Basketball Player

The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    His first name is pronounced the same way as the internet slang.
    He elected to forego his remaining college eligibility at Duke after his freshman year to enter the NBA Draft.
    His refusal of the Bulls contract extension offer played a key factor in the team's decision to trade him to Cleveland.
    Despite posting solid numbers, he didn't make his NBA All-Star Game debut until his ninth NBA season.
    He was traded to the Bulls minutes after being drafted by the Suns (2004).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He and his family moved to the United Kingdom via Egypt in order to escape the political unrest in Sudan.
    He was inspired to become a basketball player, after he and his brother met Manute Bol, upon fleeing to Egypt.
    Upon honing his skills in Egypt and the United Kingdom, he moved to the United States when he was 14 in order to improve his game and draft stock.
    Years after fleeing, he returned to his home country of Sudan (2010).
    He became a naturalized citizen of Great Britain (2006).
