Many sports blogs and websites employ a system of ranking teams based on their performance and prospective performance. Most sites call this system “Power Rankings.” We here at Knickerbocker Nation employ a similar system, only our ranking system is not put in place to value the competence or talent level of a certain team, but to measure the levels of douchebaggary in and around the NBA as a whole. So without further ado we present the first ever Douchbaggary Rankings. (This is how they fall during the first week of play of the regular season)
10. Carmelo Anthony
Don’t get me wrong, I am super excited about the inevitable sight of Melo in a Knicks jersey. I just don’t like any superstar who thinks he can force his way out of a city. Forcing trades is bad for the league, and the small market teams need to stay successful for the league to be.
9. Gilbert Arenas
He was saying all the right things, what happened? Even if you were faking an injury to get your buddy more playing time, why the hell would you announce it to the world? Are you that insane to think that that might not have been a great idea? Gilbert, you don’t have to act on every impulse that shoots through your head. (Forget I said shoot)
8. Sports Illustrated’s NBA preview Issue
Are you serious Ian Thomsen? The 76ers, Nets, Bobcats, and Pistons are better than the Knicks? The Pistons? Really?
7. Chris Bosh
I just don’t like followers. Bosh is like the kid being extra mean to the nerds just so the popular kids will accept him. He pretends he’s a superstar yet has never won a playoff series. Toronto is a cool city, way cooler than Cleveland, and I feel bad for them.
6. ESPN.com
Never have I been so addicted to a website that is so repetitive and redundant. I need help.
5. Sasha Vujacic
How the hell is THIS guy married to Sharapova?
4. The Haters
More specifically the racist haters. There’s a lot to be upset about regarding “The Decision.” If you have to resort to tweeting racial slurs at Lebron, then not only are you racist but also cowardly and more then a little bit of a huge loser. Tech racism is the lowest form of racism there is. Other racists think you’re lame.
3. Rudy Fernandez
Never has a player sunk his trade value so low so fast without using a firearm before.
2. Lebron James
Four words… Nationally Televised Cleveland Steamer.
And our number 1 douchebag is…
1.James Dolan!!!
Who else would it be? He will remain number 1 until he dies, sells the Knicks, or both.
