Yeah they Shaq vs. Howard thing is difficult. No one really knows when Shaq is joking vs. when he is serious. One thing that bugs me a lot is when a big man has been in the NBA for several years publicly demands more touches down low while they haven't put in any work to develop a post game and don't recognize they depend greatly on pick and rolls to score, basically what Howard did vs. Boston. That's why I put Howard there.

Narcissism isn't simple selfishness; it's a personality disorder in which you lack any understanding or empathy for what other human beings are experiencing, as you cannot see past your own needs, wants and expectations.

So yeah, I don't care how many assists he averages, a guy who never stops bitching and moaning about what everyone else is doing wrong, is pretty much the embodiment of narcissism.

He's a narcissistic nutpuncher. Same goes for Paul.

I remember one game where Terry flagrantly fouled Ginobili when he was in mid-air. Then, realizing how it might look on camera, he walked over and offered Manu a hand up to pretend it wasn't intentional. Manu ignored him for the prick that he is.

More than once. If you watch the Youtube video of Bruce Bowen (the conflict with Paul that got Bowen suspended for a game), you'll see Paul nail Bowen in the groin with the back of his hand. Also, watch Paul fling himself to the ground pretending to have been kicked when Bowen starts to step back away from him. The fact that the NBA suspended Bowen after watching the tapes makes it even more ridiculous.

Shaq should definitely go ahead of Dwight. After all, HE was the one who proclaimed that, upon his arrival in the desert, that he "just wanted to fit in". Of course, that didn't last long. Even before the Suns season was heading south, he started moaning and groaning about getting his touches.

This guy is as big of a pain as Terrell Owens. Yet he gets the biggest pass in the NBA because fans and media think he's funny. In reality, he's childish, juvenile and has a cartoon mind.

Here's my real list:


PG Iverson (won't admit all he cares about is getting his numbers)
SG Kobe (tempted to pick Terry here for being a D-bag, but Kobe throws teammates under the bus)
SF Amare (thinks he could play SF, because he believes he's THAT GOOD from outside, yet won't play a lick of defense and demands a MAX contract)
PF Karl Malone (referred to himself in the 3rd person all the time)
C Shaq (another guy who throws teammates under the bus, Kobe learned the art from this guy)

***couldn't put James on the list because so far he's said all the right things, even if he does buy into all the hype around him, he's kinda earned the right being an MVP and all.

Also couldn't put DHoward on here for the same reasons. Yeah he's whined to the media about not getting enough touches, but he was right about that. The result was they won the series vs. Boston after he complained.

Damon Jones - Renaldo mentioned him above. I was hoping I'd be the first to mention him. I don't care if he's been out of the league for 20 years, he's my starting point guard for this team. The world's greatest shooter has to be.

Tony Allen - Lol, he said, "no disrespect to James Posey, but I'm better than him."

Carmelo Anthony - this douche has been crying about how he should be talked about the same way people talk about LeBron and Wade for basically 5 years now. He took the cake this past post season after finally getting out of the first round beating the Hornets, and he was being interviewed on the court right after the game standing right next to Chauncey Billups and the interviewer asked what Chauncey meant to the team, and he somehow flipped the question and answered it by saying Billups brought the same things he was going to bring at the beginning of the season after experiencing the Olympics and winning gold, and how he had already decided to be more professional and work on defense. He completely deflected praise from Billups in order to praise himself. In the sit down post game, he talked about how he had been down in playoff series before. Not the team, but just him. Carmelo is ridiculously narcissistic. That said, Chauncey himself is pretty damn narcissistic, but always adds a softener to try to show some humility.

Amare Stoudemire - if he were of middle eastern descent, people really would mistake him for Jesus. And, by "people," I mean Amare himself.

Joakim Noah - that dude Joakim Noah... he loves himself some Joakim Noah.



Marbury already has a lifetime achievement. Kobe and Shaq are givens, so are LeBron and Iverson and Gilbert Arenas. Eddie House deserves honorable mention. Nate Robinson gets a pass because he's 5-foot-2 and has to deal with Napolean complex.

He bricked those because he is stupid. Push-ups expand your muscles, and are the worst possible thing to do right before shooting. It's extremely difficult to make shots immediately after doing push-ups. He missed because he is stupid enough to do push-ups before shooting

KG is a bitch...he never steps to players his size.....but he is always up on some smaller player ready to give him the business. Fuck KG and his jacked up facial expressions.

You're supposed to pick the top five narcissists, not the three greatest players in the last five years.

Narcissism includes thinking too highly of oneself, especially when it's to the point of a delusional level.

What makes you think Pierce is cocky to the point of delusion? I've not heard him say "I'm better than Kobe" or anything like that.

He might've said it in the heat of the moment, or maybe during the 2007 Finals, but he doesn't seem to display a lack of empathy for others, or a history of histrionic statements.

I would say KG is narcisstic only because he continues to act as if he is the center of attention on the bench, and he was jawing at other players when he wasn't even on the court during the playoffs. That seems narcisstic to me, to rag on others when you're not even out there.

He said hes the best player on the planet.

Ok, so he did say it once. I thought I remembered him saying that. Was it cocky? Sure. But to be honest, I don't want players for the team I'm cheering for saying something like, "Sure, Kobe's a better player than I am, but I'm not too bad, ya know?" :)

To me, narcissism implies a repeated cockiness AS WELL AS a lack of empathy for others. Pierce seems to care about his teammates, even if he can be a bit primadonnaish occasionally.

One way or another, I don't think PP is half as narcissistic as others.

This past post season, Pierce also said even without KG, the Celtics were the best team in the playoffs and that he was the best player in the playoffs. Pierce is obnoxiously cocky and absolutely thinks way too highly of himself. That doesn't mean he's not a great player because he is. Just means he really is a narcissist.

I will lay claim to my homer status and just say that Pierce can't help but say that because... he has the heart of a champion. :lol

Aint nothing wrong with. Most pro athletes are over-cocky.

Blind homerism forces us towards denial a lot. It's cool. I get it.

It wasn't until I got older that I could accept the faults of players I rooted for. I can admit that Rip Hamilton is a whiney little bitch and Tayshaun Prince is a big fat (ironically) pussy. Confront denial.

I have blind spots for Brady, Pierce, and Manny Ramirez.

Brady, because the Pats sucked forever until he started.

Pierce, because he was one of the lone bright spots for many, MANY crappy years.

And Manny, because as stupid as he is, man is he a good hitter who seemingly always came through in the post-season.

Baron Davis is narcissistic, but he's also willing to make fun of himself. I think he gets a break because of that.

Deshawn Stevenson needs to crack the line-up. Flashing that "you can't see me" garbage when your team is getting blown out deserves some recognition.

True that. I dislike Baron for the fact that he is an amazing talent w/ an amazing contract who only plays well when he feels like it(about half the time).

I wouldn't say he's narcissistic I followed him during his career in charlotte and based on that I can't say he is. He didn't bitch during his rookie year when he hardly got any minutes playing backup to David Wesely even though he was better then him. It could have been very easy for a young stud like him to come in and demand starter minutes. He also played under control during his first few years in charlotte and became a great leader. He didn't start to go haywire until the team moved New Orleans. Thats when he quit on the team and starting half assing it along with being a prick at times. Baron to me is more like slacker a guy who has tremendous talent but doesn't try all the time.
