Most likeable teammate out of the top 10 if you are a role player?

KG

Why? He punches teammates.

[no pun intended]

Wilt Chamberlain. I would have loved to watch my teammate attempt 40 shots a game and dominate the floor. Makes life easier.

Yea tony parker said it publicly (in his french documentary) that during his rookie year Duncan said no more than 10 words to him the entire season. Parker said you had to win his respect in some way shape or form.

Can't speak for others though.

I watched them say more than ten words to each other in a single game.

They had no off the court relationship. Nothing about earning trust. Duncan, an introvert, and Tony, a 19-year-old French kid, had nothing to talk about.

And Parker doesn't hold it against him at all. But there are no others.

Manu's take:

Wade lost $11 million because of him in contract.

Anyone got any interesting quotes of a player ripping into an ex-teammate (star teammates)?

Any of Shaq books.

Everyone has a good word for Kobe but people say he's a not a good teammate. I'm confused.

But nobody liked Smush and is known to be a hot head. Even the Heat waived him for his behavior after 1 year having his best season with the Lakers.

Russell.

[Harison]

Didn't Duncan straight up ignore some of his teammates for like a year?

Magic or Hakeem.

Yeah, Parker complained Duncan didnt even talked to him the first year.

I would say Magic, Bird and Russell, in no order.

KG

KG isnt Top10, but yeah, he is "live or die for your friends" type and loved by teammates. Exception would be soft and crappy players.

From Kenny's stories and other people around the league, Hakeem was a very likable and honorable guy.

Mature Dream yes, but early Akeem was quite hot-headed and got into fights.

Yeah, Parker complained Duncan didnt even talked to him the first year.

No, he jokingly said that Duncan barely talked to him off the court, and he later said he exaggerated for the media -- Tony, Tim and Manu really get off on knowing how many gullible saps there are.
