NBA Players who are making a bad name for themselves this month

As a faithful Utah Jazz fan, cursed to live in the land of the Spurs, I get the perspective of at least four teams, the Texas Trois and my hometown Utah Jazz. I regularly get to bounce ideas of of buddies who live in Boston, San Fran and Milwaukee just to stay in touch. But it's all on national tv, so most of the trolling that I do is merely to get the word on the street.

In any case, I thought it was worth mentioning that there are some characters playing themselves to the forefront, perhaps for reasons they regret. I won't bother to mention T-Mac here, the amount of scrutiny that poor guy gets is totally disproportionate to his failings. It's not T-Mac's fault that his game is wrong for the NBA!

Luis Scola - Looks like a decent player, however he is going to be deserving of a non stop, one and a half eyed T-Mac snarl for the remaining months of the off-season. He was having a pretty decent rookie season, showing that he could be a strong backup on a decent team. Sorry, no upside here, he's already 27. What's going on versus the Utah Jazz is that Scola is the recipient of a cerebral T-Mac pass-first program. Scola's response has been to throw every crisp received pass in the paint off the flat part that attaches the rim to the backboard. Scola will hang around the league for a few more years as an energy guy, but ultimately he'll find that energy guys never crack the starting lineup on teams 2-3.

Brendan Haywood - Already infamous for a made for tv movie of a rivalry with Etan Thomas, a rivalry that went to fisticuffs. Now Haywood is the guy who scared Nike execs and Knicks fans everywhere with a foul that knocked James out of the air and onto his headband.

Dwyane Wade - WHAT THE...: Dwyane Wade's New Girl
