The Famous Five!

An argument can be made pertaining to the fact that a couple of the athletes on this list have conducted themselves in an inappropriate manner. But the remainder of them, are on the list simply due to the fact they are exceptional at their job.

NBA protagonists such as Trae Young and Jimmy Butler have obliterated and decimated the best players of the teams they have faced in the playoffs. They have consistently performed when the stakes are at their highest.

So far, they haven’t crumbled under pressure, and have delivered when their franchise requires them to.

Bam Adebayo and Marcus Smart are integral pieces and anchors of their franchises. They are the epitome of the basketball culture that is ubiquitous in the city they play.

Draymond Green’s inclusion!

Hate should not be a persistent aspect of any sport. However, the only individual on this list whose inclusion is validated would be Draymond Green.

His aggression and recklessness have been on display multiple times over the past decade. Not only that, there have been multiple occasions where it has been encouraged. His recent altercation with Jordan Poole last week is an indication of his behavior, that warrants negative comments.

The list must be looked into as it involves spiteful and diminishing tweets aimed at professional athletes. There need to be some reforms in place to minimize these actions!
