(FOUR) DENNIS SCOTT
Screw Dennis Scott! It’s not so much that Dennis Scott seemed like a bad guy or anything, but you just had to hate him. While he was with Orlando Magic, he was pretty much one of the best “party poopers” in the league. The Magic were never going to do anything. I know they got close once or twice when Jordan was napping, but I don’t think anyone expected the Magic to ever accomplish anything. I’m pretty sure even Shaq knew this. This is why Dennis Scott sucks. His party pooping antics would ruin things. His sharp shooting skills and Terminator-like drives were challenging.
(THREE) DAN MAJERLE
Screw Dan Majerle! He played for the Suns, the Cavs, and the Heat. What a jerk. I remember when the Bulls made this guy their whipping boy. It was fun while it lasted. Then the dude just started raining threes and becoming a problem.
(TWO) JOHN STARKS
Screw John Starks! When you grow up a Bulls fan, especially during the dynasty era, you are automatically programmed to hate any and all New York Knicks player. In this spot I could have went with Anthony Mason, who is the devil, or pretty much anyone to wear the lame blue and the pansy orange jerseys. The option of blasting Patrick Ewing is here, but for some reason I feel bad for him. He’s one of the only original Dream Team members to never get his own ring. With that, I look back at Ewing as a respectable opponent. But seriously, screw John Starks. That guy gets no remorse. He was a hacker and fouler for over ten years in the NBA. There was nothing graceful about this guy. He was the equivalent to an NBA pirate.
(ONE) BILL LAIMBEER
Screw Bill Laimbeer! He played the majority of his career in the 80’s, but he still managed to get in four or five seasons into the 90’s. Bill Laimbeer is a jerk and a half. At just under 7 foot, the man was a brick wall and giant. He was just an aggressive orge. He was a good player, but the perfect bad guy. He’s the guy you wanted to see your favorite players and teams overcome and dominate. Bill Laimbeer’s presence alone added intensity to the games. I’m pretty sure he’s the giant from the “beanstalk” story.
