Who in your opinion is the nicest player in the NBA or comes off as being really nice. After watching the draft and all these specials on Derrick Rose I can't beleive how nice and well mannered this guy is. On draft night he would respond to everyone as "Sir" and would answer every question as polite as possible with a smile on his face. It stunned me how humble and respectful he is. Another player would be Jose Calderon, being from Toronto you can't stop but say nice things about him, he volunteered and gave up his starting PG position to TJ Ford himself because he felt it would be good for the team, and he always seems amazingly nice to fans whenever I go to Raptors games. Who do you think is the nicest player in the NBA?

There was a guy who posted here who caught Chris Paul at the airport and greeted him with a banner. CP3 stopped and signed the banner and posted for pics.

That seems pretty nice

eddie najera is the one of the nicest guys in the league. marcus camby and kenyon martin are really active in the community and come across as really nice guys off the court, even tho the nuggets have a bad reputation.

Richard Jefferson, Shane Battier, Derek Fisher, Vince Carter.


I met Malik Sealy in 1996 and he was one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. I can't believe it's been 8 years since he died.

There are a lot of nice NBA players. The nicest I've seen is Dalembert. Some girl my brother knows said they went to some Greg Oden parts at his house and said he is the nicest guy ever.


The meanest player I have ever seen is Rasheed. Dude is straight bitter. Use to be my favorite in Portland. I've seen him turn down little kids for autographs. I just wanna sock him in the face. My friends shouted, "I'll dunk on you n****" and Sheed looked around like WTF. Classic high school moment.

Funny thing, i Met artest when he played for saint johns and when he made the elite eight in knoxville. Me and my brother sat next to his gf and after the game he came into the stands ( he has a habit of this) to hug her. He talked to me and my brother for 5 minutes and couldn't have been nicer. I met Rodman on a plane to vegas and he got up half way through the flight to use the bathroom, a couple guys just followed him to shoot the **** for the remainder of the flight. he bought drinks for them and was just talking to these strangers. I was 10 at the time and walked back there for his autograph , he gave it to me and asked who my favriote player was. And i said barkley...... he said i have good taste. And continued talking to the people surrounding him. Really a nice guy as well....everyone is nice when u think about it.

I used to live by him, and he was pretty nice to everyone in the neighborhood. Waived to almost everyone, was at his sons activities at school, just seemed nice. I don't think he's mean...I just don't think he likes all the attention and stuff, I think he's a bit more mellow than most stars.

Im surprised nobody mentioned Ron Artest,dude is one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
KG definetly would be in the Top 5 as well for me.

One of the meanest players if not the meanest player would have to be Kobe,he seems like an arrogant **** who you would only like as a person if you were his friend.

I kind of meant outside of the game, I think he just wants to live his life. Not be a star outside of the stadium.

Sam Cassel is a B.

A few years back during Iversons last year in philly(I used to be a huge AI fan) My brother and I went to a clippers vs sixers game at the staples center and we were in the 4th row and It was cassels Birthday and my brother had a sign with him and when he was running down the floor my 12 year old brother yelled out "Yeah go Sam! happy birthday!"

And he just started right at my brother and diddnt say anything... idk but he gave a bit of a dirty look(Maybe it had to do with me sitting right next to my brother in an Iverson jersey)


I heard Van exel was a jerk.
