SPIN-OFF.

James Harden.
I wonder if Brett Favre would have been up there before he retired/unretired 34 times.

Harden became the flopmeister in the playoffs and he lost me.

Troy Polamalu


I can't really think of any.

Kyrie Irving?
Michael Young?

Larry Fitzgerald
R.A. Dickey
Grant Hill (had he not been a Dukie)

Of the past.....anyone ever not like Tony Gwynn?

Chipper Jones, for sure. There's a guy whose whole career (and his farewell tour) was handled with nothing but class.

TIM TEBOW!
Peyton Manning
Shaq

Even if you are annoyed by the Tebowmania, which I happen to love, you have to choice but to like Tim Tebow as a human being. Even if individuals don't believe in god, they respect him for not only standing up for his beliefs, but living them as well.

No.....not his whole career. Had some off the field issues where he made some bad choices while marriage.

Shaq was kind of a douche back in....2004? Maybe? When they were deep in the playoffs vs the Kings, and he kept referring to them as the Sacramento Queens, and thought it was hilarious.
