Sħãlïq™ Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) 20 Laziest Players in the NBAhttp://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/001/855/590/113257713_display_image.jpg Despite being paid more in a year than most of us will make in a lifetime, professional athletes tend to exhibit laziness on and off the court. It's extremely disappointing to see this from these athletes when you consider just how much they're getting paid to play the game that they grew to love. These players are either overweight, prone to mental lapses or subject to playing hard on one end of the floor. Usually those players are offensive players and not much more. Even players that score 20 points or more could be deemed as lazy if their work ethic is brought into question on the defensive end. If that player is able to work hard enough to score 20 points against an NBA defense, there shouldn't be any problems with at least attempting to keep up with their defensive assignment. Instead, some NBA players would prefer to play to their fullest potential on one end and then simply go through the motions on the other end. These players are just as bad as the ones that have perennial weight problems or go through mental lapses. It's not fair to the teammates when one player is failing to emit their energy to its fullest potential on the defensive end. So in no order, here are 20 of the laziest players currently in the NBA: Laziest Players in the NBA Edited February 10, 2012 by Šhãłïq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentch Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have no idea why Boris Diaw wasnt on that list. 25 mins, 0 points. Thats about as bad as you can get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) this guy equates throwing elbows with laziness. awful article. he also seems to forget that injuries really ended McGrady's tenure as a superstar player. maybe he should call Grant Hill lazy or something Edited March 2, 2012 by Lkr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 This is so incredibly stupid. How is Baron Davis lazy? The guy has come back from a herniated disk, one of the worst injuries you can have in basketball, and is playing pretty well. He's had an awesome career and he's lazy? A guy like Eddy Curry on the list I could see, but how could you put a legitimate Superstar on the list? Lol. No credibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yeah a lot of ppl write stuff on there just for reaction, like Skip Bayless on ESPN, says shit just for reaction. Sometimes you find worthwhile stuff there but unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.t.a.t. Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Honestly I can almost agree with everyone on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
