We've all played with people who were spolied sports, or wouldn't give up the rock, or played dirty and made us embarrased to be associated with them, or thought they were much better than they really were, or were quitters or born losers so I think we can relate to this idea

but my question is - who do you think is the worst guy to have on your team currently in the NBA?

and then, of all time...

I've never been in an NBA locker room, but sometimes you can see signs of this on the court.  I would have said JR Smith at the beginning of the season, but he seems to have come a long way.  I'm gonna go with the Notorious POB, because I'd be so frustrated a guy has this body and size and zero desire to make it work.

Worst current player would have to be Iverson.

Historically its a tough call. I'd have to say Latrell Sprewell. He choked a coach, I can't imagine he was a good team mate.

I think Zach Randolph has to be in the discussion.

Prior to his Boston stint, Marbury would have been there too. Maybe Steve Francis as well. Possibly Jalen Rose. Eddy Curry's a consideration. Tim Thomas? Hmm, what if made a whole team out of these players? ;)

Randolph with Iverson as a close second.

Isaiah (J.R.) Rider wasn't winning any Mr. Popularity Contests or NBA TP Pageants either... nice topic

The man shook his head. "O.J. doesn't give out his cell," he said. "He'll call you."

Jason Williams (Post-Sac days), helped turned the kings into one of the most exciting teams in basketball, then became useless after he was traded.
