Sports Illustrated unveiled who players think the league's dirtiest player is. And it's not this guy:
Or this guy:
No, it was Clippers forward Reggie Evans, who achieved brief Internet fame yesterday for this egregious flop, who topped the poll.
Evans, 31, has more fouls (117) than points (102) this year. He's averaging 1.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game, and has come off the bench in each of his 55 games for L.A.
Kevin Garnett and Metta World Peace rounded out the top three.
Andrew Bynum wasn't in the top 15.
A few trends from the top 15:
- Three teams had multiple representatives in the top 15; the Celtics (Kevin Garnett and Ryan Hollins), Bobcats (Gerald Henderson and Eduardo Najera) and Clippers (Evans and Chris Paul).
- Three potential first-team All NBAers were on the list; Paul (No. 5), Kevin Love (No. 7) and Dwight Howard (No. 12).
- Six players who predominantly come off the bench were in the top 15; Evans, Jeff Foster (No. 4), Najera (No. 10), Hollins (No. 11), Shane Battier (No. 13) and Jamaal Magloire (No. 14).
- All but four players are at least 6-8. The exceptions are World Peace (6-6), Paul (6-0), Henderson (6-5) and Raja Bell (6-5).
