You Don't Mess With The Z-Bo

If you mess with Zach Randolph he will tackle you. Just ask Blake Griffin. And that's just on the court.
Zach Randolph is the most intimidating player in the league, bar none. I bet if you took a poll from every player of who they wouldn't mess with Zach Randolph would be almost unanimously number one. Kevin Garnett? All-talk pussy. Kendrick Perkins? The up-and-coming all-talk pussy. Stephen Jackson, Ron Artest, and Ben Wallace would probably round out the top four, but Z-Bo takes the cake. Having grown up in a rough part of town, Randolph says he's been fighting his whole life, especially growing up. And you can tell he's not lying. The best part about Z-Bo is that he is the perfect foil to Blake Griffin. Griffin is a high flying superstar with monster dunks, appeals to his fans and is generally a well liked guy. Randolph, on the other hand, has an arsenal of post moves in which he can create his own shot, something Griffin can not do. Randolph sometimes doesn't connect with his fans though, like in New York. But they have similar scoring and rebound numbers, both of their respective teams are at atop the Western Conference, yet it's Griffin who was voted into the all-star game again by the fans; it's Griffin in all the funny commercials and seemingly uncountable endorsements. Randolph will be making a bit less than Griffin once his max contract kicks in so Z-Bo can't complain too much. Z-Bo has Griffin's number too, and that's the best part of it all.
