NBA's Softest Players In The League

[jasongilmore]

Lebron James: Just watch the next time he gets any kind of contact. He falls to the ground way too easy for someone that is 265+. Just because he converts a lot of and 1s after contact doesn't mean he's not soft. He falls as easily as Vince Carter. Pay attention next year, you may doubt me now, but if you look at some of his footage throughout his career, you will see I am right.

Paul Pierce: see his act in the Finals.... (His last NBA Finals)

Vince Carter: and I'm not even talking about his shrinkage at the foul line the other night. I think one of the main reasons he doesn't bash on people like he used to, isn't because he has had a significant drop in hops, it's because he fears contact.

Can't really think of anyone else right now.

I would respect dude 100% more if he didnt do this. Even when he doesnt get fouled, he still has to look at the ref in disgust.

 

[copped]

are you stupid?

dirk is soft? dude balls out every time he hits the floor, did you not watch the san antonio series? I cringed every time he touched the ball...

he is clutch, he bangs, and plays his heart out...

to label dirk or manu soft and 'euro' is totally stupid...

you basically just went up and down the NBA list looking for non-black / non-european players and put a list of 'soft' basketball players together


you sir are an idiot.

Jamison I definitely agree with, I seen plenty of it as a Wizards fan over the years. Anyone who throws up them funky layups just to avoid contact is SOFT IMO.

at Dwight Howard being mentioned, he's the last physical big man left besides Shaq that's why he stays in foul trouble

Wrong. Amare talking too much about his "matchups" if you can call it that. He's overrated so much and he will and should not get a max contract. Also, Dwight can dish it out but cant take it, he thinks he can start the match up by elbowing and shoving and the person playing D on him wont do it back and when they do, he %%**%%#.

So I guess you guys dont respect Jordan or Lebron as well when they thought they got fouled. Im not saying they all got fouled everytime, but its working the refs and its been happening forever. Lame statement.

 

[cmoneymontana]

Channing Frye and Andray Blatche>>>>>ANYONE.

When was the last time you seen these to guys that are 6'11 dunk?????

Frye Shoots to many three point shots and Blatche thinks he is a guard.

 

[jonfarr]

Lamarcus Aldridge. He is ANEMIC to the paint...

No.   You can add Lebron and D Wade to that list, and more players who do this. 

Your just mad the Warriors have been lottery bound since '07.

Yeah, for someone who relies on their legs and speed, and is the lead off hitter on the team.....
God forbid that Furcal takes anymore time off this early in the season. 

 

[airjordan jb23]

VC isn't soft... excluding this season (which hasn't even been to bad) he's barely missed any games.

A lot of players on that list I don't agree with either.

3. Dirk---I'll have to agree with you on this one.
4. Zydrnas Ilgauskas ---He is a jump shooting center.
5. Tracy McGrady---Age and injury has caught to him.
6. Vince Carter---Totally disagree with this one. His first step has slowed down over the years, but he is still pretty aggressive.
7. Pau Gasol---He is the #1 guy in the league who makes the illusion of not being soft. Dude just adds the yells, facial expressions after a tip in to make it seem like he's not soft

8. Chris Bosh---His game isn't a power game at all. He is more of a finesse PF.

Who else ?

This is a better description of Pau Gasol than anybody on that list. Pau is infinitely greater than Bosh in this respect. Pau won't force anything down on anyone, but there's no denying how his post game has evolved... most notably his footwork and the soft touches on the ball.

 

[buc em]

Pau Gasol is the softest player of all time. His screaming for no reason and arm flailing is a disgrace to the game. Why can every player on the Lakers stare down a ref and scream at him for no reason and NEVER get a technical? They do it like every time that they miss a shot, it's amazing
Vince Carter is right behind him
Iguodala plays soft as hell for as athletic and built as he is. Thaddeus Young and Lou Will too
Devin Harris
Like half the Raptors roster
Charmin "I'm Jackin 10 3's A Game No Matter What Cause Gentry Ain't Takin Me Out" Frye

All the good things he's done and all the damage and pain he's played through... and this is what you decide to focus on?

He isn't the first person to complain about calls/non calls... nor is he the player that does it the most.

Just come out and say that you don't like him... it's okay, you're not the only one.

His softness prevents me from saying he is even a good 3rd option on a title team.

More hate.

Do you guys even know WHY you hate on soft players.

Soft players fold under pressure.

Soft players don't rise to the occasion.

Soft players aren't winners.

Pau is none of those.

Paul Pierce complains, cries, and deserves an Oscar like the best of them. But you know what... he's a winner. He finds a way to get it done and I can't hate on that... as soft as his character is.

 

[calibeebee]

this guy is probably the softest player in the league that nobody notices.  He really pisses me off sometimes.

im gonna put you on the same category as 80jerryrice80/92/milkandcookies as my favorite NTers

 

[high class scum bag]

i wouldnt say pau is soft....if you're going to say pau if soft then you have to say bynum is too..

dirk is not soft either, dude rarely misses games and he's pretty much carried a franchise on his back to 50 win seasons for 10 straight yrs..

He's been aggressive though, granted not all the time... But he has had his moments taking it to the paint.
Part of the settling I think has to do with age though, you have to remember he's 33 now... What SG's in the past haven't slowed down & settled over time?

A good number have.
