NBA's Notorious Whiners

[Texas_Ranger]

Duncan should be first. Paul should be near the top if not second. Paul doesn't just whine to refs, he acts like a little towards his teammates and coaches as well. I think Kobe complains a lot, but most of the time I think he has justifiable cause; unlike Duncan, Manu, Sheed, et al.

And I hate to say this, but Deron runs his mouth more than he used to. He isn't one of the worst in the league and he doesn't whine so much as discuss, but yeah, he talks more than he used to.

I'm 100% sure that there are more fouls not called on Duncan than on Kobe.

I want to respond, i.e, troll, but, I can't figure your equation, you SOB, you.

[Jt.ONE]

lol at 3 boston

and no chris paul sons?

[DAF86]

That would make sense if there weren't Suns, Mavs, Nuggets, and Lakers players on the list.

You're right, he must be a Hornets fan. No Paul nor West?!

[Daddy_Of_All_Trolls]

Let's do the reverse. Who doesn't whine? If there is such a player we might consider believing them if they do complain.

[Booharv]

Among retired players McHale was always a pretty big complainer.

That pic of Manu remains a classic. Though, that's an "I see your point" face if I've ever seen one...

[DPG21920]

Manu is a flopper, not really a whiner imo. Tim's whining pisses me off like no other. It is infuriating to me and I can't imagine how it is for people who don't like him.

Paul should be on there over Manu for sure.

[BUMP]

Duncan and Kobe take it a little too far IMO. I can understand complaining once maybe twice, but these two do it literally after every no call or foul on them. If you do it once, then maybe the ref will think he missed something, but if you complain after every call he'll think you're a whiny .

[Giuseppe]

^They ain't tryin' to convince 'em, you idiot. They're trying to bully 'em.

[picc84]

Bean right where he's used to being. On top.

[Chieflion]

In before "Dwyane Wade isn't on this list because he gets every call".

[LakeShow]

I have to admit Kobe does whine about calls, even the most obvious calls but he's the Best in the NBA and like Jordan he tries to work the officials. Jordan used to cuss the refs out and would never get a tech. Timmie tries to work the officials too but his whining is pathetic.

Just think if Kobe got Kobe rules like Jordan had the Jordan rules, he would be the undisputed GOAT.

[duhoh]

Duncan and Kobe = 9 les


Whining does pay off

San Antonio Lakers?

[SomeCallMeTim]

This thread isn't complete without this photo.

[SomeCallMeTim]

That list is pretty accurate IMO. Kobe sure does like to whine it up out there. Duncan Face is legendary.

I'd be more interested in a list of the least whiny players in the league. I can't for the life of me think of any off the top of my head. DJ Mbenga?

That was a legit complaint by Nash. He didn't even touch that flopping Fish. His gesture told the whole story about NBA refs though. They blind.

stfu

seriously

Manu is a flopper, not really a whiner imo.

This. Manu has no business being on that list. Not even close. And why isnt that Gaysol on the list, he yells like every time he releases the ball than complains if theres no call. Looking like a while doing so I might add:

[BUMP]

Just think if Kobe got Kobe rules like Jordan had the Jordan rules, he would be the undisputed GOAT.

>LakerFan logs on computer and reads Spurstalk
>LakerFan sees thread about Kobe and rushes in
>LakerFan makes ridiculous claim defending Kobe
>my face after Lakeshow's post

[Fpoonsie]

I will admit that Timmy's constant "Who? ME?!" face annoys the outta me. Love the guy, but that act is tired and everybody hates that part of his game.

[ALVAREZ6]

Manu does whine, and exactly like the article says, he's damn good

Dude is really good at knowing his limits, he cares about the team too much to take it further, but he does question calls often. I see nothing wrong with this.

Naturally it's hard not to call out refs when they make horse calls, I can definitely relate, as I used to at them all the time when I played.

[ALVAREZ6]

We should make another list, the league's top whiny es amongst players themselves.

Gasol, Dirk, and especially Dwight Howard would top that , especially Dwight, he's such a pissy , spends the entire game ing and throwing his enormous elbows at people, and wonders why he's always in foul trouble.

There was a very close Lakers - Magic game last spring after the all-star break and it got intense with Gasol and Howard..and by intense, of course I mean extremely pissy and gay. It was like a girl fight, one hard foul lead them into a back and forth sissy ass slap contest, it was pretty damn funny

[J.T.]

Lol at no Rasheed Wallace on the list.

sheed retired. raise the bar.

[Darrin]

I've never understood why Rasheed Wallace got all the credit for being the whiner. Chauncey Billups, especially in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons, was constantly in referees ears with Detroit and he barely got a tech for it.

[pauls931]

LOL, I knew Nash would be in there and figured they'd sneak Duncan in, but not at #2 haha... I don't think Duncan wines but when he does he always has that stupid 'you ripped me off for 5 bucks' look on his face.
