Dirtiest player in the Nba ?

[masteremile123]

Dwayne Wade.
With the Rondo incident in 2011 , the nick collison incident last year , his incident with the Pacers this year + all the constant floping and the arguments with the refs I think wade solidified himself as the dirtiest player in the Nba.

Close 2nds: Metta world peace , Shane Battier , David Lee , Chris Paul.

I also don't think Kg is "dirty" he just talk a LOT of trash but I've never see him try to hurt anyone and never saw him flop.

Ryan Hollins. (but he never used it when on the Celtics, I suppose)

Kevin Garnett. (says everybody)

[CelticsFan9]

Artest
Wade
Reggie Evans
Dwight
Kobe

[Bahku]

Shane Battier, Dwyane Wade, Chris Anderson, (my anti-Miami bias is clear).

[LGC88]

Wade, no brainer.
A dirty player is someone that hurt you physically and purposely. So KG doesn't fit the criteria.
Artest (sorry his new name is a joke and an offense to its basketball spirit) is close 2nd.
And I would say Wallace (from the nets) 3rd.

[timobusa]

Wade definitely.

Everybody says KG is dirty but I really don't see it.

I just think he is very annoying to play against.

He talks to you, gets in your head, intimidates you, talks to himself, has that look like he's gonna kill someone, and he knows how to get good position in the post or anywhere in the court, defends really well, shoots a jumper you can't block even if you have a 50 vertical leap.

So yeah, I can see KG being very annoying to play against, but I don't think he's dirty at all.
Wade on the other had, its blatant, the elbow dislocation, the tackle, the groin kick, breaks a dudes nose in the all star game.
I could go on and on..

If you think he's not being physical, I don't know what to tell you.

If you think he's doing it accidentally, I don't know what to tell you.

  The list has to start with Bynum if people still consider him to be a player, and Dwight needs a spot on it as well.

  I think there's a pretty big difference between anything KG does and doing things like sticking your foot where someone who's going to land so they'll sprain their ankle or elbowing someone in the ribs in the middle of their layup attempt.

I just thought the definition was inaccurate. I'm curious as to your specific definition of "dirty" too

[ScoobyDoo]

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.

My definition of a dirty player is a player who makes plays/fouls on another player with the intention of hurting them badly (or god forbid injure them).

KG makes hard fouls, not cheap shots or bush league plays.  Those are reserved for scum like Artest, Wade, Reggie Evans, Matt Barnes, Bynum, Dwight, etc.

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?

Yeah. I agree.

For example hearing about a guy with a knee injury and going for the knee every play, both on offense and on D.
