In no order, list the most passionate players in the NBA, by your thoughts. By this, I don't mean passion by their emotions on the court. Also take into account their longevity, if their a gym rat, along with their emotions. Kobe Bryant Gilbert Arenas Kevin Garnett Jason Kidd LeBron James Dwyane Wade Caron Butler Dirk Nowitzki Kenyon Martin Chris Paul I know my list is shady, but I'm tired.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting NBA MAN:</div><div class="quote_post">Its not really a good question. You don't know who is really trying.</div> What are you talking about? There are plenty of articles about Kobe, Wade, and Arenas locking themselves in a gym. Once, Arenas locked himself in a gym overnight with a fridge of chinese food and gatorade, that's all. You can see the passion they play with. Is Garnett not the most passionate player on the court? It's a perfectly fine question, you just have to think about it.
AI, I forgot about him, lol. I think you can add Morrison to the list. The way he has to keep himself in shape, in check with his health and his BS, I think he easily makes the list.
Kobe Bryant Gilbert Arenas Kevin Garnett Chris Paul LeBron James Dwyane Wade Ben Gordon Andres Nocioni Kirk Hinrich Steve Francis (yeah...) Allen Iverson Paul Pierce Jameer Nelson Dee Brown
^ For sure, Tyrus might be more passionate than anyone in the NBA. Alonzo Mourning anyone? Rasheed Wallace, discounting the anger. Mike James.
Zo is probably the most passionate player in the league. Mike Bibby also comes to mind. Vince Carter and Paul Pierce do to.
Zo. The guy is a show all by himself after a big play, there's lots of players who talk about "leaving it all on the floor" and "playing every minute like it's your last" but Zo's the only one that actually does it. In the title run he exemplified that and the opposing team's moral was just growing weaker and weaker knowing they would not get near the basket without a hard block or hard foul. They eventually just accepted it as an inevitabilty and started settling for jumpshots. It's funny cuz a lot of people hate Zo but you know deep down they would love to have a player who plays the game as hard as he does. The minute you experience what he brings to your team he'll win your heart.
Ok, I get. You don't know who really practices the hardest but sometimes I can tell who plays the hardest. Bryant Garnett Mourning Nocioni
Allen Iverson......, he's most passionate, he's still staying for Philly....and he has no ring yet....Also Kobe and Garnett, but I think AI deserves this title the most. ^ Alonzo Mourning.....
