Kevin McHale was jokingly referred to by his teammates as ‘The Black Hole’ because once you gave the ball to him in the post, you were never going to see it again. None of them were too upset about it, however, since McHale was one of the most efficient post scorers in NBA history.
My question is this: who are some players whose ‘black hole’ playstyle was a bad thing? Which guys were infamous for never giving the ball up, even when they really should have?
Some players notorious for their black hole playstyle, where they rarely passed the ball and it often hurt their teams, include Carmelo Anthony and Antoine Walker. Their tendency to dominate the ball without efficient scoring or playmaking sometimes led to inefficient offenses and frustrated teammates.
