    darius miles; the team asked him to not come to practice or games, and just stay at home collecting his paycheck because they're afraid of his influence with the young players. I mean, there's the poison you have to put up with, and there's poison you fear. DMiles, you fear.

    I would probably have to say Ron Artest. I live in Sacramento and we all thought it was going to be the best thing when Ron-Ron was coming to town. His defense did help tremedously but the guy is a cancer in the locker room and is actually kind of a ball hog! He shoots a very low percentage from 3 point range and doesn't have the best jump shot either. He has already been in trouble 3 times since being in Sacramento and has already said he is going to retire (again)... I can't imagine what it feels like to have him as your teammate when the team is supposed to be focused on winning together.

    A couple of other people come to mind too - Steve Francis, Stephen Jackson (I know he did fantastic in the playoffs but come on), Zack Randolph, Bonzi Wells, and last but not least Vince Carter.

    People are saying Kobe Bryant... HAHA I'm a laker- HATER and even I'm not that ignorant. The guy is an all around baller. Sure he is cocky and is a ball-hog, remember that one guy MJ?! In sports you have to be cocky to be the best...Ask Jordan, Ask ALI, etc...

    Back to Vince Carter - He plays ZERO defense and settles for his mediocre three point shot way too much! Certain times in the regular season he can go off and carry a team but he can't do it the playoffs. VC is a highlight reel with fantastic ablities but chooses to rely on his jumper and fade away. He's also always in the headlines for whining about something and always threatening to leave a team. So here is my list -

    #1 - Ron Artest

    #2 - Vince Carter

    #3 - Steve "The Headache" Francis

    I dunno about those idiots who said Rasheed Wallace, he is one of the primary reasons Detroit is so dominate in the East.

    But I'd send superstars past their prime like Vince Carter, Kevin Garnett, T-Mac, Grant Hill, Chris Webber, Gary Payton, Kobe, and Allen Iverson over. The stars of yesteryear and people are willing to pay for these "veterans." And out of all of them, Kobe and Vince would do the most damage, because at least the others recognize that they are older now. And the only reason Shaq isn't on the list is that there are not many decent centers in the entire league in the first place where as there are a lot of decent players in other positions.

    Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest or Rasheed Wallace....

    My votes for Ron Artest. He is such a gifted defender but it seems like he can't keep out of trouble. Plus when he is not happy( which is always) he can drag a team down with him.

    Eddy Curry or Zach Randolph

    Kobe Bryant.
