Nocioni is 3rd Dirtiest Player in the League as Voted by Players

On this board you might want to be specific -- "Evans" refers to Reggie, Tyreke's cousin.
Kind of surprising about Noc really. I would have agreed wiht that assesment several years ago, but there really don't seem to have been many shinnanegans since he arrived in Sacto. But I guess the players would know best on this one.

Kobe is by far dirtier than Noc. But whatever. It was voted on by the players and a lot respect Kobe enough to where they won't say anything. But Noc probably gets ZERO respect throughout the league. One of those guys where you hate him when he is on the other team but can stomach him when he is on yours. Funny how the Lakers have 2 players on this list......

Yeah Kobe should be on that list. He's thrown enough intentional elbows and cheap shot guys from the back that he deserves to be on there.
Still one of my favorite videos. Kobe getting smacked by Chris Childs:

The funny thing to me is 90% of these lists are the best defenders in the league. Particularly wing defenders who play aggressive, physical defense. There are some players who are truly dirty like Reggie Evans, but a lot of these guys just play hard and muscle you up on every play and annoy the heck out of the opposition with their relentlessness.
Relentless + scrappy does not equal dirty.

People, this was voted on BY THE PLAYERS. Hence our speculation or observances about who is dirtiest in this case don't amount really equate. If this was one media guy's list, or even polling media members or whatnot, you could easily say well I watch the games too, and the bozos got it wrong. But since this was a poll of the players themselves, they are kind of in a position to know who's throwing little elbows in a way we aren't.
not to mention this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5n5WNmzfOo
Well those players might be considered dirty, but all are effective. Whoever said basketball isn't a contact sport probably never played a competitive game of hoops. There is always that one guy on the floor who's job is to go around and hack everyone because he has no other skills other than hacking. It can become an art form if you can get away with it and the refs don't catch you every time. You have 6 fouls to use, and they don't give you a prize if you finish the game with fouls left...
