Ostertag & McIlvaine always made me want to cry watching them.

[stridge]

he made a decent impact with his shot blocking

no where near worst player ever status

Listing the worst players is practically impossible. The worst players to ever play in the NBA in most cases didn't play more than 10/20 games over the span of their career and didn't contribute anything to their teams.

You'll end up with guys like Paul Shirley (18 career games for 3 different teams, 0 starts, 1.8PPG on .395FG.)or Ernest Brown (3 career games, 1PPG, .167 FG, 1TOpg, 1FPG).

In this thread I see players who made a couple of rosters, started games, scored over 5PPG for their careers etc. (one even led the league in blocked shots once ). Nowhere near the worst players ever..

And yes, I actually have this card.

Ostertag & McIlvaine always made me want to cry watching them.

That contract McIlvaine got in '97 was ridiculous.

[VIP2000]

And being a Magic fan...





BTW, Ostertag is nowhere near the worst player ever. He could rebound, block shots and take up space...

This thread is ridiculous, and to prove it, someone listed Greg Kite, who averaged 15 mpg over a 12 year career. How could one of the worst players to ever play in the NBA stick around for 12 years, averaging 15 mpg?

The worst players ever were guys in the 40's and 50's that played only a few games, and then got cut.

Quinn & Gill are 2 of the most useless PG's I can remember watching. Not sure how highly they would rank.

Worst NBA player I've ever seen:

Are you serious? Chris Quinn is pretty good when he gets the chance. Decent backup PG. He's nothing special, but to call him useless is just wrong.

[Zan Tabak]

And yes, I actually have this card.

Yeeeech!...I cringe every time I see Rafael Araujo.

[JohnnySic]

"Worst player" is a very subjective idea..............to me the worst player is someone who underwhelmed given their expectations, not some borderline-at-best NBA talent who played 5 game and had low stats.

[G-Funk]

they were so bad i forgot their name.

[step_back]

Greg Ostertag? He might not look like an NBA player but the guy could rebound and block shots. He was also a good runner and quite fast for his althletic ability.

I think my choice for worst NBA player would have to be Yinka Dare

110 career games

Career averages

MPG = 9.1 minutes
PPG = 2.1
RPG = 2.6
FG% = 39%

Those stats from a 7 ft 265lbs Center.
