Toughest player in the NBA?

[teaserpleaser]

Mid 30's, million dollar condo owner in one of the most exclusive areas of Los Angeles called Century City...Google it my good sir. And by your name "teaser pleaser" I can tell your the kind of guy who likes the "safe bet", hence the name teaser pleaser. Your probably the king of teasers. A big play for you is probably a $300 teaser, that probably makes you sweat real bad

TeaserPleaser rhymes and made me laugh since i play maybe 4 teasers a year... im not sharp enough to come up with a handle like sash Good news is i live in LA co as well you paid a mill for a condo when you could have a 5-6 bedroom pool on a golf course in an upscale neighboorhood about 20 min away still in LA co for a lil over half that good job by the way still dont believe any of this bullshit... i can be at your house in 20 -40 min from diamond bar depending on traffic let me know... i know Diamond Bar has homes starting at $350 k its a slum to you huh.... i'll come down and verify pm me for real.

[teaserpleaser]

Yeah what a loser. Big shots like us put a dime on a game and don't even think twice about it

[SASH]

No need to call bullshit on me my friend. I'm one of the few people left that is a man of his word

Ron Artest would destroy anyone else in the league.

Call him crazy or call him tough but it's a fact. Hard to believe he hasn't been mentioned.

Really hard to say that any player on the lakers is tough. I think people are mis-interpreting what tough means. Being tough means in part that you also have heart. I question mark all the players on the lakers toughness and heart, except #24

Artest is one of the best individal defensive players in the league. That's the definition of heart.

So does Kobe get a pass for quitting in the elimination game against Phx a few years ago because he ws wearing #8?

Talk about a misinterpretation.

[SASH]

Not sold on Artest as the toughest player in the league. "Tough guys" don't attack 170 pound fans

[C-Gold]

Toughest guy in the NBA?

Who is the tallest midget in the circus?

Artest will attack anyone. Is it right? Obviously not but it's not like he's KG who only picks on little guys and foreigners.

[Speedy88]

Ron Arest and Stephen Jackson.

Real tough guys go into the stands and punch NBA fans. End of debate.

[SASH]

Where did you get kg from???? I never said kg. How did kg come into the conversation???

Why do ppl still think Artest is good at D?

Why do ppl still think Artest is good at D?

He is no longer an elite defender. 5 Years ago he was the best defender in the NBA hands down. Ever since the battle in the palace where he went into the stands, Artest hasn't been the same player.

At one point in his career he was a top 10 player and the best NBA defender.

I know that but he can no longer stay with players jj barea whos not even explosive was blowing by him

[marcoloco]

i think alot of people in this thread have different definitions of tough

pretending to be hurt and still play is not tough in my books.
over reacting and then walking it off is not tough
getting beat up easily is not being tough

clearly seeing how someone got hurt, especially without the slow mo cam, and knowing, no doubt that hurt (like rondo last game) and then continuing to play. yea thats tough.
players who are just bruisers, that go in there and play rough and aggressive. that is tough to me.

players who take a beating and keep coming, a different type of tough

more than half the league is sissies who over react and many times you cant even see the injury.

[EDDIE MONEY LINE]

I think Ginobili is a tough dude too...I'm not a fan, but I respect him...dude never slows up or backs down...dude is wild, and goes hard on both ends of the floor

[TodayIsForgotten]

If we're talking about fearless to the hoop? Regardless of complaining. I'd say Lebron, Wade, Rose, Westbrook. They take some pretty hard collisions. Heart: Manu, Kobe, Rondo. Brute Strength? No one.

[GTS925]

KG.

[thebestthereis]

barea by far. smack to the face and rib checked by huge people types and no blood or ice needed. nobody else can say that.

[KspecialD]

D-Rose has to be up there, Right?????

[hockey216]

Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Ron Artest. No question in my mind.

[wilfor1]

Andrew Bynum

[hockey216]

rasheed obviously retired last year. but it's recent so i felt like nominating him. Artest used to be tough but i think therapy, his agents, managerr, etc. calmed him down after he got suspended the whole season for punching the fan.
