    The playground defines a ball hog as someone:

    1) who has never seen a shot they didn't think they could make.

    2) So "fockassed" on the rim, they never see an open teammate.

    3) A black hole that when ball enter, they never reappear.

    Can anyone throw out some of the NBA's best ball hogs (current and past).

    1) Jerry Stackhouse
    2) Antoine Walker
    3) Kobe
    4) Dominique Wilkins
    5) Cuttino (I couldn't resist)

    Hey guy, wrong forum.

    ------------------
    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    You forgot about the greatest ballhog of them all - Michael Jordan.

    Hey man--

    While Michael got up his fair share of shots, he also averaged 5.5 assists for his career. Not too shabby.

    Can't argue with any of the rest of those, though...

    i tottally agree on how cuttino is a ball hog, but somewhere on that list will be walt williams, not that he isnt a great shooter, but he controls the ball like he thinks hes a pg. he dribbles, and dribbles, and dribbles more than travis best does. thats pitifull, he needs to get to the corner wait for francis(not mobley, he wont pass)to get him the ball for him to drain his shot. come on wiz, we have seen you play and seen what u can and cant do, and we all know you are an excellent shooter, but god dangit pass the freaking ball!!!!

    Actually, when Wiz came out of college, he was a very good ball-handler.

    Mobley does pass.

    He had 4 assists during a crucial run where he scored or passed for 16 out of our last 19 points against Indiana. Mobley just needed a pick and the team just needed some more practice time.

    Guys...Mobley does look to pass, but it is hard to do when your coach puts you isolated on the wing. Finally, it looks like the team is ready to give Mobley a pick. It is a team effort.

    patience...

    Othello Harrington use to be called a Black Hole. When he was with the Rocks, if he could ever get someone to pass him the ball, it wasn't coming back out. I liked him anyway.
