Why he might be annoying:

    Despite his talent, he was overshadowed by his teammates (Michael Jordan at UNC, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with the Lakers).
    He, along with Abdul-Jabbar and Kurt Rambis, wore goggles while playing, which gave a goofy look to the 1980s era Lakers.
    Like everyone who played in the NBA in the 1980s, he wore short shorts.
    He skipped his senior year of college.
    He appeared on an episode of 'Arli$$.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had an incredibly accurate shot, shooting at least 53 percent from the floor in his first eight NBA seasons.
    His reputation for being clutch during the playoffs gave him the nickname 'Big Game James.'
    He was known for finishing fast breaks with his trademark one-handed swooping dunks.
    He, along with Jordan and Sam Perkins, led North Carolina to the 1982 NCAA title.
    He won three NBA titles with the Lakers.
    He was selected one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players (1996).
    He made a guest appearance in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation,' playing a Klingon.
    He was definitely a 'worthy' basketball player.
