The 50 Dirtiest Players in NBA History

http://goo.gl/GIgIP (完整圖文&影片版)

By Gabe Zaldivar  (Featured Columnist) on December 1, 2010

These here are the bad boys folks. Every sport has them. These are the ones
that put winning at so high on their list of priorities, they disregard
ethical decency to attain it.

These are the guys that you hate when they are on a different team but
absolutely adore when they are on your own. Whether it be constant elbows
being thrown or simply a propensity to flop, these players work on the line
separating lawful play from illegal venture.

You will find that there are two types of dirty athletes. There are those
that are acting out of frustration and those that are trying to get an edge.
All the while, these guys have added a huge dose of character to our beloved
game. They should be made into villains and thanked, in that order.

Here are your top 50 dirtiest NBA players of all time.<紅字為現役球員>

48. Gary Payton
49. Robert Horry
50. Christian Laettner

------------------------------------------

50. Christian Laettner
It seems that the NBA's top defenders fill out this list. It is fitting. In a
league that is geared towards scoring, a defender sometimes has to bend the
rules to make it a level playing field.

But I cannot disregard Laettner's ability to hold a grudge as he did in this
video.

49. Robert Horry
As you can see, there is an obvious transition in the NBA. What was considered
hard fouls a decade ago are now considered cheap shots.

Robert Horry is an older player that knows you sometimes have to deliver a
message along with a foul. Is this dirty? Yes. Is it necessary? Extremely.

48. Gary Payton
You didn't the greatest thief in the NBA wouldn't be here?

Gary Payton was a member of nine All-Defensive first teams. You don't get there
without cracking some eggs. Or at the very least grabbing some jerseys and
arms.

47. Vlade Divac
Right off the bat, I want you the reader to understand that I feel flopping is
 a dirty tactic. It is a lazy way around the rules. Sure there is contact, but
selling it to make it look like there was a foul is deplorable.

I liked Vlade Divac when he was on my Lakers in the 90s. But the one thing I
could never stand was that he was constantly on the floor. That is no way to
get an advantage. Vlade was the best at it.

46. Anthony Mason
Anthony Mason was a bit undersized to play power forward in the NBA. His brawn
and physical strength made up for that fact. Mason played hard and physical.

When he had to defend the bigger players of the league, he was known to give a
little extra. Shoves in the back and tugs of the shirt were a natural
occurrence of the day. Mason is one player that played so physically, it was
hard to determine if he was dirty or just extremely active.

45. Latrell Sprewell
Latrell was a tough defender that would not back down from any fight. But I
have to include him here for the utter lack of disrespect he showed to the his
coach and this fine league, when in 1997, he chocked P.J. Carlesimo.

During a Warriors practice, Sprewell felt he was getting criticized too much.

Some would call this getting coached. Either way, he choked his coach to the
ground. No, he wasn't kicked out of the NBA. Are you crazy? He went on to make
millions.

44. Jeff Ruland
Jeff Ruland was not supposed to be a starting center in the NBA. He was always
out there trying to prove his critics wrong. This may be why he played the way
he did.

Ruland was a tough burden for opponents to deal with down low. He liked to
impose his chip shot and would elbow or shove defenders to get that shot going.

He was also a beast to handle defensively. He was always a degree or two away
from full on groping.

43. Reggie Miller
Reggie Miller was an 80s-type player playing in the 90s. He would throw elbows
when the refs were conveniently not looking.

But what I recall him being the best at was creating open space to shoot the
ball with his arm. What Kobe Bryant has become very adept at, Miller started.

I would also like to mention that Cheryl's little brother could run his mouth
trash talking as well.

42. Dikembe Mutombo
Dikembe Mutombo is truly one of the nicest and most charitable players in NBA
history. But when he was on the low block, players had to watch for a multitude
of elbows.

There were many a nose that went there to die.

41. Manu Ginobili
Manu Ginobili plays to the beat of his own drum. On defense, he is a complete
handful. He has hands everywhere. He reaches and prods, and at some point,
the viewer has to ask, wasn't there a foul there? Sometimes.

But Manu Ginobili really shines in the art of flopping. He is the new dominant
flopper. Don't go near him or he will crumble under your presence.

40. John Starks
John Starks comes from the old school of basketball. His hey day was a time
when a player could play hard-nosed defense; today he is labeled as dirty.

He would bump and shove with the best of them. By the end of the game he had
worn out his opponent. That is what an NBA star should do. Today, he would lead
the league in penalties.

39. Kurt Rambis
Kurt Rambis was very good at doing the little things. He would scramble for
loose balls. He would put back a missed shot. But he was also a great defender.

He did an excellent job at getting under the skin of the opposition.

He did so well at it, that Kevin McHale almost killed him one time.

38. Rick Mahorn
Do you see what you could get away with back then?

Mahorn was physical on the court. He was the baddest of the Pistons "Bad Boys"
in 1989. He would do anything to create contact down low. It was the only way
he could compensate for his horrible jumping ability. I guess if you can't beat
them, shove them.

37. Zaza Pachulia
In a recent poll by Sports Illustrated, Zaza Pachulia was listed as the sixth
dirtiest player in the NBA currently.

Pachulia has absolutely no qualms about fouling and fouling hard. He will wrap
you up, give you a nice shoulder to the back, basically anything short of
boxing.

36. Clyde Lovellette
In his book, The Rivalry, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and the Golden Age of
Basketball, John Taylor recounts the extreme measures Clyde Lovellette would go
to in order to take down Wilt Chamberlain.

He is even told to have given Wilt a forearm to the jaw while the two were
running down the floor. It was truly a different era.

35. Dave Cowens
Dave Cowens was an all out menace on the court. On offense and defense, he only
had one speed. He gave it all he had and that entered into some very physical
play.

There is no way around getting into altercations when you are hand checking at
the speed he played at.

The easiest way to think of it was he Sasha Vujacic with talent.

34. Isiah Thomas
One thing you have to remember about the point guards of the 80s and 90s is
that they were smaller and more active. They have to drive to the hoop and mix
it up with much bigger men.

"Zeke" only measured 6' tall. It was only natural for him to get into the paint
and take advantage of the refs not looking. If there was an errant elbow or
even a trip while he was guarding you then well, so be it.

The ERA in the NBA is equivalent to the Wild West. They got away with a lot.

33. Kendrick Perkins
Perkins is already strong and malicious down low. He is bound to create
unwarranted contact. But what makes him a dirty star is his ability to get away
with the illegal pick.

32. Andres Nocioni
Andres Nocioni is tough, gritty and athletic if he plays for your team. For the
rest of us fans, he is dirty.

He is really the last bastion of the NBA enforcer.

If you wrong one of his teammates, you can be sure that Nocioni will be fouling
you hard later in the game.

31. Anderson Varejao
Anderson Varejao may look like a taller Justin Guarini from American Idol fame,
but he is much more sinister than that.

Anderson Varejao is the worst kind of dirty player. He will swing those lanky
arms and then act as if he was framed for the whole thing. It is that kind of
karma that killed the Cavaliers.

30. Sasha Vujacic
Sasha Vujacic is a loose cannon. Anytime he is in the game, it is as if Phil
Jackson shot him up with PCP and let him loose.

He is the NBA's best at riling the opponent with tough defense. Sometimes it
isn't even tough defense, it's just some annoying dude waving his arms in your
face.

29. Raja Bell
A dirty player will always remember. Sick of the stinging elbows, Raja Bell
went out to settle the score. He forgot to defend and was out for blood.

Bell was thrown from the game that day. Twenty years earlier, McHale was
allowed to play for essentially the same thing.

28. Paul Pierce
When you play Boston, tuck your shirt in. Paul Pierce is renowned to tug at
the shirt strings of players.

I have seen this go unchecked a bunch. It seems officials have the inability to
see someone's shirt get ripped from their body.

27. Matt Barnes
The now Lakers forward once took great pride in taking down the purple and
gold a rung. Besides his fight with Rafer Allston.

I submit that Matt Barnes has had his fair share of cheap shots. Here is one
against Ronny Turiaf who at the time is helpless in the air.

26. Bill Cartwright
When you go head-to-head with Patrick Ewing and Charles Oakley a few times a
year, you are bound to pick up a few things.

In order to hold his own in the rough and tumble east, Cartwright had to get
down right mean. Fierce was the only way to play back then. Cartwright was the
fierce competitor the Bulls needed to counter the Knicks and Heat of the 90s.

You can see him go medieval on Isiah Thomas at about the 2:20 mark in the video
.

25. Shaquille O'Neal
I hate to do this to the big fella but Shaq is dirty. I cut him slack because
he has been murdered down low his whole career with only half of the
infractions being called.

But O'Neal is famous for his elbows and arms he uses to clear out a defender.

For a while, it was not getting called because it looked like defenders were
flopping. But Shaq is really too big to put you to the ground with an errant
elbow.

24. DeShawn Stevenson
DeShawn Stevenson's best attribute in the NBA is his defense. Therefore, you
guessed it, he has been labeled as dirty by players and fans alike.

How dare a journeyman guard the likes of LeBron James, a man he once called
overrated. The above clip illustrates the feud admirably.

23. Maurice Lucas
Maurice Lucas was an "enforcer" when the NBA had such things. He would be the
fall guy to jump on the grenade when a fight or foul was needed.

In Game 2 of the 1977 Finals, he punched Darryl Dawkins in the back of the head
so he would fight him instead of the more valuable Bob Gross.

22. Vernon Maxwell
Mad Max was one hell of a three-point shooter. Only Reggie Miller could best
him on a consistent basis. But he did have a mean streak as you can see at
around the 3:00 mark on the video. His volatile personality would lead to
trouble on and off the court.

In 1995, he was suspended for punching a fan in the stands. If you needed an
example or anything.

21. Xavier McDaniel
X-man had a famous fight with Charles Oakley that actualy went into the stands.

But he was renowned to be mean to just about anybody.

Xavier McDaniel relayed his evil incarnation to the Seattle Times in 2007.

"Off the court I'm nice, but a different animal starts to come out of me when I
step on the court. I remembered one time Dennis Rodman punched me upside the
head and then he punched my [groin]. I already told the ref and they didn't do
anything, so I whopped his butt. They wouldn't let me out of the locker room
after the game because I was going to get him."

20. Danny Ainge
You would think Danny Ainge would be more comfortable behind the three-point
line then mixed up in various tussles. But his trash talking and hard way of
playing led to many encounters.

In 1983, he fought with Tree Rollins and called him a sissy. A decade later
he was trying to pick a fight with the greatest ever. In the '94 playoffs, he
fired a ball at the face of Houston Rockets player Mario Elie.

19. Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant should serve to accentuate the argument I have been making. Most
players that are dirty are looking for an edge. It is a constant search that is
ubiquitous through all sports. Bryant is extremely knowledgeable about that
game and has studied what you can and can't get away with.

It just so happens that pushing off and elbowing opponents does not get readily
called. Therefore, you have Bryant doing it on a nightly basis.

18. Charles Oakley
Charles Oakley lived for good old fashioned hatred between opponents. He liked
to get in your face or tie you up until you're sufficiently mad. If that meant
talking trash like he did in this video, he would do it.

In 2000, he punched Clippers guard Jeff McInnis in the face before the game
even started. Then in 2002, he shoved and hit Shaquille O'Neal with foul after
foul until a wrestling match broke out.

17. Mark Jackson
Mark Jackson was a guard in the NBA from 1987 to 2003. That is the span of time
where a point guard in the league did not only have to be quick and accurate,
they also needed to be tough.

Being the smallest guy on the court, you had to establish yourself as a hard-
nosed NBA player that would not back down from a challenge. Jackson would do
his fair share of holding and hitting. But it was a necessary evil in those
days.

16. Rasheed Wallace
Even if Rasheed Wallace was pulling out of a bank with stolen money in his
hands, he would look confused as to why you stopped him. The man was notorious
for hacking at hands and arms and then looking like he did nothing wrong.

The new rule about whining after the fact was made for Rasheed Wallace; it is
a shame he left before it could be put to use on him.

Wallace was the king of technical fouls. If you could be considered dirty in
the way you treat the official, well he would be the poster boy.

15. Charles Barkley
Barkley never backed down from a fight. If you pushed he would push back. But
many times, he would be the villain to start the whole thing.

I always remember the 1992 USA game versus Angola. The image of Barkley
elbowing an Angolan player can be found at the 3:20 mark. If you rubbed him
the wrong way, you knew it.

14. Brendan Haywood
Brendan Haywood is a big man that is not afraid to use his body to foul. He is
one of the well known hard foulers in the league.

More than that, he is not afraid to run from a fight. Haywood lives for the
type of scuffle that broke out in the preseason.

13. Chris Paul
Chris Paul is not afraid of a little dirty work. He is very adept at setting
an illegal pick or giving a forearm when no one is looking. He may even punch
a man in the groin like he did while playing at Wake Forest.

Chris Paul punched North Carolina State's Julius Hodge. He has gone onto an
illustrious career filled with incidents of less than ethical practices.

12. Ron Artest
Let's see...

The man was the catalyst for the greatest brawl in the history of the NBA. He
has fought teammates, opponents, fans. But has seemingly turned a new leaf in
his career.

Although his dubious past is not all behind him. He does manage to get in his
fair share of hand checking and reaching in infractions that go uncalled. I
have no idea what the NBA officials even get paid to do.

11. Brad Miller
Brad Miller's favorite weapon of choice is his forearm. He hit Shaq with it
once which resulted in a fight. He also did it years later to Trevor Ariza.

When the man is too lazy to defend, he will resort to violence.

As you can see in the video, sometimes players grow very tired of it.

10. Kevin Garnett
I am going to miss crazy Kevin Garnett running up and down the court when he is
gone.

He takes every little nuance of the game seriously. He invokes little rivalries
on the court to pump himself up.

He is known to take this to the next level many times. A quick look down low
when he is on defense will find Garnett throwing elbows or getting away with
some other brand of illegality. He is the king of chippy behavior and has made
the game better because of it.

9. Kenyon Martin
Kenyon Martin is exactly the guy that will shove you just to get a better
position.

When he was outplayed by Dirk Nowitzki in the 2009 playoffs, he resorted to
street ball.

Nowitzki was swift enough to get around Martin, so the slower player decided
he would just throw Dirk to the ground. Granted, we have all wanted to do the
same thing. That still does not make it right.

8. Kermit Washington
The satirical video posted shows the actual footage of Kermit Washington
hitting Houston Rockets Rudy Tomjanovich.

The hit broke Tomjanovich's face, leaving him a bloody mess on the court.

He was never the same player after the Kermit Washington hit.

7. Kevin McHale
This is what is meant by a hard foul. How many times during a game are modern
players just sitting there watching a layup sink through the hoop over them.

As you can hear in this video, the announcers at the time were saying this was
just part of the game. McHale received a foul for his actions.

Today, hewould have been thrown from the series.

6. Karl Malone
Karl Malone had quite the dirty duo up there in Utah. While Stockton is the
more renowned dirty player, Malone had his fair share of elbows to the face or
chest.

You can plainly see he is doing more than merely clearing the boards here.

5. Reggie Evans
Reggie Evans grabbed Chris Kammen's junk. He will never live that fact down.

You never ever grab another man's junk. If you are hanging on a precipice and
that is the only thing that would help you, you fall. It's the polite thing to
do.

4. John Stockton
John Stockton is one of the dirtiest of the dirty. I have to put him here
because he simply went years without anyone noticing. He would set awfully
illegal picks. Then while the opponent was on the ground in pain, he was free
to dish the ball or shoot.

It was always a treat to watch Stockton without the ball. I would see him run
around and drop elboms and shoves to players that weren't even guarding him.

By the end of the game, I wa hoarse from yelling at the amount of things he was
able to get away with.

3. Bruce Bowen
Bruce Bowen was the bet defender of his time. He could stop anyone from scoring
at will.

The Spurs had a valued asset in Bowen and the rest of the league cried foul.

Bowen's lock down defense bordered on mugging. He would get physical to be sure
, but it was a fine line that only Spurs fans felt was legal.

2. Dennis Rodman
Dennis Rodman was the perfect villain for the NBA. He was loud and boisterous.

He never swayed from controversy and always spoke his mind.

A graduate of the Bill Laimbeer school of hard knocks, Rodman left the Bad Boy
Pistons and took his act to many cities. He was an enforcer and agitator for
the Bulls and Lakers. He would get under your skin and smile when he knew he
had you.

1. Bill Laimbeer
Bill Laimbeer was the Bad Boy to end all Bad Boys. He was an enforcer that
could also score on you. Laimbeer was out for blood anytime he was on the court
.

He seemed to fight anyone that was willing at the time, Bird, Barkley, etc.

You name them, he fought them. He was such a fighter that Nintendo released a
game entitled Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball.
