All Time Players You Would Never Want On Your Team?

What else is there to do in the dog days?

What players would you never want on your team, and why? For me it would be

Carmelo - A ballhog who makes everyone on his team worse
Rasheed - A talented A-hole
Dwight Howard - A fake good player
JR Smith - Head case
Ruben Patterson - Need I give a reason?
Russell Westbrook - Something about him - his grandstanding? - rubs me the wrong way

1/3 of mine are former Blazers : (

 

DeAndre Jordan
Josh Smith
Nolan Smith
Rudy Fernandez
Kobe Bryant

 

J.R. Smith

Travis Outlaw
Derek Anderson

JR Smith
JJ Hickson
Chris Anderson

Why not KG? You wouldn't want one of the best PF to ever play the game on your team?

 

Kobe, leads the NBA in one career statistical category; missed shots.

James Harden, is effective because of an ability to contort his body and embellish contact. The worst style of superstar basketball I've ever witnessed.

Steve Francis and Stephon Marbury; me first ball chuckers that made their teams worse.

Greg Oden. Yes the injuries are unfortunate but he handled them with no class, was out of shape, became a drunk, and bad mouthed a city full of many that supported him. Thats enough but he's also a domestic abuser.

JR Smith, Dion Waiters, Swaggy P, Enes Kanter are the types of players I can't stand to watch. They embody everything wrong about the NBA the last few years. They are basically the anti-Spurs anti-Hawks type of players. Selfish ball stoppers. Carmelo often looks this role but on team USA he was great so I do wonder about having him with good teammates. But he forced his way to NY and agreed to resign there so he's as much to blame as anyone for the Knicks problems.

Westbrook is a hell of a physical specimen that I enjoy watching from purely that angle but he would drive me nuts if he was on my team. I still wonder with a new coach who was a PG how he will do. I could see him making changes and becoming one of my favorite players. I've never seen a player play with that effort and athleticism. I would've loved to see him be drafted by the Spurs or another contender and learned some team first concepts early on. I'm hoping its not too late in his career for him to change.

Adam Morrision, Kelly Olynyk, Yi Jian Lian and Andre Bargnani are others I dislike.

David West ring chasing. It feels like cheating to me; similar to Malone and Payton joining the Lakers. The Wade/LeBron/Bosh trio taking less than the max to bring in others was like that as well. Its basically circumventing the salary cap. Be a real player and elevate a team to a contender while getting paid, then it actually means something if you win.

For Blazers its Damon Stoudamire, my least favorite of all time. He would overdribble every possession so the team was rushed into poor shots. Was an average 3 point shooter and that was his best skill. Terrible on defense, and a negative selfish attitude. I primarily blame him for those teams not winning titles. I'd rather have the rapist Ruben, fat Felton, angry Rasheed, spitting Bonzi, dogfighting Qyntel, lazy Darius, coke can pot smoking Rider, bar fighting Gary, or hoops family Randolph. Not to say Damon is a worse person then all of them; he's not. But in terms of play on the court that I have to watch as a fan he was the worst. Plus it was for so many damn years on that huge contract.

 

Say what?

 

I despise him more than any other player - he's a good version of LMA.

 

How did I neglect to add him to my list!?! Consider him added.

Might learn to tolerate Carmelo since he played defense on the team that won the gold medal but guessing he would drive me nuts. Having to watch Howard look like a HOFer one night and a basket case the next would be tough. Was similar to watching Rasheed but I accepted him for what he was. Seemed like the media was the one wanting more.

 

I can't improve this list. I adopt it.

 

I think KG might have more of that killer instinct than Aldridge though. KG is more aggressive.

 

I would have taken Isiah Thomas and Bill Lambier. They are players you hate when your on the opposite side but you love them on your team.
