Dirtiest player in the Nba ?

[apc]

I don't have any problem with Shane Battier.
He is good at what he does.

Bynum

I should close the topic, seeing as the OP's question has been answered

I don't think KG is a dirty player at all, not in any sense of the word.

KG = tough player
Dirty = dangerous, making a play on someone you fully know could seriously injure them but you do it anyway...

There is a difference the size of the grand canyon between those two.

Rodman, Laimbeer, Bynum,Oakely, Wade, Kobe, etc.

Kg does a lot of pushing, shoving, poking, pulling, talking, bumping and grinding and he pushes the limit on all of it but none of it is "dangerous" to the other player. It may incredibly frustrating, but it's not dangerous.

Dirty players are the ones you worry will take you out at the knees when you're airborne and try to make it "look like" it was an accident and they had no idea what was going on. And there has to be a history of multiple incidents with the same player.

I would be absolutely shocked if KG made a play on a guy that was a truly "dangerous" play.   

This!

Now, Battier is one of the dirtiest people in the game(Wade, no question, is the dirtiest TODAY)! Hibbert and West said that Battier was intentionally going for their knees and that they had to be aware of that at all times (West said especially since he not long had the torn ACL). I was thinking, no way man... is he really doing that? Then this jerk pretty much said it outright! He said something along the lines of, they are big and they have that advantage, he tries to do ANYTHING he can to help his team win. How he is allowed to admit that on the sly and not be punished, I don't know, but if I was the other players, I would ask one of my guys who are one of the "lesser" players to rough him up and I would pay the fine for them (under the table of course)!

That's some sick stuff! If I were playing, no way I would intentionally try to end careers! I mean, a little roughing is okay but to try and take out people's knees??? Where they do that at?

Man, the Heat just have a way of making people evil. I respected Battier's game before now.

Toss Up:   Wade/Howard, Howard/Wade?

I'm sure it's part of the interview.  Riley is sort of like the godfather: "Are you willing to do anything we ask to win a title?"
