Most Frustrating Player to Watch?

Postby Jeffx on Sun Jul 13, 2008 12:38 am

For me, it's Rasheed Wallace. This cat can be devastating when he wants to be. But for some reason, he can never put it all together. Sometimes I watch him and say to myself, "c'mon 'Sheed, get it going!"

For me it would have to be Lamar Odom. So much skill and he just doesnt seem to be capable of using it.

I have the same thing of "get going Odom, come on!!"

I'd say it was Vince Carter during his final season (or portion of a season) with the Raptors. Was just shooting 20 foot fadaways all day, never defending and really laboured around the court and was constantly yanked by Sam Mitchell.

Another player that I hated watching was Penny Hardaway. After seeing highlight reels of what you could have done and all the hype that surrounded him, you can't help but feel sorry for the guy that fell into obscurity.

Jarret Jack. So glad I no longer have to watch him ruin plays by charging into a pack of 3 taller defenders to try to get some effing stupid layup... at least not for the Blazers.

i'd say Sheed too...he could be so dominant, but he just doesn't assert himself at all...in life.

also, watching Manu is frustrating to me cuz he seems to throw up shit shots and bowl into people and still find a way to score trash. (N)

I would go with Vince Carter too. The dude can be devastating if he puts his mind into it, attacks the basket and doesn't settle for impossible long range shots, unfortunately that seems to happen less and less these days.

that was unececary and completely homer fueled.





I agree with Sheed, honestly im just tired of watching the same fade away 12 footer. It's great when it goes in, but i'd sure love to see him dunk and score inside more then 3 times a game...

Hands down its gotta be Antoine Walker for any Celtics fan. Hell, both times he played for "us" he would just frustrate the hell out of me.

And somehow, I still like him as a player....I can't explain it but I feckin love the guy on the court.

I completely agree. At times it just looks so easy to him when he's playing well, and other times it's like he's dumbfounded on what to do.

I have to go from what I see most of the time, and since I see the Clippers alot, then I have to say Chris Kaman. He looks so uncoordinated, turning fundamental shots into awkward tough shots, keeping his heels glued to the ground when he is two steps from a rebound.

Another one is Sasha Vujacic. "No don't shoot the 3 with a defender on you and lots of time on the shot clock! Pass it back to Kobe or Gasol or Fisher, please."

Shaq at the Free Throw line

Did you see Chris Mihm during Game 4 of the Finals when The Celtics had a winning comeback.. He seemed lost during that game, and I kept laughing at him.. It seemed he didn't even know how to play at all..

Yao Ming whenever he's blocked by smaller players (Nate Robinson)

The fat sack of shit might put up big numbers, but he certainly doesn't help his team when he is on the court. he has had opportunities, he just sucks.

Add Jason Kidd to the list. He is painful to watch now.

Randolph's been on two teams total. (One the imploading Blazers...and the Knicks...) And he keyed the Blazers near comeback from 3-1 down that one year. (The rest of you can look things up for a change.)

Was he the one who threw the dumbbell at Ruben Patterson (or vice-versa) and it wound up injuring someone else? Then there was that story about how the Blazer players were forced to go help give out Christmas trees and just huddled in a corner cursing and being rude to everyone.

Awesome team. I nominate the Clippers to assemble a team full of bad tempered criminals.

Most frustrating? Darko, who like Darrick Martin, has been shut down by the man and not allowed to dominate lest he make all others look like vegetables.

Yao by far. It's frustrating because he's still too soft and lets smaller players man-handle him. With his height he should be tearing it up, and he's always talking diplomatically and maintaining a neutral stance, he needs to drop the good boy image. Go and be like Yi and be a rebel, and hang out with girls in clubs at 4AM during closed training just a month before the Olympics.

No, I don't want Yao to suck like Yi.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

It has to be Mark Blount.

I cringed when I read that the Heat signed him.

edit:

Just scrolled through the forum and ran across Mickael Pietrus. He is a deserving runner-up.

This guy has so much talent. I've watched almost every game Golden State has played over the past two seasons. Pietrus might qualify for the player with the worst fundamentals in the game. He has a one track mind when he's on the court. If he takes it to the basket, he starts from the 3pt line and makes a bee-line to the rim. He picks up so many charges this way. He isn't able to adjust on the fly. Oh, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen him brick a 3 from the corner or worse yet, throw up an airball.

Pietrus, in all of his shittiness, hasn't led me to change the channel like Blount has. But he's damn close.
