POLITICAL DIVISION
51. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Denver Nuggets: His refusal to stand for the national
anthem before games earned him a brand of hatred that transcends sport.
LEGITIMATE JERKS DIVISION
68. Bonzi Wells, 4 teams: Threatening the all-time record for being "absent
due to personal reasons."
69. J.R./Isaiah Rider, 5 teams: Threw a milk shake at a Jack In The Box
worker; convicted of assault for kicking a female sports bar manager; spat at
hecklers; once pulled a woman into his car against her will. Other than that,
super guy.
BIG MAN STIFFS DIVISION
80. Benoit Benjamin, Seattle SuperSonics: Did a better job perfecting the
confetti trick with the Harlem Globetrotters than he did scoring in the NBA.
81. Rafael Araujo, Toronto Raptors: Three years after the Raptors drafted him
eighth in the draft, he's now plying his trade with Spartak St. Petersburg in
Russia.
82. Greg Ostertag, Utah Jazz: Reader Clint Cunningham says: "We hate him.
We hated our GM for reacquiring him for his last season. He has a Fred
Flintstone tattoo, was bitch slapped by Shaq and appeared in 'Eddie' with
Whoopi Goldberg. ... What is not to hate?"
83. Bryant Reeves, Vancouver Grizzles: Oh, the venom that's been spewed over
the years because of GMs' big-man fetishes.
POWER FORWARDS DIVISION
84. Derrick Coleman, New Jersey Nets: The poster child for unrealized
potential, the former No. 1 pick's path to superstardom was derailed by
alcohol abuse, weight gain and a lousy work ethic.
85. Chris Webber, Golden State Warriors: Though not the malcontent Coleman
was, C-Webb's legacy in the Bay Area is still one of disappointment, as his
feud with Don Nelson paved the way for an eventual 65-cents-on-the-dollar
trade out of town.
86. Rasheed Wallace, Portland Trail Blazers: Broke the NBA record for
technical fouls in a season, then broke his own record a year later. He also
earned a seven-game suspension for threatening referee Tim Donaghy after a
2003 home game. Hmmm ...
