Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Sometimes you see a guy who just looks disinterested while playing or has a lot of talent and never cares to develope his game. One guy that fits this is Kwame Brown, he's very lazy and it's known that hes the first one out of practise. He never develops his game and looks like he doesn't give a sh*t half the time. Any other examples?

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Stephon Marbury has seemed to lost interest in it. He puts forth no effort like he used to. He could be top 10 in scoring right now.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Well you didn't state whether you wanted to be "Elite" or not,but Mark Blount falls under this category.He plays for the money and it just looks like he really doesn't give a crap about whats going on.His team might lose by 50 and he'll still be pleased because hes getting his dollars.

Jerome James anyone?

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Jerome James is mentally retarded though, he shouldn't count...

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Tim Duncan looks retarded and dis-interested at all times?.. :closedeyes:

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

lol, timmy does look like this: all the timebut i'm sure he likes winning.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

just about the entire knicks team.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

^ Yea, towards the end of the season the whole team was just looking sulky. I would have to agree with Kwame on this lost as well, he looks dazed and confuzed out on the court.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Hmm, thats funny. I could've sworn I saw the same exact topic on RealGM. :happy0144: Anyways, there's a chance that AI might not really like it, because I'm pretty sure he entered the NBA just for getting his family out of the hood, and getting other stuff for his family that they didnt have before. His first love was Football, but this might not be true.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

I think the topic was referring to who puts the least effort into the game,if you watch Iverson play you would say he loves the game because he puts full effort.Now when you see the players listed above playing the game you say they really don't care.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

I'm kind of confused on what this topic is about. If their not interested in playing, why are they in the league? If you mean they simply look disinterested then I'd say Erick Dampier, doesn't show a lot of emotion on the court. But I'm pretty sure he likes playing basketball.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Yeah, I guess you're right. When you dont like a sport, you obviously dont put alot of effort into it. Therefore AI doesnt fall into that category. My bad.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Kwame Brown, Eddy Curry, Rasho Nesterovic.

If you see him play, if you watch his competitiveness on the court, you'd know it.

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Alot of people,I'm sure if you worked in a fast food restaurant you wouldn't care for your job rather then the money.Some people just want the dollars and there are plenty of them out there.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Darius Miles, the guy walks off the court during the game and basically quits like a little baby. He's such an example of why players should go to college.

 

Re: Players who just don't seem to really like basketball.

Vince Carter lost it with the Raptors. But, I don't blame him there. But, Marbz doesn't play with his heart as much anymore.
