Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

[Kashanova]

WHO IS THE DIRTIEST PLAYER IN THE NBA?

Reggie Evans, Raptors F 21%

Ron Artest, Lakers F 13%

Andres Nocioni, Kings F 6%

Anderson Varejao, Cavs C 5%

Kobe Bryant, Lakers G 4%

FAST FACTS

Only Varejao (85th, 5.2 fouls) and Nocioni (89th, 5.1) are among the top 100 in fouls per 48 minutes. Evans has been injured and doesn't have enough playing time to qualify.... Three of the top six vote-getters, including Hawks center Zaza Pachulia (4%), have played internationally.... The NBA's leading fouler, Wizards forward-center Fabricio Oberto (9.1 per 48 minutes), received zero votes.

Based on a survey of 173 NBA players

some of the choices really aren't a surprised to me, except evans maybe it's because I don't see him play much but I never thought of him as a dirty player

Bruce Bowen's impact is still being felt, The game's just not the same without his ninja kicking to scare off three point shooters.

I'm guessing lots of the Evans votes stem from this...

Rondo and Chris Paul are pretty sneaky.

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

ok i can see where evans got his votes from, also it really doesn't surprise me that kobe is on this list. I thought he would be #1

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

I think pretty much everyone on the Celtics could be on this list (except for Scalabrine). Anybody see what Big Baby did to Shaq after he hurt his thumb?

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

Man I forgot about what Big Baby did to Shaq. Now thats the definition of dirty. Kobe shouldn't be on the list.

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

Here's the complete list:
10. Jeff Foster
9. Joel Pryzbilla
8. Kenyon Martin
7. Kendrick Perkins
6. Zaza Pachulia
5. Kobe Bryant
4. Anderson Varejao
3. Andres Nocioni
2. Ron Artest
1. Reggie Evans

I don't necessarily players to judge their peers' abilities like scouts can, but I do trust that they know what they're talking about when it comes to this topic.

Kobe belongs on there from what the average fan has seen on the court. He does a lot of borderline stuff with his elbows and flailing.

Lot of surprises:
Zaza? LMAO. Pryz? These guys don't seem like the dirty type.

KG should be on there for his questionable screens.

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

KG is a dirty bitch.

and every time i see the lakers play Kobe is throwing a elbow or whipping his elbow into someones ribs...

dude is dirty as hell

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

Jeff Foster?

[ex carrabba fan]

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

I could see Foster being chippy. He's a scrappy rebounder, basically the only thing he brings to the table is getting boards. So I'm sure he does a lot of banging in there.

But Foster dirtier than KG? Na. LOL.

Lol.

Ask kaman about ball-grabbing Evans.

Re: Player Poll: Dirtiest Player in the League

Rondo and Chris Paul are pretty sneaky.

I'm kindly surprised there aren't more CP3 votes...I still remember the cheap shot he made against NCST while he was in college.

Yeah he should be #1. And he's the most overrated player in NBA history.....................................

I vote Reggie Evans after that grimey *** move.
