#3
LEGEND
Retired 1994
Isiah Thomas
Isiah Thomas was the smiling assassin who perfected dirty play with a choir boy face. He orchestrated the 'Jordan Rules' - literally scheming to hurt the greatest player ever. Then his Bad Boys Pistons walked off the court without shaking hands after losing to the Bulls, showing no class in defeat. He talked trash, played dirty, and somehow maintained this innocent persona that fooled everyone except his victims.
PG • 1980s
87.9

#4
LEGEND
Retired 2013
Rasheed Wallace
All-time leader in technical fouls. "Ball don't lie" became his catchphrase because he argued literally every call. A walking technical foul.
