The Top 5 Most Entertaining (Not Always the Best) NBA Players
This is a list of the most entertaining players to ever grace the NBA. By no means is this an all-time great list, it is a list of players who have blessed NBA fans with incredibly hilarious moments. With funny quotes, bloopers, and on-court antics, these five players have given us incredible memories that will have you laughing every time you think of them.
5. Javale McGee
Some players are hilarious without trying to be. Unfortunately that’s the case for Javale McGee. The Shaqtin A Fool all-time great has one of the most prolific blooper highlight reels in NBA history, and that is why he has landed at number five on this list.
4. Nick “Swaggy-P” Young
The self-dubbed “Swaggy-P” hasn’t always been the best player on the court, but he is always one of the most entertaining. From giving us hilarious quotes, to becoming a meme, to wild celebrations after made (and missed) shots, Swaggy-P was a born entertainer.
3. Dennis Rodman
Dennis Rodman was one of the most tenacious rebounders the NBA has ever seen. Averaging 13.1 rebounds per game over the course of his career, his rebounding skill was somehow overshadowed by his eccentric personality. Frequently showing up to games with a different hairstyle, clashing with referees and other players, even becoming a professional wrestler, the man was one of the most entertaining players on and off the court that the NBA has ever seen.
2. Shaquielle “Shaq” O’Neil
One of the most dominant forces to ever play in the NBA, Shaq averaged 23.7 points and 10.9 rebounds per game over the course of his hall of fame career. His stats are just the tip of the iceberg with this all-time great, as he had one of the most flamboyant personalities the NBA has ever seen.
- Lance “Make em’ Dance” Stephenson
The most entertaining player currently in NBA is by far Lance Stephenson. The man was born to be a showtime Laker, despite not having the skill. He plays like a Harlem Globetrotter, despite not having the skill of a Harlem Globetrotter, there is no question why he is number one on this list.
