Most likeable players?

Wow, did you know "likeable" is like the word "gray" in that there are two accepted spellings?

Anyway, who do you think is the most charismatic and likeable player in the NBA? And why?

Yao Ming
Lebron James
Dwyane Wade
Jason Kidd
Steve Nash
Or someone else?

Yao
VC
Wade
Kirk hinrich
Steve
Kidd
Shaq (he is too funny for anyone to hate)

by **Fenix** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 4:09 am

Brand, Big Ben, Kidd, Nash, Yao...

I'm sure Johny Stockton was at his time. Now, I guess, there's no such player. You'll always find Kobe/Bron/KG/TD haters. As most likeable, maybe, Amare? Bosh?

by **Deadmaninc** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 6:31 am

Vince Carter, Dwyane Wade, Shaq, LeBron, Kidd and Yao
for me, the most likeable player is Dwyane Wade

Funny enough I dont like Wade as much as I did as before he was with Shaq. Now I think he is a tad too cocky.

i like defensive players like kirilenko and the 2 wallaces, ben and gerald

wtf are you talking about... this is personality, not how much you like their game.

And for me, aside from the obvious one's already said... I would pick Eric Snow and Zo.

uhh Lebron, Ben Wallace, Vincanity, d wade, shaq, and Andrew Bynum

by **kevC** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:10 am

Moochie Norris, as long as he's not playing.

by **Its_asdf** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:12 am

Dwight Howard seems like a very down to earth person.

by **dada** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:13 am

Nate Robinson is very likeable. Some might not agree that this applies to his game thought.

@Cyanide: This is where I wanted to post.

by **TRUball** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:23 am

Luke Walton.

by **air gordon** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 9:52 am

Manu Ginobili & Dwayne Wade for their willingness/no fear attitude of driving into the lane. Plus they both have a flare for the dramatic

Ron Artest for his defensive prowess and overall hustle & effort

Ben Gordon for the having the nuts to take/make big shots even if going into the 4th qtr he's shooting 2-10

Elton Brand, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett for being consummate professionals. it seems like every game these guys are giving their all

and Yao Ming cuz he's asian :crazy:

by **j.23** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:14 am

i like damon jones, just for the sake of comic relief. at the same time though, he's also the one that pisses me off the most when he's cold and doing jack shit.

by **Fitzy** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 10:51 am

jason kidd, sheed, okur and ron mercer (by me anyway)

by **Jackal** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 11:12 am

[Bryant fan] Kobe Bryant, for his unmatchable skills, the fact he's going pretty much nowhere for awhile, his swagger, his determination, his ability to fuck white ugly white women when having a nice little cow girl at home & showing the amount of love he holds for her by buying her a large ass diamond & putting on a hideous tattoo. [/Bryant fan.]

On a more serious note, most likeable player for me right now is Tim Duncan, quiet, does his thing quietly, said to be very funny amongst regulars (team mates, coaches, anyone close) and not cocky.

Amare's also a big favorite right after Shaq.

by **The X** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 12:02 pm

a few Dukies are likeable in Elton Brand, Shane Battier & Grant Hill....
token white guys are likeable like Luke Walton, Paul Shirley & Sean Marks....
most Suns' players are likeable, guess it has to be the style of play or something....
young players are likeable until their egos get the better of them....

by **Riot** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 12:02 pm

Mark Madsen and Fred Hoiberg!

Maybe you don't know what charisma means? I doubt the thread creator intended this to be a "who is your favorite player" thread... firstly, most of us already know who is each other's favorite(s), and it is also posted in the "Get to know each other" thread.

I know there's Bulls bias involved, but Ben Gordon comes across as being quite likeable. I admire his professionalism and the way he accepts his role no matter how Skiles wants to use him. Sad state of affairs when the coach's mouth runs more than the player's.

Wow how come you can come up with 5 of my least favourite players lol

edit: o anyway, my picks are Duncun, Howard, and Battier

by **MetalHead** on Thu Mar 23, 2006 1:26 pm

Artest and Marion for diving after every loose ball.

Steve Nash, for representing us Canadians. Oh, and he plays basketball too.

Yao Ming, cause my dad will never think he's any good, no matter what.

And Tracy McGrady, for getting back spasms whenever anything important happens. :roll:

Most likeable players?
