The All-Annoying Teams!

There are some players in the NBA that just friggen annoy the crap out of me. They have something about them that just bugs me and forces me to dislike them. It's either their personality, their look or how they play the game that makes me root against them.




All-Annoying Team
Starters

Pg. Delonte West - This guy likes to ride around like he's Blade with guns on a motorcycle...

Sg. Sasha Vujacic - He vowed to never wear green after the Celtics smoked the Lakers in 08'...What a tool!

Sf. Lebron James - He is ultra-talented, but an ultra crybaby and he never ever ever gets fouls called on him, it's sickening the way David Stern wants to make him MJ.

Pf. Anderson Varejao - Just look at this guy!

C. Dwight Howard - I used to like Dwight, before I realized how much a of a punk he is, he fouls, elbows and plays dirty and the worse part, idiots like Jeff Van Gundy have the nerve to defend him by saying everything he does is inadvertent!

Bench

1.Pau Gasol - AKA the Geico Caveman, The sad thing, I wanted him on the Celtics at one point.

2.Joakim Noah - This was close between Varejao and Noah they both are pretty equal in my eyes, Noah is obviously more talented, but he could possibly be one of the ugliest people on the planet and sadly that ugliness pales in comparison to the ugliness of his shot.

3.Ron Artest - I really don't have to give a reason I dislike him right?

4.Jermaine O'Neal - Ditto

5. Jeff Van Gundy - I know, I know, he's an announcer now, but he deserves to be on this list since I dread ABC broadcasts just because of him.

Now for the sake of good fun I will also post the Team of Players I admire and like watching.

Starters

Pg. Rajon Rondo
Sg. Kobe Bryant
Sf. Kevin Durant
Pf. Tim Duncan
C. Shaquille O'Neal

Bench

1.Dwayne Wade
2.Paul Pierce
3.Ray Allen
4.Chris Paul
5.Chris Duhon
6.Chris Bosh
7.Gerald Wallace

Whatchya Say??

You know what the most unimportant job is in sports broadcasting? The reporter that talks to the players or coaches after halftime and after the game. I'm confused as to why this position even exists? Do we really need to hear a losing coach tell us his team didn't play well or a player telling us that he'll have to keep playing hard. Shouldn't we assume these things? I feel like we should! These people have nothing interesting to say nine times out of ten and when it is interesting, it's not supposed to be on TV.

Most of the time the best part of the interview is Craig Sager's suit...Or KG's opinion of them...

These interviews after the game accomplish nothing. What do we want this player to say? They are NBA players, not "philosophizers". Shaq may be the "Great Aristotle" but the best thing he's ever said in a sideline interview was the F-bomb!




All I'm saying is this is pointless unnecessary sports reporting and it bores me!
