The major ones have already been covered. This interview by Steph isn't controversial, but it's so dumb as to be almost unbelievable. Dude had to be high:

[QUOTE=Jimmy2k8]seriously, I don't get the Jason Kidd quote.[/QUOTE]
If you go 360 degree you're back to where you begin. He meant to say he wanted to turn this team around.
And the quote should say "this" instead of "his"

Re: Most Controversial and/or Dumb comments by NBA players
So the correct line would be "I'm going to turn this team around 180 degrees".

Re: Most Controversial and/or Dumb comments by NBA players
[QUOTE=Jimmy2k8]seriously, I don't get the Jason Kidd quote.[/QUOTE]
Going 360 degrees will get you back to where you originally started. The Mavs were the joke of the league, so Kidd was saying "We suck, so I'll turn this franchise 360 degrees and we'll still suck".

Re: Most Controversial and/or Dumb comments by NBA players
I don't think I've seen a commentator hold as big of what is seemingly a personal grudge in any sport period as I have with Walton and Candy-Man. Seriously, what's the story behind this? He would routinely diss that guy like he slapped his mama on the ass or something.
