Tons of jerks / temperamental players, but if it's kind of a Players Who Terrify Teammates, seems like Kobe, Garnett and CP3 are a cut above the rest.

Although it's more fun listing an All Pout team, dudes who will go out of their way during gameplay to prove points (Kobe refusing to shoot, Rondo going for double-figure assists, etc.)

rondo is totally a jerk, kg is just like an intimidating berserker but if he approves of you he will defend you to the death apparently, not a jerk in my book

kobe is a transcendant supervillain who would disintegrate you with laser-eyes for even considering his place on a mere "jerk scale"
― joe smith avatar (agent hibachi), Sunday, 9 June 2013 01:24 (eleven years ago) link
i feel like a lot of good point guards are kind of jerks- cp3 is definitely, deron absolutely, rondo...

Can't decide if Monta is a jerk or not

oh most definitely
― joe smith avatar (agent hibachi), Sunday, 9 June 2013 01:38 (eleven years ago) link
though maybe im conflating "takes lots of low-percentage shots" with "is a jerk"
tbf if you do that you are basically a jerk.

there was the whole thing where he said he couldn't coexist with steph on the basketball court.
and yeah, he's a gunner whose confidence in his GS teammates fluctuated (haven't been following him on the bucks)
Melo seems like he'd be really unpleasant based on his game but idk maybe he's chill.

melo is def a jerk, he fake-tried to fight kg outside over some basic trash talk, weak
― joe smith avatar (agent hibachi), Sunday, 9 June 2013 02:01 (eleven years ago) link
KG prime time trolled him though.
― Poster The Sheeple (Spottie_Ottie_Dope), Sunday, 9 June 2013 02:12 (eleven years ago) link
kg is def not a jerk, he is an insane person. jerks are petty malcontents. melo seems more like a spoiled brat who hates not getting his way.

Argh eff Kidd for depriving us this year from the chance to finally see a player-coach in the 21st century. Knicks would've been a hell of a lot more interesting to watch if there were always the chance Kidd would rip off his suit and check himself in arghghghghghgh.

Chauncey Billups won NBA's Teammate of the Year. He then went on First Take and called Blake Griffin soft.

side q to kevin k: was it a good idea to fire karl?
― brimstead, Saturday, 15 June 2013 03:23 (ten years ago) link
it's difficult to hate the guy and i think he's a great regular season coach, especially (as matt called it earlier) as a manager of a group of knuckleheads like the nuggets, but at times it's obvious he doesn't really have a clue what lineups to put out there or who's playing well and who isn't, and it becomes obvious and more important come playoff time. and to go 2 or 3 games against the best shooter ever and leave him open off the ball is pretty damning as evidence that the dude didn't have a strategy in that series
― k3vin k., Saturday, 15 June 2013 03:38 (ten years ago) link
Good points. speaking as a W's fan, that series was "fluke-y". The firing seemed like a panic move. Billups as Nugs coach, imo. Player/coach even.
