of course there is Ron Artest, but there are some others out there that take it too far sometimes.Andres nocioni is definitely on my list.
Bruce Bowen, as he really does appear to try to hurt people. Ron Artest plays really tough D, and sometimes dirty, but not to the extent that Bowen does.
Bruce Bowen definetly, hes the worst in the league, theres been many times when hes deliberately done stuff to other people.remember this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLgHeeOZJFI

Its not like he goes out there during the game and is like "alright, im going to kick Wally in the face, Or hey "im going to land under Vince Carter". Things just happen.....The Vince Carter thing was obviously NOT on purpose. When you box out in basketball, sometimes you go under the person. I used to do it all the time when i played and its not because i meant for the person to fall, it was just a reaction to box out.
Honestly I think players bi*ch too much about Bowen being dirty just because he's so tough on the defensive endAnders Nocinoi and Reggie "Kaveman Nuts Grabbing" Evans

VC scored over 40 on Bruce that game, and Bruce retaliated in his own way. He is always doing cheap little things to hurt and get in people's heads. It's part of his charm, but it is dangerous.

I dont understand how that would be considered, "trying to hurt people". I watch the spurs alot more than you. you are talking out of ur ass.
Umm no, he does more than just tug on people's jersey's. He positions himself so people land on him (he has hurt more than one person doing this, and does this far more than any other player in the league), he does that kick thing, and just does a ton of things to get in your head. Again, it is what makes hima great defender, but he goes by doing it in a dirty way.
Manu also does a lot of things that the refs dont see, same with Nocioni. Those international players...
Bruce Bowen is NOT a dirty player. He's a hell of a defender. Sure he gets physical and gets in his opponents face, but he doesn't try to hurt people. Don't even bring up the Vince Carter incodent, VC over-exagurated.I say the dirtiest player is Raja Bell, when he and Kobe match up. He flops, fakes thins, throws sneaky elbows, etc. Fortson is on here as well, he's a loser. Reggie Evans will forever be in my mind on this topic due to what he did to Kaman. You don't go after someone's family jewels like that.
