15 NBA Stars You Would Be Embarrassed to Have as a Facebook Friend

We all have those friends. Those Facebook friends we don't know why we friended. Some are the ones you actually don't know them. Some are the ones who just post non-stop. And some are the ones whose posts would give your dear Grandma a heart attack.

NBA stars are no different. Most people would be stoked to be "friends" with a NBA player... I mean, come on! You can brag about knowing that Kobe is eating out at Red Robin, get the real inside scoop about who Kevin Durant's favorite artist is, or stalk Dwayne Wade in cyberspace... the jokes of social networking!

But there are some NBA players who you'd seriously wonder why you friended in the first place. We all have those friends, my friends. So let's take a look at 15 NBA stars who you should never friend. 

Kwame Brown

The biggest bust in the history of the league. Need I say more?

Adam Morrison

Not only was Adam Morrison a bust coming out of Gonzaga, but he apparently doesn't realize how to groom himself in a way that wouldn't scare young children.

Seriously, Adam. Could you look any worse?

Chris Bosh

After a fourth straight loss last season came at the hands of the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat Head Coach Eric Spoelstra said: "There are a couple of guys crying there in the locker room."

We all know who that crybaby is, right?

Devin Ebanks

When it was announced that Ebanks would begin the season as the Lakers' starting small forward, I imagine every Lakers fan rushed to add him on Facebook and Twitter. Only, we found out quickly that he really wasn't that good.

Lakers players will always get the follows, but once they turn out to be duds, drop them like a hot potato. 

LeBron James

Don't get me wrong, James would be great to have as a Facebook friend 364 days out of the year.

That one day you wish you didn't have him eventually comes when his team is knocked out of the playoffs and then entire world comes down on him for choking.

Of course, that whole "Decision" business wasn't a cakewalk, either. 

Patrick Ewing Jr.

Maybe you thought you were adding Patrick Ewing Senior. Well, nope. You got Junior, who plays just 2.7 minutes a game for the New Orleans Hornets, who had the fourth-worst record in the NBA last year.

Maybe if Senior accepts your friend request, it would all balance out. 

Michael Jordan

Who wouldn't want MJ as their Facebook friend?! Well, when his team is the worst team in the history of the league, that would get pretty darn depressing.

And if all he does is upload his new Hanes commercials... thanks, MJ. We've seen enough of you and underwear. 

Metta World Peace

Where to begin with this one?

First off, Ron pretended to have the inside scoop on the NBA lockout ending. Of course, it lasted for nearly two more months. 

Then he had his named legally changed to Metta World Peace. Do we even need to explain that one?

You can change your name as much as you want, Mr. Peace. But when you pull an elbow of this magnitude, you have no business having "peace" in your name.

Keep the rest of it though. Maybe you could add another word at the end... Like "Metta World Embarrassment" or "Metta World Flagrant."

Or perhaps "Metta World why did you sell your championship ring; you're never going to win another?!"...

Vince Carter

Vince Carter is one of the biggest crybabies in the history of the league. Just imagine him updating his Facebook every time he gets 'injured'...

"Seriously guys, my left knee feels like it exploded!... This is the end!"

"Man my friends, my right knee... I don't know if I'll ever play again!... Wait, I mean my left. My left is hurt. My right one isn't that healthy either."

"Tests came back on my left knee. Somehow it's all ok. Back to the court!"

And then tomorrow, you get to see it all over again...just imagine if he found a way to chuck threes over the Internet.

Eddy Curry

You know that if you friended Eddy Curry, your Facebook wall would be overrun with Curry's "checking in" at restaurants.

"Eddy Curry has checked in at Miami Waffle House"... "Eddy Curry has checked in at Miami Buffalo Wild Wings".... "Eddy Curry has checked in at Miami Red Robin"...

And this is a guy who is so bad, he can't even get playing time in Miami's big-man corps when Chris Bosh is injured. 

Lavoy Allen

Lavoy Allen was named the 500th best player in the NBA, as ranked by ESPN. The rankings included players from 1-500. Meaning Allen was the worst player in the NBA.

That isn't exactly true. He certainly isn't THAT BAD a player, as evident by a 12-point scoring, 6-for-6 shooting output against Boston in the playoffs.

But when ESPN puts you at the very bottom of the NBA rankings? Ouch. 

Hasheem Thabeet

Everyone would love to friend a No. 2 overall selection, right? Of course! Until that No. 2 overall selection ends up being a dud of epic proportions.

Thabeet went No. 2 to Memphis in 2009 and he'll be lucky to be in the league next season. He was drafted because of his size before anyone realized he seriously couldn't play. 

Brian Scalabrine

Remember that period in NBA history when Brian Scalabrine was the coolest player in the league? Well, except not really. He was so terrible that it was "hip" to like him. Yep, Scal is the best player in the league! MVP! MVP!

Just don't add him as a Facebook friend, or someday, someone will notice.

"Dude, you actually friended Scalabrine?"

"Yeah!... Scal is super cool, man! MVP!"

"... Um... you know we aren't serious, right?"

It may be cruel, but it's true. Hip jokes only last so long. 

Rajon Rondo

Normally, you'd love to have the super-talented Rondo on your friends list. But after last night, when he showed up to the post-game press conference dressed in this Star Trek-like monstrosity of a outfit... 

He also looks like he could be designing a superhero costume. Rondo-man, able to leap tall building with a single bound! But if he uploaded this pic to Facebook, you'd "hide" it quicker than his dribble-drive first step.

Gilbert Arenas

We all have that one friend who we always wonder why we friended them. You know, the ones who will suddenly go on a absolutely must-be-drunk rants. Just check out one of the many crazy tweets that the former superstar-turned-laughing stock posted.

"

#youknowyouugly if ur a SINGLE MOTHER...lmaoooooooo sorry but thats funny...Single mothers out there its a joke...I wanted to be the one with the best line.

"

This is also the guy who treated his twitter followers through a whole blind date.

Heck, he'd probably be amusing at first. A Facebook fight could be a popcorn-munching enjoyable affair. But when he goes on and on and on...

Yes, I get that he's trying to be funny, but he's trying way too hard and the only funny thing about Arenas is that he's somehow still in the league.
