    I'd put Scalabrine as #1. He gets paid 3+ million a year to sit on the bench and come in and suck for about 3-5 minutes a game. He must have THE life.

    I think Stephon's is the worst. Mainly bc he is a cancer.

The Bucks pay Dan Gadzuric $6 million a year (4 years left) to come in, play out of control and foul out in 10 minutes.

    LMAO 6 of them are Knicks. And how dare they put Toine up there?! Antoine pulling in $9M a year is not as bad as Theo Ratliff pulling in $11.

    Its funny how many Knicks are on there lol. I think Marbury should be first though since he's pretty much a headache and definetly not worth what he's being payed. I had no idea though that Kmart and Randolph were being payed so much. I have no idea how they got so much.

    Sure Scabs is freaking terrible, but alot of players in the league make 3 million that suck ass so it doesnt matter that much.
