Dirtiest Players in NBA History?

[BallPhunk]

The thing he did when he made jumpshooters come down on his foot to fck up their ankles was dirty and when he kicked amare on a dunk attempt..[/B]

YES - I was just about to post that clip. Pushing, grabbing, etc... is one thing, but I've never seen someone do something that could obviously hurt/end someone's career more than Bowen.

Lost ALL respect for that guy after the "sweep the leg" move on Amare and all the "step under their feet and break their ankle" moves.

I must admit, this is fun to watch though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZNwS...eature=related

After seeing pictures, Karl goes up more on my list. Hated to do it but it had to be done.
No current Jazz players are very dirty if at all.
Harprings just tough.
From a Jazz-hater standpoint, I can really see Harpring as the only "dirty" one but only if Im a hater.

But all I know is this---Bruce Bowen is #1 for sure. I wont say anything else.
Theres the pictures of him kicking and I dont know if anyone has posted pics of him kciking Amare on his way up or kneeing Nash.

Shaq isnt that dirty. You can have arguments for how he is, but Laimbeer, Horry, Bowen, several others listed and not listed before, are dirtier.

HOW CAN ANYONE SAY Shaq isn't that dirty? Have you SEEN THE SUCKER PUNCH HE TOOK at Alvin Robertson? Have you seen when he almost paralized Antonio Daniels with a dirty flagrant 2(that the FAKE refs only called a flagrant 1), Have you seen how he took a sucker punch at the back of Brad Miller's head? Nobod in MMA would even take a sucker punch at the back of somebody's head like that.

I was a fan of Horry, but I do have to admit that he is a dirty player.
He actually started a bench clearing brawl between the Rockets and Sonics in the 1993 NBA playoffs because of a dirty flagrant 2 foul.

How could it be a flagrant 2 if the call didn't exist in 1993? There were no levels of flagrant so quit exaggerating.

1. Shaq: Simply the DIRTIEST PLAYER TO EVER PLAY THE GAME.
The biggest bully the NBA's ever seen. Elbows defenders in the face, rams his shoulders into the defender, takes sucker punches at some of whom have their backs turned, commits flagrant 2 fouls on dunkers(even almost ENDED MJ and Vince Carter's careers after they tried to dunk on him).
During dunking on defenders he intentionally kicks them in the groin, knees them in the head, and elbows them after he lands, thows a quick forearm shiver on a guy 1/3rd his size(AK47), slapping Ostertag just because he shut Shaq down in the playoffs the previous year, etc.
Shaq NEVER EVER tries this kind of stuff on guys like Tractor Trailer or Anthony Mason whey they were guarding him, he's a CLASSIC coward and bully. I'd just love to see Mark Henry, Paul Wight or Dalip Singh give Shaq a taste of his own medicine.
Here are just a few of the tens of thousands of dirty plays Shaq has committed in his career.

Seriously, after reviewing all those "pieces of evidence" I've got to say:

What do you expect to happen, when a 320 pound guy tries to block a twig like Stucky while coming over from the weak side and misses the block? Imagine their roles were reversed and Stucky tries to block Shaq (yeah right, lol). You'd STILL post it as evidence of Shaq's dirty play, cause he'd have run right through him and Stucky would have landed in the third row.

Clearly Mutombo is a very dirty player. He constantly fouled Shaq in this series. With his face.

Giantgonzolez, this may be the only way we can get the message across:
