Top 5 dirtiest NBA Players ever and why

[Calispursfan11]

Who are your picks for the top 5 dirtiest players to ever play in the NBA and why?

[u4lakers14]

chuck daly starting 5 pistons

[resistanze]

Besides Karl Malone everyone looks like a saint. Plus he's a pedophile, which is pretty dirty.

[rayjayjohnson]

kobe. rapist motherfucker

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

KG and his nut shot

[Dex]

I'll go ahead and put Bruce "Lee" Bowen out there.

[rayjayjohnson]

in all seriousness:

1. Malone
2. KG
3. Kobe
4. Artest
5. Matt Barnes

[LnGrrrR]

Hard to say. What we would view as dirty today would be acceptable in the 80s and earlier.

[Lefty's understudy]

Its well known that Gasol never showers, he wins this hands down.

[Calispursfan11]

I'll take a stab at it in no particular order.

John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Bruce Bowen, Rick Mahorn, Bill Lambeer, but there are a lot of good arguments for others.

[IronMexican]

Its well known that Gasol never showers, he wins this hands down.

:lol Damnit. I actually laughed.

[frodo]

BB tops da list easily. nigga be a true ankle-breaker, when he was playing dis game he was the nightmare for most guards/forwards imho.

[Calispursfan11]

Larry Bird receives honorable mention as well.

[Calispursfan11]

in all seriousness:

1. Malone
2. KG
3. Kobe
4. Artest
5. Matt Barnes

Good list, but I don't know about Matt Barnes. I just don't have much to go on for that one.

[DMC]

in all seriousness:

1. Malone
2. KG
3. Kobe
4. Artest
5. Matt Barnes

lol at the short term fan


Bill Laimbeer was worse than any of the ones listed.

[Nathan89]

Big titty Bynum might be in the top 5 one day.

[baseline bum]

chuck daly starting 5 pistons

I doubt there would be such a thing as a flagrant foul without them. The Celtics, Sixers, and later on the Knicks would get physical as hell, but nothing like those Pistons teams.

[dunkman]

Hall of Infamous:
Malone - elbows, kicks in da nuts, knees
Laimbeer - elbows, saw once when bounced the head of another player on the floor
Rodman - elbows
Bowen - flying kicks, stepping under a jump shooter,
Shaq - broke players fingers with a slap, threw down driving players, violently pushed the players breaking their ankles prior to his dunk, elbows

Dishonorable Mentions:
Stockton - illegal picks, elbows
Rodman - very violent, cheap shots
Bynum - elbows, threw down driving players
McHale - almost assassinated Rambis with a "clothsline"
Kobe - elbows, showing
Oakley - elbows, punching
Barkley - elbows
Artest - cheap shot artist

[pass1st]

Hard to say. What we would view as dirty today would be acceptable in the 80s and earlier.

Yeah, these days dirty fouls were are what were considered normal in the 70s and 80s.

Maybe narrow it by decade?

[Proxy]

I'll go out on a limb and say that Bruce wasn't as dirty as most of the other players listed here. I don't think anything he ever did was proven intentional, and due to him playing such good defense on the perimeter, foots were landed on.

The Amare thing was the only play I ever questioned. The rest seemed fabricated by pussy Allen, VC, and the bitch suns. I never heard Kobe complaining.

top 5?
hard to say. Mailman is easily number one though. No one else come close to him imo.

[Kai]

Kermit Washington

[rayjayjohnson]

Sorry I'm not wallowing in middle age like you, gramps

Who are your picks for the top 5 dirtiest players to ever play in the NBA and why?


ahh shit las night was one of the wildest on record for me...:lol


but tbh I hate getting into these type of debates....:lol I beleive in hard nose play and I'm a firm believer in player retaliation at the right time. However, there's only 1 maybe 2 truly dirty players in the history of game...

Karl Malone was truly dirty in every respect...From Knocking David Robinson out COLD...Robinson went into convulsions and shit on the court....I still owe that video to Luva...and I will get it.. to giving Zeke 40 + stitches because Zeke was giving it to Stockton...we could write a book about Malone he did so much shit....

However, he fly's under the radar now but the nastiest SOB to ever lace em up is Reggie Evans...he sexually assaulted a player on the court in front of millions...He wins hands down:

[Girasuck]

giving Zeke 40 + stitches because Zeke was giving it to Stockton

I don't have a problem with anyone that put Malone as the dirtiest, or one of the dirtiest players of all-time. Hell, I'd list him in the top 5...BUT...do not use the elbow against Zeke as an example of his dirty play. There were two separate occasions in that game where Stockton received cheap shots from Piston bigs before the elbow to Thomas. Malone spoke before the game about how the Jazz had to match Detroit's bullying to have any shot of beating them, so Malone saw the opportunity and leveled Isiah. At that time in basketball, he had it coming.

I also laugh when Isiah himself complains about the hit because he was the ring leader in so many other hits. The one time he gets it he starts crying about it. A sign of the ultimate bully.

Bowen was dirty. Undercutting players is dirty.

The only reason Malone hit Zeke was because Zeke was fucking up Stockton's world...it's well known man don't try to rewrite history Utah boy...Stockton couldn't fuck with Isiah... not ever not anytime and Malone just got fed up and decided to slow Isiah down...

and even as you say if Stockton took a few hard fouls there's nothing to justify this hit on an all-time great...that shit could have put an eye or or even killed him...eternally fuck you and Karl Malone...:toast ok sir...

Malone
Laimbeer
Bynum
Miller
Bowen

thats a solid 5

[ohmwrecker]

1 Bill Laimbeer
2 Karl Malone
3 Dennis Rodman
4 John Stockton
5 Bruce Bowen

Special consideration to Kermit Washington for almost killing Rudy T.

Kermit's hit wasn't dirty it was just a straight up punch to the face...

[Koolaid_Man]

Malone
Laimbeer
Bynum
Miller
Bowen

thats a solid 5

Bynum isn't dirty...he had a few bad plays but unless he does this more often it's too early to say....I think he was trying to show his manhood trying to show he'd go out fighting like they did in the 80's but it wasn't received to well...


Magic, Kobe, Barkley and many others have done far worse than Bynum's hit on JJ...so they have no room....:lol

[ohmwrecker]

Kermit's hit wasn't dirty it was just a straight up punch to the face...

Rudy T. wasn't fighting. Kermit sucker punched him as hard as he possibly could. Tomjanovich was trying to break up the fight between Jabaar and Benson.

I don't really expect you to know your history though.

From what I hear it was a fight...Rudy erroneously ran up like a Russian cowboy and

BLAAAAAMMMMM!!!!

Holy Shit Batman....:lol

[dunkman]

Zeke was better than Stock, but it's not an excuse. Malone got called a "coward" by 'Nique for beating a smaller player, but mean as he was, never took a cheap shot on him too.

[lefty]

Kareem was a dirty punkass bitch

[Monostradamus]

Surprised no one has mentioned Najera or Raja Bell.

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

Probably most of you never heard of the story where Tree Rollins of the Atlanta Hawks almost bit Danny Ainge of the Celtics finger off in a playoff game.

Danny Ainge was the victim of the weirdest injury that I can remember in the NBA. In a 1983 first-round playoff game with Atlanta, Ainge tried to tackle Tree Rollins. Ainge shrieked in pain from the ensuing tangled pile of bodies.
"We got into a little scuffle out on the court by the foul line and he almost bit my finger off,'' Ainge said. "He bit it all the way through. I had to get two stitches.''
He raised his right hand to reveal the scar on his middle finger.
"Usually, you don't put stitches on a human bite,'' he said. "But just to keep everything in there together, they had to put a couple of stitches in there.''
Did he realize that someone was biting him?
"Oh, yeah, I knew it was happening,'' he said. "Oh, yeah.''
The next day, the Boston Herald published one of the great headlines: "Tree Bites Man.''
It's a shame Tree didn't bite Larry Bird, too.

1. Ricky Mahorn
2-5 4 other dudes

Ricky Mahorn was thought of as the dirtiest player when he played, which was during the dirtiest time in the NBA, the pre Bad Boys to the Bad Boys era.
