geeWiz15]

No. And as Kenyon Martin said: "ow! my kidney, my kidney!"

I don't give a **** if you think I'm an ******* for saying that.
He's not tough because he got a kidney disease? Great... he screwed over your franchise so he's a ****ty person but you can't try and tell me he's weak.

[JSub]

I say...Yao Ming is the toughest player. He played without his big toe nail for 3 seasons or so, nonstop in the NBA and China. That shiz got infected, almost to the bone, yet he still didnt stop playing. Changing blood-drenched shoes and socks everyday after practice, but he still kept coming.

Yao Ming = The Man :pimp:

Anybody who can take like 12 shankings and play a full season like a month later is the ****.

Aiite, you got me there.

[Young HkM]

Aiite, you got me there.

I will admit though, I doubt you'd catch me playin with even a hang-nail.:roll:

[G-train]

yeah PP

[hotsizzle]

jermaine Oneal is up there

[Prodigy]

Ron Artest does not belong. He had one thing in his eyes back in November when Ben ****ed him. Fear.

[wang4three]

Just because someone is not tough does not make them weak. They can be average, and that is what Mourning is. Credit he went through a hard injury, but he's had the best doctors around him for all his life. You want to know why? Cause he's greedy and selfish. Try going through that without millions of dollars and top of the line insurance. Then you'll be tough.

[kwajo]

Caron Butler and an special shout out to Charles Oakley

[PacersFan]

Ben Wallace is tough like a monster... and Zo is second

[Lei]

Rasheed Wallace was the first name came to my mind, but after reading some of the posts I had to go for Paul Pierce.

[420puffer]

Allen iverson.

[JtotheIzzo]

Tyronne Lue

[SRZ66]

raja
b. wallace
k. van horn

[TheHonestTruth]

ben wallace, ron artest, kevin garnett and shane battier...


KG isn't tough, he got slapped by a much smaller Anthony Peeler.

[Iskrah]

Eddy Curry.

Or not. :cry:

[TheHonestTruth]

I gatta say:

Kenyon Martin
Ron Artest
Corey Maggette
Alonzo Mourning
Ben Wallace

Now those are a group of players that wont take crap from anyone.
Im sure every player knows if they get one of those player pissed they ganna get thier ass kicked


Kenyon is a faux tough guy.

So is Zo, remember his catfight with LJ?

[DwadeOverLebron]

kenyon is a front. he acts hard but one of my boys out in denver rolled on his ass at a club cuz he wouldn't give him an autograph, he was being a little biatch about it.

[bonez26]

Etan Thomas, Big Ben or Artest

[raiderfan19]

The fact that kenyon martin is mentioned in this thread shows how dumb some people are and how sad the state of the nba as far as "toughness" is.

[wang4three]

Whoever decided to give me a negative rep, it didn't go through and the fact you didn't leave your name is only atestement of how much of a loser you are. Try again, ******.

[dejordan]

gotta be iverson, right? he takes a pounding, plays injured, and puts in insane minutes every year.

[SsKSpurs21]

wow it took 3 pages for someone to mention ALLEN IVERSON?

you guys are mentioning phyisical toughness but there is also mental toughness and the size of a players heart which translate into toughness.

like dejordan said, the guy is shorter than most of the guys mentioned, takes a pounding every game, plays hurt and still logs in like 30+mins a game.

AI is all heart. without that he would be an eric snow lol

a player that has to be the most mentally tough is Tim Duncan. the guy is never rattled. you can talk all the trash you want, he will still go about his business.

[Marky418]

Kmart

[LakerzFan4Life]

Ben "The Enforcer" Wallace

[DetroitPistonFan]

Ben Wallace is the toughest even though I hate him now.

[KGBigTicket21MVP]

Garnett > Ben Wallace

[TheHonestTruth]

Garnett > Ben Wallace

Skillwise, yes.
Toughness, no.

[TEXAS BATMAN]

Hands down AI. Go to a gym, and I mean a REAL gym and play with some neanderthals like at 24 Hour Fitness Gold's or Bally's. Drive to the hole and get s#!tcanned. Then try stopping some dude who out weighs you by 30 pounds from freight training you as he goes to the hole. If you can wake up the next morning without screaming mommy I'll eat dog food dipped in puke.
Iverson has a boy's body playing in a man's game. The guy gets PUNISHED each and every game. The game plan going into every opposing team's mind is to bang him up and be as physical as possible.

My vote for AI.

On a side note, whoever said that their "homeboy" punked KMart at a club. Um yea, bruh. And you have streaming video of this on your cellphone right? Even when Ken played hs ball, heads knew if you played Ken puss you'd get your jersey turned inside out. The guy's a real live headcase. So unless you got vid proof of the confrontation, I'm not buying that wolf ticket.

[Darius]

Judging by the initial list the poster means the "most physically imposing" player rather than the "toughest".

[GoRapz]

Gotta be Matt Bonner, he fouled the crap outta KG. :pimp:

[04mzwach]

KG isn't tough, he got slapped by a much smaller Anthony Peeler.

KG has made records for playing in consecutive games, and he hardly ever has been on the injured list despite the injuries that he has had through his career. He's the focus of all defenses and has to gaurd the one of the tougher guys on defense. He hasn't had much help in the front court for years and has played starter minutes since his rookie year yet still averages 20/10 every season. i think he's tough...at least top 5 in the league toughness-wise.

[The Mamba]

A.i.

[Kobe24]

Mo pete is the ironman of the NBA so you have to put him in this discussing. Also,it's not like he never gets injured,he just always plays hurt.

[04mzwach]

Ron Artest does not belong. He had one thing in his eyes back in November when Ben ****ed him. Fear.
did u see artest in the playoffs? he was playing on a leg made of play doe...he's tough, trust me!

[Marky418]

soon Tyrus Thomas will be on the list

http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/apmegasports/gadm12303240229.widec.jpg

[Hurlyburly]

Iverson. He takes more of a beating than any player in the league. He can't shoot (low fg%) but drives to the whole with abandonment. He personfies the philly attitude.

Even if you don't like A.I. you gotta respect him.

[Mr Clutch Melo]

lol @ people saying KG :roll: :roll:

[LosBulls]

All NBA players flail like women. I've never seen a solid knock out connection ever. There's also a difference between tough and crazy. Although the line is very thin.

That Melo one in that NY fight and the Jermaine O'neal facon punch were petty good.

[InYaoWeTrust]

Carl Landry:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaVAL3DBauU
He just walked off the court like man. What a stud

Plus he got shot:bowdown: :bowdown:

[SinJackal]

Zach Randolph.

I remember when he stole on that dude for getting in his face.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTLvZndlssw

Randolph didn't even think twice about doing it. Pro.



lol @ people saying KG :roll: :roll:

Yeah I know. He yells at his teammates a lot, but he won't do anything to the other team. Only thing he's known for is hitting Tim Duncan from behind when he's not looking. You know he wouldn't have tried that with the guy who was standing next to Duncan, who would wreck his face with one shot with his DBZ arms.

[NuggetsFan]

Perkins
Kenyon
Artest
I'm not really sure who I'd go with here.
Fisher

[no pun intended]

SHEEEEED. Nobody screws with him.

[wigwan]

[ClipperRevival]

Kobe. I think he's the toughest guy to ever play this game and i don't even like him. Living in LA his whole career, i saw first hand all of the injuries he played through. And when he tore his Achillies and took 2 ft's, that just confirmed my beliefs. Most guys who tear their Achillies instantly fall to the floor in agony. But this guy shot 2 fts and walked off the floor himself. In terms of sheer determination to win, i think he was THE alpha of them all, even over MJ. MJ played golf every day in the summer while Kobe worked.
