The NBA is full of serious players who want to play the game, and there’s nothing wrong with that, then there are trolls who want to entertain everyone. Let’s reminisce on the best trolls this past season

The NBA is full of different players. Some take their job seriously and others just like to have some fun. This is where the era of the “troll” comes in. A loose definition of a troll isn’t a popular doll that kids play with, but rather is a person who likes to mess with everything.

Take Lance Stephenson for example. He knows the in’s and out’s of getting into people’s heads and making them go crazy. Trolls are on the court for one purpose and one purpose only, to provide endless entertainment and memes.

Back in the 2012 playoffs, Lance Stephenson and the Indiana Pacers were playing against LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals. Not only did Stephenson get to guard LeBron for a possession, but he made the most out of his opportunity.

Stephenson will go down as one of the greatest trolls of all time.

Here’s a (sorta) comprehensive look at the best trolls during the 2016-17 NBA season.
