Antoine Walker

[Alacron]

I've been poking fun at 'Toine ever since he was jacking up 3's with the Celts. Is there a easier guy to laugh at in the league? What's awesome is he doesn't even know he sucks; he thinks he's the best player on the floor at any given time. You know who that guy is, he's the one at the gym who shouts directions at his teammates, demands the ball every trip down the floor, shoots 20% (though not realizing it) while helping off his man who is nailing one open shot after another.

The point: the current Roland Ratings (from 82games.com) have Walker at the very bottom of their rankings, #200 in the league. Basically, for every 48 minutes Walker plays, his team is down 15.1 points. For every 48 minutes he doesn't play, his team is up 7.8 points, meaning he's responsible for an incredible negative 22.8-point swing every 48 minutes.

Which I guess means, in theory, if Walker sat out every game the Hawks could have a winning record.

Now there's a resume killer.

Laff. That guy is hooooooorrible.

I couldn't agree more.

Nothing like a 4 who does nothing but shoot three pointers, doesn't play defense, and can't make a free throw to save his life.

Hey, crapus, that sounds like you are describing Antoine Walker to a T.

I breathed a sigh of relief when he left the Celtics. To think, when they were making the playoffs a couple years ago, he was their main man! (According to the sportscasters)

Given how the Celtics have fared since, they might be having some second thoughts there.

Twoine's a weird guy. Very easy to make fun of, but coaches keep on playing him major minutes and he continues putting up big inefficient numbers. I wouldn't want him on the kings, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the whole ungainly lazy mess of a game he's got actually ends up being effective on some level, although that level may only be "best player on a bad team".

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

What is your definition of "inefficient numbers?

 

[Brewer16]

Kinda sad for me, he was awesome at Kentucky, too bad that didnt translate too well to the nba

Shawn Bradley

The only guy that can be laughed at more is Shawn Bradley of the Mavericks. He always has a hot temper, and when he does play he gets dunked on, driven past by, or gets his shot blocked. If you watch a Mav game that is a blowout, expect to see him miss wide-open jumpers or get the ball stripped away from him.
