Creating the Worst: NBA Player Edition


Everyone seems to be so obsessed with creating the best of the best. Whether it be ESPN creating the ideal tennis player or Cameltap creating the hottest woman it's all about creating the best of the best. Well it's time someone does the opposite, and create the worst of the worst.


THE BRAIN

Worst Decision Maker: Ron Artest, you could take this as worst decision maker on the court, but I took it as who I would least want to be running my mind. And Ron Artest is a runaway victor there. Having him make any decision would be very scary. Although his hairstyle may be better than the one chosen.

Best Tanker: Vince Carter, No one is quite as good as shutting it down as Vince Carter. If Vince wants to play like garbage to force a trade he will. No hoopster on the planet is better than Vince with the On/Off switch.

Least Coachable: Ricky Davis, Stephon Marbury could be a possibility here but Ricky Davis gets traded like nobody else and he attempted to give himself a triple double by throwing it off his own backboard. Classic move.

THE BODY

Worst Shot: Ben Wallace, Big Ben blows everyone out of the water with his inability to get anything outside of

Least Touch: Kendrick Perkins, another one could go to Shaq here, but Perkins can't hit any shot other than a layup or dunk. He's got zero touch with the basketball.

Worst Ballhandler: Dwight Howard, Dwight Howard is an absolute beast and gets a lot of touches, but he's third in the league in turnovers and doesn't nearly come close to the amount of control of the ball as the point guards he's surrounded by on the list. His assist to turnover ratio is .41.

Weakest: Kevin Durant, he can't bench press 185 pounds...

Worst Endurance: November Shaq, Shaq may get himself worked up and in shape come playoff time, but at this point in his career he is just one out of shape nbaer in the first month of the season.

Worst Defense: Eddy Curry, Curry is a beast on offense but he has zero ability to guard anybody at any point in time.

Most Brittle: Grant Hill, Another easy one. Grant's body goes down every single season, it's only a matter of time before the knees give out.

Least Athletic: Brian Scalabrine, there's probably someone out there less athletic than him. But whatever he had to be included as he's such a legend on this here site.

Slowest: Yao Ming, so what if he's 7 foot 6. It takes the guy forever to get up and down the court.

Ugliest: Sam Cassell, gotta have atleast one superficial category in this player. And Sam Cassell narrowly defeats Chris Kaman for the ugly award as he is the product of fish-alien sex.

Worst Hair: Chris Kaman, whatever the hair needed inclusion.

And finally...

Height: Earl Boykins, Many of the players featured here are able to overcome their defaults because of their size or athleticism or strength. But if you give this bad player the height of Earl Boykins, than they won't be good enough to make your High School's JV team.

Starbury needs to be somewhere on this list...

It can't be complete without him..

Worst dancer: Mark Madsen

Starbury was very much considered.

And I had Mark Madsen as worst shot for a sec, but than changed to Big Ben.

Although Madsen does hands down win the worst dancer award.

Worst Sneaker Endorsement: Starbury for his sneakers that retail for $14.95.

Worse Tatoos: Jason Williams. Although this might just be because he is white as can be. I bet Ricky Davis has some awful tattoos but they are just not as noticeable.

How is Kwame Brown not here? Seriously? Lakers fans everywhere are insulted. Please, Kwame's hands and finishing ability make Perkins look like Dwight Howard.

What Idiot uses assit-to-turnover as a measure of Centers??? Howard's TO rate is decreased from past, and his Dunking rate is way up - in fact his DUNK-to-turnover rate is 1.25 nobody else in the league comes close. Durant and Yao are turning the ball over as much, at a similar A/TO rate.

Worst hands: Kwame Brown (I am a Laker fan...not really dissing the guy...he is great defensivle, I just cringe everytime someone throws a hard pass his way in the paint)

Worst shot: Big ben is right...but Madsen and Shaq could easily take a spot there.

Worst hair: Kamen is a good fit...but Steve Nash should be there.

As a Laker fan, I could easily vote the worst decision maker (on court) as Smush Parker.

I think the whole player should have been completed with Portland and New York uniforms, representing the two most troubled and self-imploding teams in the NBA.

Kevin Durant may not be able to bench press 185 pounds but he can throw down 35 against Indiana and he can win the western conference rookie of the month... are you retarded dude... this kid is leading his team at 19... no one else can say that right now...

The worst hair in the NBA belongs to the euro player on the Rockets. It looks horrible. If there is a dress code there should be one for hair too.

how did you miss Jason Collins at worst shot? ;)
Cause he rarely shoots anyway?

What's wrong with making sneakers that kids can afford? Starbury's are priced in a way that is actually realistic for a lot of people who want to buy them, as opposed to $150 Nikes.

Worst during last 4 minutes - Kobe - scores 45 in the first 44 minutes, then bricks the game winner, everytime
second worst - Vince Carter

Worst Birth-control user: Shawn Kemp. It seems he's got an illegitimate child for every pound overweight he is.

I am pretty sure you described me, asshole. Just kidding, great article!

Worst D shoulda been Lebron - if he played any defense at all, he could be the greatest of all time. Instead, he's just another very talented player...

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
