I'm surprised no one has mentioned Tim Duncan yet, because I think he's the best role model in the NBA. He's faced quite a bit of adversity in his life (he was going to be a very good swimmer, but a hurricane blew his school pool down) but he's persisted and quietly become the greatest power forward to ever play the game. He never gets into fights and he rarely gets blown for technicals or gets ejected. He's humble, grateful and is a team player. He doesn't complain to the media or b*itch on Twitter. He doesn't yell at his coaches or teammates. He's amazingly consistent and just a tremendous All-around player. He's a top 10 player of All-time but he has very little ego. He's the best role model there is. I would put Ray Allen second. He's a family man, truly loves the game and is a respectful and humble player.

Missouri has a good arena, tradition and fan support. Miami's in a good talent area but is badly overshadowed by the Heat. No one cares about Cane roundball. This is a good move by Haith who only had 2 years left on his conrract and might have been fired after next season anyway.

Not necessarily. Joe's big love seems to be cars. Outside of that I've not heard of outlandish behavior and entourages. To be honest 250K worth of vehicle isn't absurd when someone's made 90M and is expecting another 110M in guaranteed salary (200+M for 13 or 14 years total in his career). I see plenty of 50K cars on the road and I doubt those people are making 40M over the same time 14 year period. Unless he has vices that aren't public knowledge or he's unable to say no to any pricey car then I think he could be okay.
