Anyone remember Yinka "Stinka" Dare??? I think the Nets drafted him a few years ago, that guy could have been beaten by three year olds. Can't believe he was a 1st rounder as well! I have a feeling he played like 300 mins or something and didn't get an assist. Can anyone verify that for me?
It's kind of odd to ask who is the worst of the 1000 most talented basketball players in the world. We wouldn't know these guys' names if they weren't good. It's like asking who is the stupidest Nobel prize winner (excepting, of course, the Peace prize).
It would be more suited to be "The worst NBA player you recall" and it would be suited for the "NBA Forum".
The players in the NBA aren't made up of the 1000 most talented in the world. Remember, many big guys are in the NBA just because of size, not talent. So the worst NBA player would have to be a big guy.
The worst NBA player ever would still wipe the floor with most of us. Heck, the worst Division I college player would probably wipe the floor with most of us.
Todd MacCulloch made ineptitude into an artform... though Shaq makes many look like that, I suppose. Mario Bennett is an excellent call, though I was going to say Rusty LaRue, another of the 98-99 Bulls
