Why he might be annoying:

    He grew out his hair and beard, which gave him a caveman appearance.
    He was injured in a FIBA tournament semifinal, making him unable to play for Spain in the title game.
    With the Grizzlies, he lost his first 12 NBA playoff games.
    He dropped out of medical school after a year to pursue a pro basketball career.
    His first name sounds like a 'Batman' sound effect (POW!).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He helped the Grizzlies end their reputation as bottom dwellers.
    He was the first Spanish player (and first Memphis Grizzly) to be named an NBA All-Star.
    He led Spain to their first World Basketball Championship title.
    His younger brother, Marc, is a star player in Spain.
