First,
All-Shouldn't be in the NBA Team
PG: Chris Quinn (Heat) 6'2 175lbs
Good God he may be the captain of this team. Even Shaq called him out once and said playing with him was like playing with a high schooler. He wasn't that good in college for Notre Dame, possesses NO athletic ability, and could be considered a poor-man's JJ Reddick - not a compliment. As far as stats go he's averaging 5.6 ppg 1.3 rb and 2.2 assists. Awful numbers but on this team he could be the MVP. On top of all this, he's a douche-bag. For evidence just go as far as his roster picture on NBA.com http://www.nba.com/playerfile/chris_quinn/index.html
SG: Joey Dorsey (Rockets)
Although there is no way on earth he could play this position I felt there were more big guys who should be on this list rather than the Luke Ridnour's and Kirk Hinrich's who at least contribute a little to their teams. Kirk Hinrich guarding Kobe the other night I just felt bad for. Kobe balled on him with a broken finger. It looked like McGowan was trying to guard him. But as for Dorsey he was an OK big guy (very athletic, no skill) in college. He also called out Oden in college and fouled out with less points than fouls in that game. He's also scored a whopping 2 pts in the NBA. A poor-man's Chris Wilcox. Enough said.
SF: Brian Scalabrine (Celtics)
Hey you're tall you should play basketball. Didn't know that translated to the NBA.
PF: Hamed Haddadi (Grizzlies)
Who the hell is this guy? Never heard of him. Here's why. He's the guy who sits behind Marc Gasol AND Hasheem Thabeet. He gets no playing time which should explain his meager 8 pts this year but he's also 2-10 from the field. 20% FG% from a third string center. Congrats you make the team.
C: Sean Marks (Hornets)
Another "Who is this guy?" Only.. he's been in the NBA for 9 years. He has 1 pt this year. one. Over his highly acclaimed career he has scored 588 pts. 65 a season. That's less than 1 pt a game. How has he been around for so long?
Honorable Mention:
BJ Muellens: OK at Ohio State. Tried to look at his stats. He doesn't have any.
Othello Hunter: Another great pick from OSU. 24 pts in his 2 yr career.
Dominic Mcguire: 0.8 pts this year, 2.8 for his career. In Washington.
All 6th Man Team
This one is more I'm just curious what everyone else thinks. My Team:
PG: Ben Gordon
SG: JR Smith (There you go Collin. He has an honorable mention on the next list as well)
SF: Manu (Who doesn't hate Manu?)
PF: Lamar Odom (If I were him I'd be pissed I didn't start. 6'10 lefty who can dribble and shoot? That's an all-star)
C: Andrei Kirelenko (Can't believe he doesn't start anymore. Although he still may be recovering from the POSTERIZING he received courtesy of Baron Davis)
Honorable Mention:
-Sheed (Also getting an honorable mention for the next team)
-Danilo Gallinari (Although I think they've put him in the starting lineup)
-Jason Terry (Yeah he doesn't start anymore)
- Darren Collison (P.I.M.P unfortunately CP3 is on his team)
- James Harden (GO OKC)
All-Thug Team
PG: Deshaun Stevenson
-The beard is awesome but the waving hand in his face after every 3ball he shoots in your eye. Reminds me of Roy Williams getting a first down.
SG: Marquis Daniels
-If you don't believe me look him up.
SF: The myth, the legend, Ron Artest
-The Captain of this team. Who knew at the time that the Malace in the Palace was actually a drunken brawl. He was sipping his Hennessy at half and the guy threw a beer on him. Unfortunately, he was playing an NBA game not in bar.
PF: Stephen Jackson
-Wow could be co-mvp for his help in the Malace at the Palace.
C: Old Chris Andersen
-Not talking about him now that he's cleaned up. Talking about him back when he was Skiing in Denver.
Honorable Mention:
-JR Smith
-Sheed
-Beasley
-Darius Miles (Is he still in the NBA?)
Question of the day
Who looks dumber at all times?
Hedo Turkoglu or Psycho T?
I'll respond to my own question with Hedo's got the dumb mouth always open look and T has those "I'm lost" eyes, but my honorable mention that I didn't post was Big Z. Huge Dumb-looking Eastern European is hard to compete with.
ReplyDeleteNot only do I think this is a great idea, I love the first post by Mr. Anderson. Not only is it well written and articulate, it covers the NBA which has become the most entertaining sport to follow. I get hard at night watching Kobe highlights (see his game winner last night?) and watching young players such as KDurant develop into future MVPs.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the discussion of “All Shouldn’t be in the NBA” team, many characters come to mind. Scott listed many of my favorites, including Sean Marks who certainly takes the cake. He’s somehow managed to make the roster of 5 different teams throughout the last nine years, and still people think he can play the game.
Unfortunately the talent pool of the worst players has been thinned out now that many teams are only carrying 13 players to save money and avoid the luxury tax. That being said, I hope the following players are on a roster somewhere…
Robert Swift
- He’s a pale 7’0 with long red hair … enough said. After a decent high school showing, Swift somehow managed to make the McDonalds All-American game and then duped the Sonics into wasting a lottery draft pick on his tall, untalented ass. (I understand this was the last year to draft a high schooler so many teams jumped on this trend, but there were 5 other prospects out there who hadn’t been drafted including Al Jefferson, Josh Smith, and JR Smith)
Ryan Bowen
- Although it hurts me to put him on this list, it’s impossible to avoid. Bowen has entertained for years (been in the league for nearly 10 seasons) and has possessed zero talent throughout. He makes a roster with his hard work and hustle plays, and I guess he has a small following by those who like the “white guy who tries hard” in the NBA. In his 5 seasons playing in Denver, I never witnessed him make a jump shot, although I did see him jump into the stands for loose balls on numerous occasions. At one point in New Orleans, they even believed he was a defensive stopper and started him against Dirk. I am sure you can all guess the outcome….
Adam Morrison
- Despite him being college player of the year and having a decent rookie season, I still believe Morrison is one of the worst in the NBA. His jump shot isn’t good enough to play shooting guard in the NBA and he is too soft to play small forward, despite his 6’7 or 6’8 size. Then again, I might be a little hard on him because of the facial hair growth on his upper lip.
haha collin it pained me to not put adam morrison on the list. but i originally thought i was gonna do a sports-hate team where him, noah, and varejao would be my big 3.
ReplyDeletehaha those use to be my top 3 also, until Noah talked shit to Lebron. Now I have more respect for him, considering Lebron increasingly becomes my least favorite player by the day
