    okay but dumbass isnt asshole.

    the guy who falls for the bait is a dumbass.
    The bait planter is the asshole.
    Lets stop blaming the reaction of others instead of the actions of the instigators…

    I cant stand that mentality.

    one person pokes, another person poles back.
    The focus should not be on the retaliation… it should be on the initiator CREATING the problem. Not the one being defensive about it, even if its an overreaction.

    i have little respect for people who start shit and then point fingers at the person who returns fire.

    A bunch of "Fan" takes on here. Obviously the players are players that Blazer Fans don't like on the court. So someone is a Jerk because they got into an altercation with another player on twitter or committed a Technical Foul?

    I have played sports all my life. I am a huge competitor. I am a "Jerk" i guess because i most certainly have pushed buttons on the court/field and i have absolutely got myself into altercations with other players.

    Bunch of Players (Not fans) say Durant, Paul, Westbrook, are some of the best teammates they have ever had. Why isn't LeBron in this conversation? Obviously MJ was an ass but Clyde was so cheap he wouldn't tip waitresses. Who's the jerk?

    Always interesting to see people type, “I heard, or somebody told me” about so in so. Just curious where/how these people get this info and what was the context of their interaction. One example…..people always thought LA was a dick, but he wasn’t at all. Just VERY shy. And one of the nicest dudes I’ve met in the league was ZBO.

    For me its if a player plays dirty all the time and is arrogant about it. I cant judge him for his off court persona as I don't know them.
    I though K Malone's game was borderline dirty and he had an arrogance about it too. Hell of a player though.
    I think Grayson Allen has been humbled some in te pros but that guys was dirty in college and an arrogant as hell.

    Ya, I think the thread should be called, who's game do you hate the most or who's the biggest dick on the court.

    I disagree. I’ve seen Durant treat reporters very rudely, and his comments about the actor Michael Rapaport were extremely vulgar.

    Mathew Dellavedova is said to be a jerk on and off the court.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    CP3, it probably depends on whom you talk to. Some people obviously like him, but he wore on the nerves of plenty of his teammates.

    Definitely ON the court. He is a pest.
    I have had 2 interactions with CP3.....once in a hotel lobby and he was real cool. Once at a dinner WITH some of our players and was SUPER cool. Hate him as a player though.

    Cool guys I’ve actually interacted with:

    KD
    Steph
    Kerr
    Klay
    Zaza
    Shaun L
    Redick - great guy
    Sprewell
    Joe smith
    Mark Price - awesome

    Coaches-
    Lenny Wilkens
    Majerus
    PJ Carlesimo was…charismatic
    Rod Higgins - best dude ever
    Phil Jackson
    Twardzik - favorite.

    Not great:
    Mullin
    Pat Riley
    Adelman
    Bird

    And Jerry Sloan almost punched me in the face once when I thought it would be hilarious to loosen a salt shaker not knowing he of all people would be sitting down with us. He and Riley also chain smoked cigs. Like 100% pre and post game. I’m sure at halftime too.

    Friends of my son who went to OSU and one who red shirted on the basketball team there said Gary Payton II is a real asshole ...he wasn't liked very much by his teammates...don't know if that carried over to his NBA experience
