Richard Jefferson was frustratingly the worst, by far.

5. 90% of the players on the 2000-2002 Spurs

Add kyle and rudy to this list. Rudy may be worse than jefferson

[DAF86]

Keith Bogans.
Ime Udoka.

Fathead, Forbes are just trash.

Porker is trash but he got heart. Dislike the FO more on that one.

[daslicer]

On the current team Forbes.

[SpurPadre]

Matt Bonner

But Kawhi's shenanigans puts him over the top tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

1. Contract Green
2. Contract Mills
3. Contract Gasol

soon to be 4. Contract Fathead

#1 & #2 are far worse because not only did they cuck PATFO, they're due for a mandatory 25-35 minutes a night to try and justify their egregious salaries.

[Robz4000]

HWSNBN will always be first on this list.

[daslicer]

Derek Anderson too

Derek was actually fun to watch when he played on the Spurs. He left in a bad way but watching him play during the '00-'01 season was exciting.

[vander]

Spurs have dat culture, can't think of any that I have disliked to any significant extent. what makes a Spurs player loathsome is their contract... Mills, Gasol, KL?

You just described Blair too... lots of the guys I listed didn't even put in any kind of work during the regular season...

[Proxy]

Surprised no mention of mason jr, Rasho, Elson... even Nazr had his butter fucking fingers down in the low post

in all honesty though, find it hard to hate any players on any of the teams that rang. Finley and Bonner get that free pass imo

[ElNono]

Also, him not being on my top 10 doesn't mean I liked him, tbh... he's obviously at the very tail end of his career...

[gambit1990]

mason jr made 3 game winning buzzer beats his first season with the spurs iirc. pop was the one trying to shoehorn him into playing the point :lol not that he would've been much better otherwise.

in some necro thread I read that you met Bonner and said he was a great guy. what gives?

[$pursDynasty]

RJ and Rodman and Nondo for some reason. Pretty small list actually. Oh and who was that light skinned SF we kept instead of JayMychal Green, but only because Green was an ascending talent and that dude may be out of the league?

[testies]

Pau is up there. Blair too.

Bad defenders usually get on my nerves

[Proxy]

I just remember them getting lots of shit when they played.

I think ink the only players that legitimately piss me off are the ones I expect more from... so basically RJ and Kyle

[TDTPMG21920]

RJ and Gasol

[KimmyGib]

The guy they dropped Rasual Butler for in 2016. What was his name, K-Mart? Everything was going right for the Spurs that year until that dick move. Things went downhill from that point.

[SAGirl]

Pau definitely. I mean there’s many I could criticize but when he’s getting paid $16 mills per year and was probably responsible for several losses where LMA was injured and the team needed him... it’s just not the same to compare him to guys on vet min deals

Cant say I liked Kevin Martin either but that was a throwaway

a d it’s probably too far back that I no longer remember how awful they were but tmDaye was awkward and terrible and Errors was bad all around...

None of these had $16 mill /yr and guaranteed playing time due to contract tho.

Austin Daye... he was really awkward... stick like

[kuato]

Gasol, he is allways complaining with refs like a little girl and with zero defensive attitude. And Luis Scola too for not comming to the Spurs.

[$pursDynasty]

Austin Daye... he was really awkward... stick like
Yet we kept him instead of JayMychal who was a Toro for a minute and now starts for the Grizz

[HarlemHeat37]

Why do people dislike Bonner? He overachieved with the Spurs, never didn't live up to a contract, always played hard, seemed like a nice man, good teammate..

[spursistan]

Pau is up there with RJ Jefferson.. Not only because of his TOSB play, but his shitty and sulky attitude. Dude is an insufferable fuckin diva and he's is getting pass because he is a white Euro....

[SAGirl]

Don’t hate Bonner. Specially the last couple years when he was a true bench player.... man I just read my post and you know what I used to find super annoying? Jeff Errors would clap loudly if anyone made even the mildest of good plays. He was bad and the clapping just called attention to himself. Imagine if Bryn Firbes was clapping at anything good right on the floor when you’d rather just ignore he was there....

[timtonymanu]

Kevin Martin - never should have waived Butler (RIP) for him.

Always underperformed in the playoffs. Couldn't hit an open shot unless they were up 15+. Bad on defense, made TD play 2v1 in the paint

Wasted 3 years of TD career ( also Pop's/ front office fault) until they realized he was fools gold and started giving minutes to real bigs like Splitter/Baynes

[Spur|n|Austin]

Keith Bogans.
Ime Udoka.

Bogans .... ugh; shutter. Good one.

Finley shouldn't be on the OP list.

[SpurPadre]

Because he is the worst playoff performer of all time and made millions for being a sandwich expert. What's not to hate about that fuck?

I don't have a problem with that, I always support players getting money, tbh..

I dislike everything about him on the basketball court..0 effort or hustle, can't even post up against guards, screams and flails like a bitch to get calls, his annoying screaming, etc..

[HarlemHeat37]

Bogans .... ugh; shutter. Good one.

Finley shouldn't be on the OP list.

Finley post-2007 was intolerable..his playing style was terrible, Pop would play him no matter what, he chose him over Bowen, and then Finley asked for a trade like a bitch:lol

The audacity of a washed up role player to ask for a trade..

I have always hated that scream going back to when he was with Lakers. It worked for him back in LA to get foul calls but obviously doesn't work for him in SA.

[SpurPadre]

Bonner is a millionaire while hardworking and brilliant teachers are struggling to make ends meet, with some of them working two other side jobs. That's fucked up tbh.

The worst thing about him for me wasn’t even games like tonight. He really shocked me his first season I complained a lot about him initially bc I was used to Timmy who no longer scored much but you could count on to grab rebounds and do a lot of the unheralded stuff... he played defense to the bitter end. To go from that to Gasol was shocking. Eventually I shut up in order to not weary myself out and adjusted... but the way he just looks lazy rebounds fly over his head. He doesn’t jump to grab them, he doesn’t move an inch... truly horrible...

[spurs10]

I'll vote for West.

[KimmyGib]

I'll never hate guys like Old Bonner or Ayers. They may have been SAS worst players for some years, but they always gave good effort, were good teammates, had small contracts, and weren't really overplayed. Also both part of '14, and it's very hard to dislike anyone from that team. (I don't count Austin Daye).


A fat, undeserved contract with poor effort is so much worse imo.

Tony Massenburg? Why? He was one of my favourite enforcers. If he didn't get into that accident in the 2005 off-season and was able to come back, then I think he would have roughed up Dallas in the 2006 playoffs and helped the Spurs win the series.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

For what RJ was at the time of its acquisition he was probably the most annoying to watch

and didn't he ask to be released a few months into the season? we ended up giving J Green away for nothing.

Actually, I had him mixed up with Keith "centerpiece" Bogans.

How could you not hate Jefferson? The Spurs instantly became title contenders after dropping that piece of shit. I don't think I have seen one player hold a team back so badly since late 90s Ewing.

Jefferson was a runem gunem player forced into half court offense. He knew it was wrong. Gasol thinks hes good. Ive seen him AIRBALL 8 LAYUPS in 2 years AIRBALL. hes 7 foot tall... wtf

[Leetonidas]

I severely disliked Jefferson but I never really hated him tbh. He was trash but he could at least hit the three and had some value as a player when he was here. Not his fault PATFO resigned him to that retarded deal (guess you could say the same about Pau tho). Gasol on the other hand is fucking worthless on the court. He has been good for absolutely nothing but entry passes to LA this season. He had a decent stretch earlier in the season but was atrocious the rest of the year. I can't stand watching his "scream and flail" defense anymore

[barbacoataco]

If Turkoglu hits his 3's the Spurs win in 2004. That team was as good or better than the 2003 and 2005 teams that won championships.

Dick Jefferson was a disgrace.

Finley I liked as a person seemed like a nice guy. But he was ex-Dallas and seemed to miss the most important shots he took as a Spur. Then he lingered on too long.

Bonner was an effective player in some seasons but also lingered on too long.

Udoka and Bogans were trying to replace Bruce Bowen and they didn't live up to it.

Del Negro was pathetic for a starting SG on a team trying to win a championship.

[SAGirl]

bertans, fucking scrub.
Shot 16% in the playoffs, 16%!!!!!! 3/18 shooting in 82 minutes. He probably will shoot better in the future bc that's awful, but it's nothing to give an endorsement to.

Don't hate him tho.

[Old School 44]

Decent player, but I never liked Rod Strickland, even before the over the head no look pass/turnover in the playoffs.

[birdy219]

Gasol.....the sight of him vexes my spirit

[FireMicoHalili]

There was a stretch after 05 where the Spurs still opted to keep washed out vets like Finley, Horry, Bowen, Kurt Thomas, and Barry. Those guys were great but the Spurs opted to stay old and rely on experience instead of investing in young talent that could have made things easier for the Big Three during the twilight of their careers. The intent to make the Big Three the focal point of the offense and the intent to save money was evident, but provided little to no relief when any of them would get injured. There also was this time when the Spurs struggled finding decent wings. James White, Marcus Williams, Melvin Saunders, Desmond Ferguson, Da’Sean Butler, DerMarr Johnson, Malik Hairston...the Spurs clearly struggled to find a young and decent 3 and D wing. You could tell the Spurs were keen on saving money, only attracting guys like Ime Udoka and Roger Mason Jr. Both provided great value for their salaries but still placed a brunt of the scoring duties on the big three.

[CosmicCowboy]

Dennis Rodman by a landslide. I always felt he cost us a championship by literally disappearing in the playoffs to hide in Las Vegas boning Madonna.
