Kobe most intimidating.....

[Medvedenko]

SI Players NBA Poll

Which opposing player scares you the most to play against?

Kobe Bryant, Lakers G...... 35%
Shaquille O'Neal, Suns C...... 12%
Kevin Garnett, Celtics F...... 6%
LeBron James, Cavs F...... 4%
Dwight Howard, Magic C...... 4%
Allen Iverson, Nuggets G...... 4%
Tim Duncan, Spurs F...... 4%
Steve Nash, Suns G...... 4%
Tracy McGrady, Rockets G...... 2%
Dirk Nowitzki, Mavericks F...... 4%

[Based on a survey of 242 NBA Players]

FAST FACTS: Poll was completed before O'Neal was traded from the Heat to the Suns last week.... Bryant particularly unnerves forwards, who gave him more than 41% of their vote.... Among players 35 and older, 63% voted for Bryant, who led the league in points, field goals and field goal attempts this season, as well as the last two.

This is an expanded version of the NBA poll from the February 18, 2008 issue of Sports Illustrated.

How the fuck is Shaq #2????

And yeah that's nice for Kobe, but do that same poll in 1996 and Jordan gets 99% of the vote.

[Purple & Gold]

Wow 35% :wow :wow


But seriously what's up with Duncan only getting 4%

[E20]

Those numbers don't even add up to 100.

[big3bigD]

Those numbers don't even add up to 100.
:lol :smokin

[clambake]

4% on duncan is blasphemy.

[Spurminator]

It's because of the butt rape potential.

:lol :lol This guy is retarded

[Medvedenko]

:lol :lol This guy is retarded


I'm sure there were players getting less than 2% of the votes, but why list everyone so we can see that Dbenga got .001% so it all adds up to 100%. Man you guys are hillarious. Regardless if that incomplete list doesn't add up to 100%, it still shows 2 players almost having half of the votes.

Oh, and there's no way that Jordan would get 99% of the votes when he played.

[BonnerDynasty]

That poll is poppycock.

[monosylab1k]

Oh, and there's no way that Jordan would get 99% of the votes when he played.
who's taking votes away from him? Shawn Kemp?

Are you dense, you think that 99 out of 100 players would say Jordan is the most feared...you don't think they wouldn't vote for themselves...would he get a high %, probably, not denying that, but to get 99% is comical at best.

Not 99 out of 100......239 out of 242. Who is stupid enough to vote for themselves in the Jordan Era? No ego in the world is big enough for someone to reasonably think they're more intimidating than Jordan. Even Shaq would vote for him.

[lefty]

So they polled little white girls ?

[Kobayagi]

Where's Yao?

[himat]

I agree with the 4% with Duncan. Duncan isn't intimidating. He just quietly hurts opponents with his fundamentally sound game.

Robert Horry should be up on that list.

[remingtonbo2001]

:rolleyes I'm surprised Duncan even polled 4%

Duncan doesn't intimidate the opposition. He beats them.

[nkdlunch]

that is actually a poll of young girls in Colorado

[Medvedenko]

Love the rape references. Classy bunch here....

[ambchang]

We now know 35% of people who voted are LA Laker fans, and 12% of them are Suns fans.

It was a vote by players.

[Matchman]

I do agree Kobe is the most intimidating player, but who the hell is scared of Dwight Howard? the Rockets own him everytime

[mikejones99]

Horry is number 1 in Detroit

[LakeShow]

I do agree Kobe is the most intimidating player, but who the hell is scared of Dwight Howard? the Rockets own him everytime

or Dirk Nowitzki?

[san antonio spurs]

The most intimidating player the spurs had in recent years was Kevin Willis :fro

[spursfan09]

So is it intimidating player by looks or his play? Because Kobe doesn't look intimidating, but, I would hate to play him on any given night.
