What NBA never whines or complains, and just plays his game? Who always brings his best effort to the court, doesn't matter what team he plays for. Hardly gets into fights and etc. And choose any player, past or present, try to choose some one who's been in the league for at least 5 years. Good Luck!!

My choice is Ray Allen


I choose Tim Duncan.

Has Timmy ever done anything that could be seen as disrespectful, I can't think of anything. He has played for just 1 team and has never really bad mouthed them. Has Duncan ever taken a game off? He plays hard and is a quiet super star. He could talk, bad mouth, and yell like Rasheed and get away with it, but doesn't.

Good Luck.


Forfeited Turn


OK, what a riveting argument.

Well Timmy does have that stupid look on his face every time he gets called for a foul, but a ton of players including Allen do stuff like that. One time Duncan was ejected for laughing while he was on the bench, he didn't do anything else he just walked to the locker room, that shows how respectful he is any other player would have ripped the ref in half.


Forfeited Turn


Vote for me. He didn't even have an argument.

allen iverson could also be on disrespect list

June 18, 2008  02:18 PM ET

I thought about Richard Jefferson

June 18, 2008  02:22 PM ET

Swight Howard

June 18, 2008  02:22 PM ET

Fisher is a good choice

He realize's there is more to life than the NBA

June 18, 2008  02:22 PM ET

Dwight Howard

June 18, 2008  02:23 PM ET

DJ who is Swight Howard.

Savage, that sounds like sour grapes...How about Kobe saying repeatedly "Not Tonight" to the fans and Cs or constantly ripping his own players during timeouts?

Eddie House and PJ Brown are somewhat irrelevant, I dont think they are known for making a lot of noise. And as far as Posey, if LA had a player willing to play as hard as him, this series may have turned out different.

"Not Tonight" Right? They should have fired back "Not Without Shaq".

Tim Duncan is a crybaby whiner... he has no respect for officiating unless it favors his team's incessant flopping and crying

June 18, 2008  02:45 PM ET

Bench for the Celtics is very disrespectful. I would pick Ray Allen these playoffs all I saw Tim Duncan was complain complain and complain and I had his back till this year

June 18, 2008  02:51 PM ET

well i disagree on Posey, and your idea of leadership (Kobe)...but I think you are dead on with Fisher, Finley, and Armstrong as 3 of the classiest. Part of the reason I watch less and less of the NBA each year is all the $hit talk after every trip down the floor.

As for the TD...I would take Ray over Timmy. When I think of Timmy, i think of double-doubles first, but secondly that whiny face he makes where his eyes look like they are popping out of his head.

June 18, 2008  02:53 PM ET

Gotta go with Duncan after this incident last year

June 18, 2008  03:50 PM ET

Wow. Justrun that was the stupidest ejection ever!! Duncan should have ripped him in half for that.

June 18, 2008  04:05 PM ET

Dwight Howard's a btich
Ray Allen is moody

My choice is Paul Pierce

June 18, 2008  04:08 PM ET

Duncan

June 18, 2008  04:15 PM ET

Tayshaun Prince, never complains.

June 18, 2008  04:32 PM ET

Duncan.

June 18, 2008  04:35 PM ET

What no Rasheed for most disrepectful mention. And Paul Pierce is such a ****. Look at how he whined before the season until he got what he wanted. Can't respect that a bit.
I would have gone with Dwight Howard going into this season but the paternity issues make me question that. I would go with Fisher.

June 18, 2008  10:59 PM ET

grant hill imo

June 19, 2008  07:07 PM ET

I'd put Derek Fisher, Brandon Roy, Shane Battier, and most of all Yao Ming on the respectful list.

Have to vote for Confucius. He did have 3 entire arguments, and Tim Duncan is a good pick by itself.
