I'm going with
Kevin Garnett
Kobe Bryant
Allen Iverson
Tim Duncan
Shaquille O'Neal
but for a more interesting 5 how about:
Jayson Williams:
In 1992, Williams was accused of smashing a beer mug over a patron's head at a Chicago bar. Two years later, he was accused of firing a semiautomatic weapon into the parking lot at the Meadowlands Sports Complex.
In 2004, he was tried on charges of gunning down 55 year old limousine driver Costas "Gus" Christofi at his estate in Alexandria Township, New Jersey. The Court process is still on-going.
Eddie Griffin:
On March 30, 2006, Griffin was involved in a car crash. Witnesses and friends stated that he was watching a pornographic movie on a DVD in his vehicle, and was masturbating while driving. After the accident, Griffin entered a nearby convenience store. The store's security camera recorded video of Griffin repeatedly saying he was drunk, that he didn't have a driver's license, and pleading with the man whose SUV he crashed into, offering to buy him a new car in exchange for not calling the police.
Eddie Griffin died as a result of a car crash on August 17, 2007 at about 1:30 a.m. Police said in a report that Griffin ignored a railroad warning and went through a barrier before colliding with a moving train.
Glen Rice:
On January 11, 2008, he was arrested in Miami on suspicion of felony battery after police say he assaulted a man that he found hiding in his estranged wife's closet. According to police, it was alleged that Rice went to the home of his estranged wife Christina and beat Alberto Perez after finding him in the closet. After the beating, Perez had a cut on his forehead that required nine stitches. Rice surrendered to police and was released after posting $5,000 bond. Charges were later dropped.
Latrell Sprewell:
December 1, 1997, he attacked head coach P. J. Carlesimo during a Warriors practice. When Carlesimo yelled at Sprewell he responded that he was not in the mood for criticism and told the coach to keep his distance. When Carlesimo approached, Sprewell threatened to kill him and dragged him to the ground by his throat, choking him for 10-15 seconds before his teammates pulled Sprewell off his coach.
The Wolves offered Sprewell a 3-year, $21 million contract extension, substantially less than what his then-current contract paid him. Insulted, he publicly vented his outrage, declaring, "I have a family to feed."
February 2008 Spree's yacht, "Milwaukee's Best," was auctioned for $865,000 after he defaulted on a $1.5 million mortgage. The same boat was a crimescene in an alleged strangulation of a 21 year old female who Spree was shagging at the time.
Shawn Kemp:
Kemp has been subjected to many paternity suits, having fathered thirteen out-of-wedlock children with nine different women. This number is alleged to be even higher but unconfirmed.
