LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
Like Tom Brady and the NFL, there’s something annoying about a guy who always wins. LeBron is the best player in the NBA. He has been for quite some time. Annd his teams have played in each of the last six NBA Finals. People may not want to admit it, but jealously is a large part of what makes LeBron annoying.
But it’s not the only part.
Like Draymond Green, LeBron is a complainer. He’s usually not quite as dramatic about it, but LeBron protests many calls that go against his team. Even blatant ones.
He’s also got a lot of the same flopping qualities as Harden. But unlike Harden, LeBron is a physical monster. In the real world, a little shove isn’t going to be enough to knock many men onto the ground, let alone men as big and strong as James.
Though, it does give other teams something to joke about.

Also, if Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was finally willing to take his famed letter off of the team’s website, we’re willing to let LeBron slide for his nationally televised decision to leave the Cavs and go to the Heat. That was seven years ago and James has more than made things right with Cleveland.
But LeBron has spent a good portion of 2016-17 publicly pleading for better teammates. This, is despite the fact that the Cavaliers have a historically high payroll.
Again, a lot of what makes James annoying is jealousy. But LeBron has made himself one of the game’s more annoying players in other ways, as well.
