10. Ryan Arcidiacono

Ryan Arcidiacono isn’t fun in the typical fun basketball player way. He’s not all that good (in relativity to great NBA players). He’s not that athletic. He’s not that big. He doesn’t have a bunch of cool dribble moves. But what he does have is an uncanny ability to work his tail off 100 percent of the time he’s on the court, and that’s incredibly fun to watch.

That’s a special play. There aren’t many guys in the NBA that will do a Superman dive into the crowd to save the ball on a random evening in March.

Despite a general lack of traditional NBA-style offensive skill, Arch still finds ways to score the ball when the Bulls need him to. He’s kind of like that old guy at the YMCA on Sunday afternoons that doesn’t look like he’ll score at all, but before you know it, he has 12 points and his team hasn’t lost all afternoon.

Check out this move:

Arch is just one of those guys that everyone loves to see on the court.

9. Nate Robinson

Who doesn’t love Nate Robinson? He’s a 3x NBA Slam Dunk Contest champ and he’s only 5-foot-9. That’s awesome. 

Nate’s stint with the Bulls was pretty short. He only played one season in Chicago, but it was a memorable one. He played all 82 games and averaged 13.1 points and 4.4 assists per game. He also delivered a ton of highlights.

Nate was one of those guys that always brought the energy. He made every moment more fun just by being on the court.
