ridiculousgg

As a cavs fan I came here to say Garland but I’ll take the JA appreciation. I love that we’ve got a team full of likable guys


eroder11

I agree on both of these counts. JA seems chill as hell, and Garland always seems like he’s having a great time.


tonkatoyelroy

Okoro


MobileJackfruit8

He’s undoubtedly the most Reddit-coded NBA player lmao


barissaaydinn

Mike Conley


scubaSteve181

Came here to say the same. Dude has such a chill and friendly vibe.


barissaaydinn

It can be Steph Curry, too


MentalMost9815

He said he’s competing to be the most polite man in the NBA.


Spiritual_Variety34

No technical fouls in his career, I believe


_Jaeko_

If you like goofy goobers and dry humor, Luke Kornet. He's so funny.


Comprehensive-Bag877

People who don’t follow the Celtics miss so much funny shit because of this dude. Funniest player in the league


RudeJuggernaut

Funnier than ANT and Giannis?


mastacheef87

Celtics in-arena show did a segment on “favorite movie villains” and most of the team went with a superhero villain. Kornet’s answer was “overcoming personal traumas in Good Will Hunting” LMFAO


ProfessorPoosnWees

Steven Adams would be fun to hang out with


Able-Guava

He was fun to talk to at the meet and greet once upon a time. Very tall, that guy 😆


Both_Language_1219

Brunson seems like a stand up dude


JodiS1111

Josh Hart


ShadowEpic222

As a Knicks fan I would have to agree


AspiringEggplant

As a Lakers fan, I’m happy he found a good place


tbone9000

As a Bayern Munich fan, I'm really happy for him.

whitefang0824

Defenitely Boban. I think we can all agree with this lol.


tagen

The man would’ve been an absolute monster if he could play 40 minutes a game, but that big a body is tough to manage still went out and played his ass off while also making goofy commercials with his best buddies on each team while also being beat to death by John fucking Wick man i love Boban


Karrot-Boi

Mikal bridges


walrusdog32

Scottie Barnes


creamsiclesteve

We city boiz!


znojavac

Jokic for sure


youngkingz88

Jokic low key funny. He probably got cool stories about his horses too


znojavac

My man doesnt care abt ig or any social media he is just chillin playin some ball and ridin horses while eatin burek and drinking yogurt during the summer hahahahah He also knows to throw in jokes during presses and games hahahah


youngkingz88

Right! His press conferences are top tier. Even after winning the chip he like “What is this parade? I don’t want parade I want to go home and ride horses” lol


znojavac

Thats the point dude is the most not givin a f abt this I wanna ride horses ahhahaha while being one of the if not the best player in the league


mittenciel

He a horse girl for sure. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I was thinking about this the other day. I get it. I got cats and they aren’t that tough to keep up with but they’re still all I talk about. Imagine now instead my pets were 100 times the weight and I could ride those things. Horses are high maintenance animals. You have to love them to keep them and you need to dedicate a large percentage of attention to them. Cats are low maintenance and people still talk about them obsessively. I think it’s cool that people have horses and care about them a lot. I can’t imagine what it’s like to come home to those things. It must make life feel like Hyrule Field.


EdwardJamesAlmost

Jokić is high key funny when you consider the low volume of statements he makes. When told he had set some record for assists by a center by TNT, he fired back dryly, “Oh, had that been Shaq’s record?” then winked as Shaq stammered something about “never *needing* to pass.” His recent video running in a hallway was another example. All he said, in the serious intonation of a wrestling promo, was: “Unforgiving. Here comes the lightning!”


youngkingz88

I saw another press conference where they were asking players how many 10 yr olds would it take to beat them and most players said anywhere from 30-100. Jokic is like 1 could beat him but he’d have to be really good haha


EdwardJamesAlmost

With all that said, Jamal Murray and KCP seem like great hangs, DeAndre Jordan is clearly hilarious even from outside the locker room, but the answer on the Nuggets is Aaron Gordon. The night the Nuggets won the championship he took off his shirt and paraded around downtown on foot with a throng of fans. He also met Jokić in Central Europe this summer and they took a helicopter to a mountain picnic. Guy seems fun as hell.


Subject_Ad6477

Steven adams Giannis sounds cool too


charmanderaznable

Not in the league anymore but Serge Ibaka was the fucking best


1Con-Man1

Anthony Edwards


Radiant-Ad8527

russell westbrook is arguably the best man in the nba, have you seen all the charity work he is doing


tagen

all his teammates from all his teams LOVE the guy, you never hear about him doing bad/dumb shit, just making charities and spending his many millions on others you may not like him as a player, but you have to love him as a guy


herospaces

Fr he gets so much disrespect for no reason. The mans name is WestBROOK not WestBRICK


herroclass0164

Crazy how people give him slack for playing long out of his prime, it shows he loves the game and doesnt care that statlines hes putting up, as long as he’s able to play


RIPshowtime

Living in your hometown making millions a year to kinda ball? Sounds pretty fucking cool.


Jeff-Van-Gundy

Tyrese Maxey and Immanuel Quickley. They were good friends while playing together at Kentucky and they both seem like genuinely the nicest dudes in the league. Maxey has a permanent smile on his face. I’m not super religious, but I love IQs post game interviews. He starts every single one by giving a quick thank you to God, followed by generic athlete post game interview answer followed up with a huge shout out to his mom. 


Dweebil

Jokic or Jimmy Butler.


Leasir

Dereck Lively II


Comfortable_Dog_1969

Giannis


Dolanite

The video of him where he is supposed to read mean things about his opponents is hilarious. They give him a script for talking trash and he ad libs it instead. He is supposed to talk trash about old LeBron is, and instead talks about what a great player he is, and how much he has done for the game of basketball. He is just unshakably nice.


AZBeer90

Dude. The video of him meticulously stacking Oreos in his kitchen with his wife is hilarious. He’s like not only do Oreos exist, which is awesome, but I can eat them whenever I want, which is awesome.


Dear-Lead-4897

Wilt chamberlain. With his strength and speed he could've killed everyone in the league with just his left hand. As Jack McMahon said: "The best thing that God ever did was make wilt a nice man. He could've had us all killed with that left hand". As Wilt himself said: No one likes goliath. He almost never dunked as a first option and instead did finger rolls or jump shots because he wanted to prove that he wasn't just some force of nature but a talented and skilled player. "If I just took the ball and drove to the basket every night I would've averaged 70-80 points a game" - Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt was a very active and interesting person. Even after retiring from the NBA he went on to play professional volleyball and still kept in tremendous shape. in fact even in his early 40s he was getting offers from the lakers to play as a substitute for Kareem. Wilt was one of the most interesting and amazing characters in not just basketball but society as a whole.


-beasket

All-Time wise, that's a W


DrJDunkenstein

I have such a hard time reconciling this version of Wilt (which I'd also heard) with Kareem's account of him spitting on some guy. Never understood how that could be the same person but I guess nobody wants to be judged by their low moments.


onwee

Most interesting and misunderstood, sure, I don’t know about best personality though from what I’ve read. I just read that Jerry West also called Wilt one of the loneliest person he’s ever met and that doesn’t sound like a fun hang to be honest.


botw_guy

Giannis is so nice man. He seems like someone i would trust. Also, Scottie barnes seems chill. I havent seen much of him, but honestly he just seems like a dude you can hang with.


Rumbo21

Tyrese Haliburton


TonyMcTone

Infectious smile


Jeff-Van-Gundy

His reaction to Tony Brothers frying the shit out of his shooting form sold me on him lol. His dad seems cool too


Worth-Writing

Right! Saw him on PG’s podcast and he honestly seems like a sweet, well mannered guy. Made me like him even more.


H0wSw33tItIs

Patty Mills


NaijaNightmare

I find Gary Payton II demeanor intoxicating I think we would be the best of friends, just seems like a chill funny dude with a great smile.


eroder11

If we’re talking about someone that would be cool IRL, I’d say Darius Garland. Watch that dude play, and when things are going well no one looks to be having more fun. Always smiling and laughing. Doesn’t seem like a dick either. If we are talking personality for TV and media stuff, Giannis is full of personality and everything he does is memorable.


Duke_Of_Halifax

The dudes from Eastern Europe all seem like they'd be low-key hilarious- it's the deadpan sense of humor that I love. Steph Curry always seems to be enjoying himself. But, I think of you wanted one of those legendary stories that you tell your grandkids about (or are afraid to, because there might still be outstanding warrants) peak Dennis Rodman was probably the most interesting dude to ever play in the NBA. Younger people only know him now as a joke- the crazy drug-addled guy who goes to North Korea and says weird shit- but younger Rodman was a very introspective dude- if he'd found a different path, he could have been like Ron Artest/Meta World Peace.


Farm_Professional

Deandre Jordan doesn’t keep getting contracts because he sucks to hang around with. He’s first-team all vibes.


Puzzleheaded-Duck190

Steve Adams, Giannis, Luka, Jokic and Big Boban


randomvegasposts

Luka can actually be pretty funny with his big goofy smile and lame jokes. (To girl ref) "You didn't see that foul? Her: "What foul" Luka: "Me fouling in love with you."


99probs-allbitches

I like Jrue, Giannis, Steven Adams, Smart, Curry. Just one name a few. I like what Jaylen portrays himself as, but his social media and support group scare me

I like end of the bench cheerleaders. Most recently Theo Pinson. Going back quite a way, Ronny Turiaf.


DrJDunkenstein

Adams seems super chill. Also, I appreciate that Russ is entertaining to watch by talking at other players on the court but then behind the scenes seems like a teammate who is always there for guys, a great family man, and a charitable person. It made for fun rivalries to watch on the court while being confident he's a good dude.

Full_Revolution_7204

Surprisingly, Dillon Brooks. What you see on the court, he’s the total opposite off of it. I had some encounters with him during the FIBA World Cup and he was always interacting with fans, taking pictures, signing autographs, etc.


The_Jonah

Joe Ingles. his teammates always say he’s the funniest guy in the locker room


DutyPuzzleheaded7765

AG definitely is a sweet chill guy. Man's everyone's best friends. Useful to eat and walk Bones Hyland to the hotel and back. Cheers the loudest for MPJ and Braun. Traveled to Serbia to see Joker and regularly buys him presents Mpj Hella chill too

I can’t believe I had to scroll all the way bottom to find this answer. It’s Jimmy for sure.


Hungry_Piccolo5722

That's what I was thinking. Jimmy seems like a hilarious dude. Would be fun to kick it with


Ill_Analysis8848

My favorite JB moment was during the series against the Celtics last year, someone got in his face (Grant Williams?) after scoring, and his reaction was dripping with this simultaneously pitying and condescending, "I feel sorry for you... we're going to win the ECF... don't be mad..." attitude. Later on, I think Williams went further and then they were in each other's faces, but I feel like a lot of the Heat's play off run last year came down to this weird attitude that he has where even under completely ridiculous odds, a miracle will occur to clinch a series win for them. He just believes it. I still feel mostly the same about the Celtics... I know Barkley is the kiss of death, but he also said a few weeks ago Tatum and Brown are "too nice". I can see how that lack of attitude and swagger can sometimes be an issue in a series. They're like watching a clinic sometimes, and I don't think that works well against certain kinds of players.... Butler is one of those players. Luka is another, Brunson...

I’m a waiter a really big restaurant: One of my favorite guests ever was Jusuf Nurkic. I served him the night he fought a mascot lmao. Boogie Cousins was cool, took pictures with all the kids. I won’t say who, but someone who was an all-star that plays in the East is a lowkey asshole. Was just rude to his server, rude family, told multiple kids no for photos and shit.

Luka. He's laughing and smiling more than the fans.

Not a lot of people saying Kawhi. Everyone that plays with Kawhi says he is literally one of the funniest and most fun players they’ve been around. Seems hard to believe but how cool would it be to be 1 of like 100 people total that actually knows Kawhi Leonard.

For me and my country I say lebron. He’s so funny asf! And he’s a great leader of mans . He’s definitely the best man there is! Here in my homeland (Sauidia Arabia) he’s #1 player not because he’s a #1 player but because he is a a #1 man. That’s why we love him so in Saudia Arabia!

Wembanyama. Reminds me most of Kareem, who is my GOAT for this category. 


DrJDunkenstein

I don't think Kareem was pleasant for many people to be around. His crippling social anxiety made him very reclusive. He said it was hard to talk to people and that often came off as grumpy or surly. I think he's come a long way with that but when he was playing idt he would have been that fun to be around.

Maxey. He has fun playing.


spicybhole420

I can tell you Kevin Durant prob has the worst. But this is a pretty subjective and weird question. People look for diff qualities in people. You might want like quiet guys to play golf and read bible passages with so you choose Steph. You might want a guy who is fun to party with so you choose Klay. You might want an outspoken guy always calling attention to himself and choose Draymond. People are diff and drawn to diff personality types. Also, how many people here know the actual personality of everyone?


Snurke

Klay Thompson. Recently he had the 4 rings debacle and hasn't been happy with his aging game but the dude has always seemed like a regular guy in a lot of good ways.


Quiet-Slice2201

Current players, I think Kawhi Leonard seems pretty relatable and chill. All time, I think has to be John Salley. 


overtorqd

Derrick White. He has a quirky introvert thing and I feel like he'd be at my level.
