IMO its Draymond Green by a landslide. Lot of NBA Fans are casuals, so they see him put up Triple Single stat line, shoots like he has a backpack on, so its easy to make fun of him and dismiss his value. He got suspended and cost his team in the Finals, stomps people, punches his own teammate, “calls KD in the parking lot after losing in the Finals”
BUT NBA purist know he’s a TOP 5 defender of all time. Team leader on defense when it comes to communication, best help defender, can guard perimeter, undersize but still bodies Centers in the paint (check 2022 playoffs vs Jokic, when he held his own and picked his pocket in the post in crunch time)
He is the best villain because he does enough to get you to hate him and despite his glaring flaws (on and off the court), he still comes out on top with the BIGGEST FLEX of them ALL ( 4 NBA CHAMPIONSHIPS ) FUTURE HOFer, DPOY
I’d put Dillon Brooks in 2nd place for current villains, but he needs to actually win more for people to respect him as a legit “villain”

Easily Adam Silver
You, for saying that draymond is a top5 defensive player of all time 🤡
Definitely an argument for him to be made. He’s been the best defender in the nba for like 10ish years, while anchoring the defense of a 4 championship winning dynasty. Only clown is you
Is anyone else really even in the conversation?
I liked Lebron wayyy more as a heel. He felt more likable in that era. His PR personality feels off to me. Like he feels like the basketball version of Drake.
Villainy is embraced by Dillion 😈
I always loved Lance’s villainy because of the wacky factor.
Even if we’re talking about basketball the best heel is still Christian Cage. Just don’t let him find out about your dad.
If you know you know
Christian Cage vs Kevin Porter Jr in a steel cage match.
Ruby Gobert
He just made one hell of a face turn though.
Kyrie. He infiltrates teams then destroys them from within.
javarin critterous
When you have to convince yourself your player is a “heel” and not a parasite who has ruined the future of your franchise multiple times
Satnam Singh is technically the only active heel iirc
What about that guy for the hornets that abuses women?
Not sure if he’s top 5 all time, but people highly undervalue his defense. Go watch Thinking Basketball’s analysis on him and you’ll realize how valuable he’s been to the Warriors dynasty. I’d even go as far to say that Steph and Dray were more likely to win than KD and Steph, and I’m pretty sure the numbers back that.
Dillon was only a villain because he played in Memphis. Nobody spoke his name before the Warriors series and ESPN went on a Memphis Pistons kick.
Dilly in Houston is a musketeer
