Dirtiest Players in NBA History?

[giantgonzolez]

From my decades worth of watching the NBA, these are the top 5.

5. Karl Malone, elbows, cheapshots and allaround dirty play(just ask Isiah Thomas).

4. Bill Cartwright: one of the dirtiest bigmen who used dirty plays to gain and advantage(just ask Olajuwon).

3. John Stockton, used his "stock broker" looks to fool everyone into thinking he was a nice guy but would do whatever it took to get an unfair advantage including allegedly hitting opposing players in the groin.

2. Matt Harpring: very dirty player that I've seen go after people's knees and almost once broke Yao Ming's back with an extremely dirty play.

1. Shaq: Simply the DIRTIEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME.
The biggest bully the NBA's ever seen. Elbows defenders in the face, rams his shoulders into the defender, takes sucker punches at some of whom have their backs turned, commits flagrant 2 fouls on dunkers(even almost ENDED MJ and Vince Carter's careers after they tried to dunk on him).
During dunking on defenders he intentionally kicks them in the groin, knees them in the head, and elbows them after he lands, thows a quick forearm shiver on a guy 1/3rd his size(AK47), slapping Ostertag just because he shut Shaq down in the playoffs the previous year, etc.
Shaq NEVER EVER tries this kind of stuff on guys like Tractor Trailer or Anthony Mason whey they were guarding him, he's a CLASSIC coward and bully. I'd just love to see Mark Henry, Paul Wight or Dalip Singh give Shaq a taste of his own medicine.
Here are just a few of the tens of thousands of dirty plays Shaq has committed in his career.

Clearly this thread has nothing to do with the dirtiest players in the NBA, you just wanted to tell us how much you hate shaq. Grow some balls and just make a ****ty thread dedicated directly to that. Idiot.

You aren't biased..

Karl Malone and Bill Lambieer have my vote. I'll give the slight edge to Malone since he's given more players stitches.

Yeah, the same Isaiah Thomas who said he got stitches for a scrape?

I mean Karl Malone does do that stuff, but Isaiah Thomas is a....LIAR


Also, absolutely no bias that you have 3 Jazz players in there...mhm.

Matt Harpring...2? He isn't even dirty, he just plays tough. John Stockton and Karl Malone I can live with but that's just bull****, especially if he's higher than Karl.

Robert Horry...

[OldSchoolBBall]

Of the players I've seen:

1. Laimbeer
2. Rodman
3. Mahorn
4. Oakley
5. Jeff Ruland
6. K. Malone

Other guys (Stockton, Bowen) have been shady too, but not in the way some of these guys were.

[PistolPete]

Wow that's a weird list. Cartwright? Harpring?

How about Bruce Bowen, Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman, Robert Horry, Charles Barkley, Raja Bell?

[Sanity]

Wow this isn't agenda driven. Lol

I'll go with Darko Milicic cause he'll **** your daughter......Hard

[mrpibb]

No Houston Rockets bias here.

[nbastatus]

I loved the time Karl Malone knocked out some of Steve Nash's teeth. Malone was just plain mean.
