Can you name any player(s) that have been said to have been locker room cancers in league history?
One person who comes to mind is Brandy Reed.
Conversely, can you name any player(s) who have the best reputation as to being the glue to hold their team(s) together in league history?
Staley, Bird, Perrot, McWilliams-Franklin and Catch comes to mind when thinking of the best reputations.

If you want to include coaches, perhaps Nancy Lieberman might be an early example?

Yeah. I can't think of anyone who she annoyed more than CamrnCrz1974.

You could potentially include Sophia Young or Candice Wiggins depending on how well known their views were regarding LGBTQ Issues when they played.

Wiggins and Lennox come to mind.
For the positive end: Avery Warley, Simone Edwards and Ashley Robinson's careers were likely extended due to the strong reputations.

If you believe the allegations, she's the worst teammate ever

There was a point and time that seems forgotten by most where a lady named Lori Ann sat front row center in the crowd while her team played without her just to get a certain coach fired.

Forgot her on my post (late night) but not in real life I still chant LOOOORRRRRIIIII ANNNNNNEEEEE every ft over that bs...agree Angel is a very ironic name and a hemmroid
Ditto cappie pondexter tho in that example I was showing restraint as there is a history with fans that may not be true in the back...that said...God's will...I'll rather be at fashion week lol
NEVER heard that bout whitmore...she's a jerk...yes but never heard anything about her and sex assault that's a serious allegation got links?

I was wondering when LoriAnngel would come up. I think one could make the argument she got 2 coaches fired. Sitting out during Cooper's last season certainly resulted in a poor record which got Cooper axed. It just took longer with Cooper than it did with MM. Angel and Cooper did not get along that well - he benched from time to time. There was a rumor going around that Dallas wanted to trade for Angel which may have precipitated her sitting out. The rumors seemed to have originated in Dallas but could be Cooper was interested enough to listen, until Angel pulled to the plug. To your comment about watching the game while instead of playing - she was there watching during Cooper's last season as well.
The good news is that so far at least, there hasn't been any obvious Collen/Angel drama.

Brandy Reed played in Phoenix and I don't recall her being a problem in the locker room or with her teammates. Her problem was drugs and most addicts I know are a bit selfish (don't want to create a "label" - addicts I know tend to be selfish when feeding the addiction but are less so when not under the influence) and that could have been true with Brandy. She was wonderful with the fans.

Some votes for Bentley. Why - just because she got into a fight with a teammate?

The teammate she fought with, who left the team for personal reasons afterward, has no mentions

I also remember her freezing out Maggie Lucas in college until they went off to Team USA trials together and came back BFFs. But before that, it was pretty obvious that Alex was refusing to pass the ball to Lucas.

Angel is rough on coaches, but that doesn't make her a bad teammate. Her teammates seem to like her.
Actually, so does Marynell Meadors. She's come to some games the last few years, She and Angel always hug and talk is a very friendly manner before tip off.

For type 2 I would guess la Leslie always came off as arrogant and pompous to me |
She comes across that way in public, but her teammates have never failed to say glowing things about her.
Diana Taurasi is apparently polarizing. Some teammates love her, others forced their way out of Phoenix to get away from her.

Cynthia Cooper might disagree.
