Basketball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a very selfish player.
    He is a troublemaker.
    He has a long rap sheet.
    He has spit at fans and airport personnel.
    He was convicted of marijuana possession in May 1997.
    He spent two days in jail for failing to perform court-ordered community service, which was the result of a charge for kicking a woman in the back after an argument at a 1994 autograph signing.
    He has been busted for illegal cell phones and drag racing.
    His papers at UNLV were obviously written for him, with his name being spelled ‘Isiah' on some and ‘Isaiah' on others.
    He played for 3 colleges and 5 NBA teams.
    As bad as the Atlanta Hawks were (28-54 in the season he was there), they chose releasing him over keeping with him because he was such a pain in the ass and they didn't want to deal with him anymore.
    He was arrested on charges of kidnapping a female acquaintance (January 26, 2006).

Why he might not be annoying:

    As a rookie with the Timberwolves, he won the 1994 Slam-Dunk contest with a nasty dunk dubbed the ‘East Bay Funk.' He went between the legs in midair and threw it down.
    He reportedly apologized to Trailblazer teammates for some of his actions.
    He could score on anyone.
    As a role player for the Lakers, he didn't get into any trouble and won a ring.
    When he wanted to be, he was one of the best shooting guards in the NBA.
