Bad locker room players who were very good players

T-Mac was a dazzlingly gifted talent. So full of effortless finesse. It's like he rolled out of bed with all those skills. I doubt he worked all THAT hard to acquire them.

He reminds me of that character Shep played by Leon in 'Above the Rim'.

Once again, what about those Bulls? The vast majority of players outright hated Jordan. Jordan hated Cartwright so much because he was traded for his best friend (Oakley) that he constantly harassed him, even to the point of tears.

When was that? What I heard is Jordan tried to talk smack to Cartwright and Cartwright threatened to break his legs and Jordan chickened out.

In one of his first practices with the Bulls, Parish botched one of the plays and was amused to find Jordan jawing at him just inches from his face.

“I told him, ‘I’m not as enamored with you as these other guys. I’ve got some rings too,’ ” Parish recalled. “At that point he told me, ‘I’m going to kick your ass.’ I took one step closer and said, ‘No, you really aren’t.’ After that he didn’t bother me.”

No mention of Karl Malone. He threw teammates under the bus for his own failures. Almost immediately after signing a new contract he'd want more money. Hit on Kobe's wife!

If all of Mike's teammates liked Scottie more than him, then the people who criticize Mike has a point.

Being less well-liked than a teammate doesn't make you a bad locker room player, or a bad leader. Two different things.
