Dwight Howard, Atlanta Hawks
Take everything that’s been annoying about Carmelo over the years. Now multiply it by five. At that point, we might be entering Howard’s stratosphere of annoyingness.
That’s right. Howard has been so annoying over the years that we have to make up words.
Inability to get along with coaches and teammates? Check. Constantly wavering on trade demands? Yup. Howard has done that, too. The man couldn’t even get along with Steve Nash.
Howard also developed a well earned reputation as a rather cheap player.

Howard has now left three NBA teams on less than ideal terms. He has also never won a championship and while he’s made a few more deep playoff runs than Carmelo, many of Howard’s teams have had their seasons ended in disappointment.
When a player has annoying tendencies, one question has to be asked. Is he worth the drama? With LeBron James, the answer is a clear yes. With most of the other players on the list, it’s a fairly clear yes. In Howard’s case, though, the answer is not so clear.
