Most Likeable Player?

Take lebron off that list, and you got mine.

It's strange how marajuana can ruin one players reputation, whereas domestic abuse doesn't seem to tarnish anothers.


Matt Bonner might be the most lik(e)able player in the NBA. He doesn't own a phone or a car. He takes the subway (TTC) to work when he isn't driving Pape Sow around (Sow owns the car but doesn't have a DL). Bonner has a computer and plays online cribbage against grandmothers, who he trash talks.

To me Wade seems like the most likeable guy in the league. I mean what's not to like about him? He's charismatic, humble, and is just seems like a good guy. He lets his game do the talking. I'd pick Wade.

Lebron, Paul, Wade, Yao

Wade and Yao.

I agree, right now it seems D. Wade is the most "likeable" (likable) guy due to the fact he really has no "gray" (grey) area in people's mind.

Much of being "likeable" (likable) has to do with being what people in society (the media and how they present people) perceive to be morally right, which is sad due to the fact what is moral isn't necessarily universal. I don't want the stars I watch being cookie cutter figures. l like D. Wade's humbleness as much as like Kobe's confidence, I like Manu's flair for which he plays the game and I like Duncan's low key style. I like AI's hip-hop look and I like Ray Allen's clean cut look.

Sorry for the rant.

Steve Nash.

Wow, did you know "likeable" (likable) is like the word "gray" (grey) in that there are two accepted spellings?

Anyway, who do you think is the most charismatic and likeable player in the NBA? And why?

Yao Ming
Lebron James
Dwyane Wade
Jason Kidd
Steve Nash
Or someone else?

If you happen to be a homer of one of these teams, please leave that player and consider only the others.

Lebron has dropped off my list as "likeable". He seems VERY cocky to me for some reasons. Maybe it's the photos he was in... it's the look on his face that says "I own this league" when clearly he hasn't shown anything yet. I don't even see that on MJ's face and even if he did show cockiness, he had the reason to.

Wade, Nash, Grant Hill

Dwyane Wade
Steve Nash
Dwight Howard
AK-47

Elton Brand hmm

Dwyane Wade.

Ron Artest.

It seems Wade is the most likeable and least hated player. Many people like him because he's humble. Second I would probably say Garnett because he works hard.

I'd also say Lebron but then there are fans who are tired of hearing how uber he is. Yao I don't know because he has his doubters. Steve Nash I don't know either because there's people who aren't sold that he's that great.

2nd that

Wade, Paul, Nash, Howard, etc.

Wade, Yao, Nash, and Shawn Marion.

I forgot Dwight Howard. He's 6'11" 250 of muscle and athleticism, but he's very polite and has a lot of respect for himself and others.

It's good that someone obviously cared about him and raised him well, but by the same token, is it genuinely his personality or just the way he's been programmed to act?

Richard Jefferson, Tayshaun Prince, Ray Allen.
