Dwight Howard and the 15 Biggest Goofballs in League History
The NBA is all business and there is absolutely no room for laughter or goofing around.
Well, okay actually there is a lot of time to mess around. I mean this about this; we have a whole big group of 20-40 year old men who are being payed millions of dollars to play basketball.
This is the environment where pranksters and jokers not only get some laughs, but also get a huge spotlight.
Here we are going to break down the 15 biggest jokers in history.
Please note: Most of these players are current players and that's simply because of the media which lets us hear about all the pranks.
Back in the day someone might have been a goofball, but there was no one there to report it.
15. Chris Bosh
1 of 15While the fact that he looks like a raptor might make him goofy enough, this video is just well, sort of crazy.
Check it out!
14. Dirk Nowitzki
2 of 15While Dirk is not known for his jokes, he is definitely one of the funniest guys in this league.
This is current, but his whole persona makes him a goofy character.
The way he almost makes out with the microphone at the press conferences and his idolization of David Hasselhoff are also good reasons for why he should be up here.
13. Joakim Noah
3 of 15Not so much his character as much as the way he moves.
If anyone watched the Bulls play you know what I mean. He is very goofy looking and also the way he tends to get very emotional during games is silly.
12. Dwyane Wade
4 of 15The second member of the Miami Thrice and the more popular of the group.
Wade loves to joke around with teammates and the media and the video to the left is one of the most popular instances of him fooling around.
11. Paul Pierce
5 of 15One of the best actors in the NBA (Oscar winner according to the video) is also one of the league's best characters.
We all saw the video of him leading the Celtics in a beautiful dance routine that featured the likes of Shaquille O'Neal and Kevin Garnett.
He loves fooling around and always has his IPhone ready.
10. LeBron James
6 of 15Probably one of the best dancers in the NBA.
LeBron is a well known clown and loves cracking jokes for his teammates. He also loves breaking it down on the sidelines.
However, I do have some beef with Mr. James.
I have a timer that worked like a charm and then I got LeBron's autograph on it, and it broke after the first 36 minutes!
What's up with that?!
9. Nate Robinson
7 of 15His skills as a comedian really came through when Shaq came to Boston and together they had some of the best chemistry in the locker room.
Forget the fact that Shaq eats four Nates for breakfast and appreciate the comedy.
8. Dwight Howard
8 of 15The video is all I need here.
7. Gilbert Arenas
9 of 15Guns!
Sorry, I have to say something related to firearms every single time I mention this guy, it's a tradition now.
Gilbert is, oops I mean was a good players, but unfortunately his "jokes" got him in some trouble recently.
I have a joke, Gilbert is the only player in the league with two guns that function better then his knees.
6. Kenny Smith
10 of 15Kenny is some character.
However, this really has only showed itself recently on TNT, but I am sure he was just waiting for his opportunity.
He is hilarious and this video will go down as one of the funniest moments in TNT history.
5. Ron Artest
11 of 15I would ask your psychiatrist for money back...
4. Dennis Rodman
12 of 15Next...
3. Charles Barkley
13 of 15Where do I begin with Charles.
His golf swing is pathetic, let's get that out of the way.
He is one of the most outspoken players the league has ever seen and with the way they are fining now, I doubt we will ever see another Charles.
I may be wrong, but I doubt it!
On Sir Charles can make that a dance jam.
2. Shaquille O'Neal
14 of 15He is the biggest personality the league has ever seen.
However, that doesn't mean he is the funniest or the goofiest. His antics range from filling cars with popcorn to running on the beach in a pink speedo to...well being Shaq.
Whatever that means.
1. Steve Nash
15 of 15Nash is the funniest player the league has ever seen as well as the goofiest.
Don't believe me?
Here is some proof:
