Kwame there is scary. Players obviously know he's just OOOOOZING with natural ability. The man's a freak.

Gerald Green should maybe be higher, that guy how so many skills yet he can barely crack the rotation on the worst team in the NBA.

Charlie v should be on there to IMO.

Compare his work ethic to Kobe, or even a T-Mac, and you will understand what the players are talking about.

Carter is more naturally talented than both of those guys, but those guys make the most out of what they have.

Yeah, but there's no denying that T-Mac's work ethic is > Carter's. T-Mac actually works on his game in the summer and has a pretty rigorous workout plan.

I've never seen someone who loves beating a dead horse more than you.

The only thing "Contender" and I have in common is that we criticize Bosh. So by your logic everyone who criticizes Bosh is the same poster. But by the same logic everyone who criticizes Bargs must also be the same poster. And everyone who criticizes Smitch must also be the same poster. I've also criticized Bargs and Smitch. That means anyone who has ever criticized Bosh, Bargs, Smitch is really me.

Regardless of the reason, personal insults are not tolerated.

All of those players have a few things in common in that they are all mentally complacent, lazy, mama's boys.
