Arrogant NBA PLAYERS

[The Future]

I guess most of them are only in it for the money

Take GP for example... he might quit cuz of the team hes on.. give mea break! If i were in the NBA Id love to be on anytime..the oppunirtunity is a gift....

Man these players should stop whining and play basektball!

Yeah let's shoot the ball

You dont understand Gary Paytons situation, if he would only care about the money he wouldnt sign with the Lakers in the first place. He does want to play for the Celtics, but he doesnt want to play IN Boston, he doesnt want to move his family from the west to the eastcoast over and over.

Arrogant players do not only care about the money, they think/know they are better then anyone else.

Kevin Garnett
Kobe Bryant
Tracy McGrady
Shaquille O´Neal
Allen Iverson
LeBron James

etc are all arogant in my eyes

[Donte Thomas]

that is so true

[Riot]

depends on what you call arrogant. Arrogant in the NBA is different than arrogant in our lives.

It's a buisness and they do what's best for them.

[Donte Thomas]

well to me, it seems some do it for money. me growing up watching jordan play and magic and others, they did it for the love. that's why i play. back in the day, it's for love, nowadays, people talkin bout, i want 9 mil a year. just shut up and play.

i dont think lebron james should be on the list

He has a freakin "Chosen One" tattoo on his back

[Riot]

KG SHOULDN'T BE ON IT EITHER!

[Donte Thomas]

No, actually Riot's right. KG shouldn't be on that list. KG isn't as cocky as other players, and doesn't really complain about money either, you hardly even hear him say anything about money and plus,i haven't seen his house on mtv cribs, and bet's how i'm living. he goes out and plays, shows his emotion, and wins. kobe nah. shaq. nope.

[MikeBibby]

yeah but still....thas good if he belives in himself and he dont mean hes the best .....all this hype that was around him of course u gonna out that and cavs choose him u still have a good point

[Donte Thomas]

well everything MikeBibby said is true. but a "chosen one" tattoo, that's just too much. the only reason he probably beacuse he was nationally known in his sophomore year. but if i were him, i'd put it on, when i'm for sure i am a future hall of famer, he might have that tat on all his life, and he might only have a career of 12,000 points, which is really sorry. so it just might be, a waste.

[Riot]

he can be a "chosen one" in things other than basketball.

[.]

He has a high ego of himself anyway, I think that also describes cockyness

[Donte Thomas]

like karokee
no really. have you seen haunted mansion. he could be one of those dudes. the deep voice one, going bop,bop,bop,bop. sorry bout off topic comment.

[.]

I dont really get that....Am I dumb now?

[Donte Thomas]

nah. i am. it was funny to me at that time. cause i'm
watching tempations the movie.

[Sauru]

just need to say, someone mentioned that kg dont care about the money. thats wrong. KG refused to play til they paid him over 100 mil. it happened awhile ago but it still happened. i dont think he would do that now but that kid flat our refused to play til they gave him the biggest contract ever. then he had the nerve to say at the press conference that it was not about the money.

[Bill Russell]

I'll pick just one player, whom I think embodies everthing that is wrong about the NBA nowaday: Stephon Marbury

I didn't know that. man. i thought my idol did it for the love. oh well. kg for mvp.

[Jackal]

I don't know if we could say he's arrogant, but he seems pretty damn cocky to me. The "he"? Shaquille O'Neal...

He under-rates opponents (see the Queens fiasco, albeit funny as hell.)

I think he does it to psyche himself up, but it comes off as arrogance.

I'd say Kobe too, but I think that's how he's made out to be because he's so self involved. He doesn't really do much (not counting Kathleen Faber)...

[Riot]

KG didn't refuse. But come on, that doesn't make him arrogant now does it? Everyone in the NBA wants to be paid 100 + mill KG has the ability to actually get it though.

And in most of these talks about contracts the player really has no say. The agent is normally the one being greedy, not the player.

[Donte Thomas]

thats true, but when you are that good, you should deserve money for working your ass off and getting paid 30 mil.but what about kobe's contract. 136.4 mil / 7 yrs. , does that sound arrogant.

[Sauru]

gotta remember he was also young. i dont think he would do it again.

[Bill Russell]

That does sound like richness!
