Owner Real Deal Posted August 21, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 If it was more about guys that are cocky and, yet, can't back it up as an all-star player...well, I'd be posting a list of 100 guys. There are a lot of them. DeShawn Stevenson comes to mind. JR Smith, Brandon Jennings, Ron Artest (no longer an all-star, of course), Eddie House, Rafer Alston (when he played), Lance Stephenson...quite a few of them out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 C - Shaquille O'Neal | Dikembe MutomboPF - Charles Barkley | Kevin GarnettSF - Larry Bird | Paul PierceSG - Michael Jordan | Kobe BryantPG - Gary Payton | Isiah Thomas Love RD's list, except I'd replace Artest with Paul Pierce and Van Exel with Zeke. I think Kobe and Reggie Miller are neck and neck. It's that close. I just looked up some of the quotes from these players, and they're hilarious. Larry Bird: "As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me-red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game." Gary Payton: "You won't even be in the league next year." -to NBA scrub Jamie Feick (Feick actually lasted two more years) Isiah Thomas: “[Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are] 6-(feet)-9 and Jordan was 6-6 and a half. If they were all 6-1, it wouldn't even be a question. They wouldn't even [expletive]ing rate. If they were all my size, shit, they wouldn't even be talked about. I beat the shit out of them when they were that big. If we were all the same size, [expletive].” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 LOL payton's quote is gold. I'd give Reggie the nod over Kobe though, Reggie talked so much shit during games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted August 21, 2012 Owner Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I almost put Zeke in there, but NVE always huffed and puffed in games, made strange noises at players, and trash-talked everyone. Really a toss-up for me, I guess...NVE just stood out a bit more because he wasn't a superstar. And I had to put Ron on that list because, not that long ago (meaning, this summer), he said something about how he is still an all-star player (or something along those lines). He flexes his muscles during games, blows kisses to the crowd when he hits a big shot in G7 of the NBA Finals, got in Kobe's face numerous times back when he was in Houston, and trash-talked everyone he defended as a Pacer. A lot of people never knew Bird talked so much trash...but yeah, he was pretty bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Allen came through not long after that, however, hitting the record-breaking 2,651st three of his career from nearly the same spot where he tied the record just a few minutes earlier. It came in transition after a perfect pass from Rajon Rondo with 1:47 remaining in the first quarter. Allen received handshakes and hugs from Miller, who was in the house and sitting courtside as part of TNT's broadcast team. "It just shows you, when people ask me, 'you've got to be a little bit upset or bitter?' Why? First of all, all records are made to be broken," Miller said when it happened. "I had a conversation with Ray earlier tonight and he was like, 'when I was a rookie and I came to Market Square Arena and I saw you for three, three and a half hours before (the game) shooting, that's how I wanted to patent my game.' "I'm just so happy for him because this is one of the best guys. He's so humble, he's so giving, he's a great family man and I'm excited. This is great. This is great for the game of basketball. Everything I know now . . . the pitfalls, the highs and lows, everything . . . it taught me and made stronger. At the end of the day, what brought me back here was my players, the guys I've played with. That meant more to me than anything Sounds pretty cocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
