    Yao won the Worst Dribbler, Ron and Shane are among the most annoying, apparently...

    i think shaq is actually a pretty decent dribbler for a big man. odd that he is up on that list.

    I can probably agree as Yao being close to the top in dribbling. But the annoying is kinda throwing me off, especially when Bruce Bowen is leading the list. If they mean dirty by annoying, then Ron and Shane shouldn't even be on that list... Shane Battier plays pure defense, he doesn't get into your head or anything, he just plays great defense. Same goes for Artest, Artest is a little more physical so he could kinda get in your head, but still... I don't like both of them being on that list unless it's a positive thing.

    Yao begs to differ

    I'll have to watch him more closely next time.

    Ron Artest is the worst dribbler in the league.

    Yao's is actually pretty good, but he is so slow.

    look a few posts up


    i dont think yao is that bad of a dribbler is just that you never see him dribble outside of a few dribbles in the post where he gets the ball stolen a lot. same with shaq.

    there was a vid that CCR made a while back that had some pretty sweet footage of Yao dribbling through the legs and all

    Yao is a better dribbler than 70% of the centers in the league...you can't tell me that some scrub like Erick Dampier is a better dribbler than Yao.

    It's hard to say .. how often does Eric Dampier actually dribble the ball?

    How is Shane Battier even on that list of the most annoying players?

    I guess the Kobe fanboys voted for him.

    You actually have to touch the ball on offense to dribble. Dampier, if I'm not wrong, has touched the ball twice on offense this year.

    It's good to be on that list.

    I doubt they would name someone who can't defend as annoying.

    Bruce Bowen's Kung Fu kicks, eye pokes, foot under jump sure are annoying as hell.

    Incorrect. The correct answer is Luther Head.

    No he isn't and when it comes to losing the ball on one dribble, Yao has to rank number 1.
