Actually lots of people hate Yao because hes soooooo over-rated and his country sux his dick...not to offend ANYONE. But i always thought MJ was most likeable or Magic, but right now probably Shaq.

Yao, because he happens to be a real person. Tim Duncan for the same reason.

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.

show me where it says personality... go on... show me

it is about most likeable players you dumass, thus the name MOST LIKEABLE PLAYERS


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

thats actually two questions right there... are you done digging your own hole yet?

man how could i forget to mention Nocioni. He's always hustling out there, goes to the basket strong, even added a 3pt shot to his game, plays tough defense (Y)

Shaq for being funny as hell. At least when he wants to, like on all star weekend.
Ray Allen for being every mother's dreamboy.
Mutombo is crazy, I like him too.
And of course Charles Barkley, although he ain't playing no more: "Go back to Damon Jones' coat!" or "You can be skinny and have a great body. See, I'm fat and I have a great body." :mrgreen:

Shaq I hate. No way should Artest be anywhere on this list. Ginobili pisses me off too. Gets away with a lot of carries and walks. Same for Tony Parker, plus for the fact that he's with Eva Longoria. Duncan's boringness makes me hate him.

Too likeable to me are Wade, Brand, Nash, and Grant Hill.

Hill'd be the posterboy.

so now you're telling people who they should like and not like? :x

NYK and their fan base would be lucky if Curry had an ounce of Artest's intsensity & hustle

i like nocioni how he hustles and stuff, i love watching AI, goes after every loose ball, doing sick crossovers breaking guys ankles, but i cant stand it when players complain, whether it be about missed calls or w/e, thats the only thing i dont like about him, i also dont like d wade, hes to boring during interviews and stuff, and i dont like how he falls down after EVERY drive, even if its just an open dunk, shaqs funy durin interviews and at the all star game, same with vince, he was hilarious in all those interviews on nba.com during the all star game.... i like damon j, mostly for the reasons said^^

The most likeable gay in this league is without a doubt Reggie Evans for me :) Thou the only things that he does are rebound( like a monster. i have'nt seen this since Rodman) and play D the way he does. The offence is total crap, the freethrows are ugly, he even looks shitty. But he loves the game and you can see that. He'll most probably never be a star but he is one of my favourite players of this era for sure 8-)
wtf?

lol Moochie is awesome



I think the key here is who has the least amount of people that hate them... so I think someone like Elton Brand or Chris Bosh who have played for bad teams you can't help but be sorry for them.

Earl Boykins-Being Such a small great player, a role model for all of us midgets :mrgreen:.

Andre Iguodala-Personal Opinion, great dunker, shooter, defender, hustler, very likeable player, donates money to charity.

Mutombo, with his cookie-monster voice and good guy personality, is tough not to like. Manute Bol was cool.

Earl Boykins and Nate Robinson are likable little guys. Muggsy Bogues too.

I don't mind Eddie Jones, or P.J. Brown either.
