1 Kevin Garnett
Kevin Maurice Garnett is an American professional basketball player for the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National Basketball Association. You can rest assured that almost everyone outside of Boston hates Kevin Garnett. Right or wrong, they hate the antics, the yelling, the trash talking and the pounding of the chest like he's been cast in an R. Kelly video.
Still, you can't find a soul who doubts his work ethic and his unwavering passion for the game. It takes a passionate player to bust his behind, night in and night out

Jerry Alan West is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. Jerry West was a player who lived and breathed basketball. He dove after every loose ball, played through multiple injuries and repeatedly drove into the paint in the super-physical '60s.
