The always lively NBA Twitter sphere is abuzz with debates over who holds the title of the "worst player" in the league today. With names like Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Killian Hayes surfacing in the discussion, fans are divided over their opinions.

In a recent post on X, the page "LakeShowYo" posed the question to its followers, asking who they believed to be the worst player in the NBA right now. Among Lakers fans, opinions seemed split between Taurean Prince and Jaxson Hayes, both currently representing the purple and gold.

However, the online consensus quickly pointed to Thanasis Antetokounmpo as a prime candidate for the dubious title. The Milwaukee Bucks player has become a target of jokes and criticism online, with many attributing his presence in the league to nepotism, given his brother Giannis Antetokounmpo's superstar status.

"Has to be Thanasis," remarked one fan, echoing the sentiments of many.

Yet, amidst the chatter, Killian Hayes of the Detroit Pistons also found himself in the spotlight as a contender for the title of worst player in the NBA.

"The one, the only, Killian Hayes," quipped another fan.

While both Antetokounmpo and Hayes have faced their fair share of criticism, it's important to acknowledge their achievements. Antetokounmpo boasts five seasons of NBA experience, while Hayes is currently in his fourth year and has held a starting role for much of his young career.

Despite the online backlash, Antetokounmpo remains unfazed by the noise. In an interview with Donatas Urbonas of Basket News, he emphasized that only the truth holds power over him, shrugging off accusations of nepotism and emphasizing his humble beginnings as the son of immigrants.

"Everybody has their opinion, but the only time it hurts you is when it's true," Antetokounmpo remarked. "If it's true, it hurts you, but at the same time, if you know my journey... I didn't have what to eat."

Reportedly pursued by the New York Knicks in the offseason, Antetokounmpo ultimately re-signed with the Bucks, continuing his NBA journey that began in New York during the 2015-16 season before a stint in Europe and a return to the Bucks in 2019.

As the debate rages on in NBA circles, one thing remains clear: while opinions may differ, the resilience and determination of players like Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Killian Hayes serve as a testament to their dedication to the game they love.
