Crazy guys

The 2011 World Champion Dallas Mavericks were an incredulous combination of players, personalities, and mentalities.

DeSean Stevenson was their token crazy guy. Without his stellar perimeter defense, his efficient outside shot, and his Abraham Lincoln neck tattoo the Mavs didn't stand a chance in 2011.

Still don't believe me? Do you remember watching Ron Artest take over game seven of the 2010 finals?

What's that? You don't know anyone named Ron Artest?

Oh yeah, he's the guy that changed his name to Metta World Peace. And yes, he also happens to be the same guy that started the "Palace Brawl" between typical Pistons fans and idiotic Pacer players. Hmm...

Anyways, Ron Artest was crucial to the Los Angeles Lakers last title run. He was a defensive force, a rebounding machine, and most importantly, a complete moron. With one minute and two seconds remaining in regulation of a tied-up game seven, Artest squared up and drilled a three-point shot right over Ray Allen's outstretched hand.

Everyone knew the ball would end up in Kobe's hands. It didn't matter that he was struggling the whole night. A player like Kobe has earned the right to take each and every important shot for the rest of his career. Everyone in the building knew that...except Artest.

Artest's magic didn't end there. Among the first things he said at the end of the game was, "I'd like to thank my doctor - my psychiatrist. She really helped me relax a lot...and she helped me hit that last shot."

Okay, so that's two crazy guys with one ring each. The craziest NBA player of all time, has 5.

You should already know who this is before having to read it.

Dennis Rodman - the absolute craziest counterpart to the absolute greatest player the game has ever seen. Rodman's resume is far more impressive  than the previous two crazies.

• 5 NBA Championships with the Chicago Bulls (1989-1990, 1996-1998) 
• 7 time rebounding champion (1992-1998)
• 2 time defensive player of the year (1990-1991)
• Member of the Hall of Fame

Need I say more?

Yes, but not about his playing.

Dennis was quite the menace, provoking just as much camera time off the court as he did on the court. His atrocious cross-dressing, hair dying, body piercing, tattoo sporting lifestyle became a national water-cooler discussion topic.

To be honest, I am not sure he ever finished an entire game without taking his shirt off on the court, initiating a fight with the other team, or kicking a cameraman.

Ok, the cameraman thing only happened once. But come on Dennis! Really? Kicking the cameraman?

Three token crazy guys. 

Each shared the court with a different NBA legend.

Together, they achieved greatness.
