    It has to be Crazy Pills dribbling like a fool then doing that crazy ass shot that most of the time either hits the backboard, or hits nothing. :D :D :D Every time he gets the ball and starts becoming Crazy Pills the crowd groans. :D :D :D

    absolutely the worst ever, Rafer Tear-Brick.

    I just cant understand it, how could you try the same shot again and again when you just cant do it. And he always attempt the shot at least once every game and making like 1 or 2 shot the whole season. And he continue it the next season.

    Come on, if you cant do it, then just try an alley-hoop or even a simple lay-up.

    Reason why i think others have some merit, Tmac heat check at least keep the defense honest. Same goes for SF3. Real bad shot selection but still sort of effective in its own way. Ron's fadeaway, I cant think of a good thing to say about it, but at least he do make the shot sometimes.

    Love Ron but he's the worst.

    Francis didn't have a lot of other options to go to on offense. He and Cat were the offense (not that he would have passed anyway but...)

    McGrady's "heat checks" when he was already 2/9 were frustrating but they still were better shots than Ron's.

    At least Rafer's teardrop was a high percentage shot (for any other player) and gave the opportunity for offensive rebounds and didn't bounce out to half court give the opposition a ready-made fast break.

    Ron's shots are just awful at times. It's not just that he is falling away shooting a shot that has almost no chance to go in but the fact that he dribble, dribble, dribbled for 12 seconds ignoring team mates is what really makes me cringe.

    It has to be between Rafer and Ron, I have to vote Ron because Rafer did not have too many chance to take many tear drops (only once for a while), which has less impact on the games, and Ron takes many bad selection shots which can drive one person mad.

    At least Tmac would actually make them when he was healthy, same with stevie.

    Rafer's tear drop was pretty frustrating.

    Steve Francis, dribble 23 seconds and then brick a jumpshot or create a turnover. Damn those sucked.
