Kevin Garnett. Something about that guy just bothers me. His attitude, his trash talking and talking down on younger players, just everything about him. Comes off as a thug.

Honestly, no matter who he's playing, I just want to see that guy lose.

Some others I don't like: Lebron, "Metta World Peace", and Pau Gasol.

On the other hand, some players I enjoy watching, and come off as genuinely cool people: Dwight Howard, Kevin Durant, and now Jeremy Lin.

Jason Terry, Anderson Varejao, and anything that crawls in Utah

I echo DC's sentiments and will add a former player but still massive ******bag....


Karl Malone. I hate that ****ing guy.

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Wouldn't have been able to contribute to this thread prior to last season's playoffs. Andrew Bynum is a piece of ****, and I'm not even a Mavs fan.

Matt Barnes is my number one all time most hated player. I hate him sooooooo much it's unbelievable. I both hate him and have no respect for him.

There are some players I hate because they are actually really good and I don't like their team and I hate how they kill my team. Often this is combined with the fact that people with no rooting interest for the team become fans of theirs. This list includes/has included Duncan, Ginobili, Jordan, Magic, and Webber. I grudgingly have respect for them.

Speaking of webber I really hated just about everyone on those Kings teams. Really hated Bibby, Vlade, Bobby Jackson, and even Peja. It was really weird when Peja joined the Mavs last year, but enough time had passed and I grudgingly came to accept him.

Oh yeh how did I forget Bynum. Oh and Bruce Bowen. Jerkasses.

Dirk, Steve Nash, and Kobe are in this category for me.

Though I don't necessarily respect Kobe much as a person, considering he's a rapist.

Justin Lin

Is there a famous Justin Lin? I've seen this mistake made more than a few times.

Flat out don't like: David Lee, K-Mart, David West, Andrew Bynum, CP3

No reason to like them but I do: Monta Ellis, Eric Gordon, Corey Brewer, Rudy Fernandez, Kevin Love even though he's kind of a tool.

Thanks. No idea where Justin came from.

Oh, he's the director of the fast and furious movies. I guess that's why I had that name in my head.

Yeah I feel the same about Kobe. Immense respect for what he does on the basketball court, but I think he's a deplorable human being.

KG
Wade
Quinten(sp) Richardson
Baron Davis
David West

Wherever Doug Christie is, I still hate him

JET, Fish, KG, Perk, CP3.

You guys have definitely hit most of the usual suspects as far as I am concerned:

1) KG - total thug-like dewsh-canoe

2) Jason Terry - the idiotic "jet" routine is beyond gay and really old

3) K-Mart - There is just something about having lips tattoed on your neck that screams trashy ass-hat...

4) I would like to submit the rest of the roughly 2006-2008 Nuggets (thuggets) to this discussion. Iverson, Melo, K-Mart, Birdman, Camby, JR Smith, etc - easily one of the "thuggiest" and least likable teams in NBA history, IMO.

Is it just me or did he get that thing covered up by a crown or something?

I grow weary of the floppers like Kevin Martin, CP3, Manu, D-Wade, etc.

Garnett acts like a ***ch, and I grow weary of that as well.

sasha vujacic, j.r. smith, pau gasol, rajon rondo, zach randolph (and especially his retarded nickname, z-bo)

also, matt bonner.

What's wrong with matt bonner? He's one of the most easygoing guys on the spurs.

He did indeed. Only now it just looks like a big brown poo stain on his neck, at least from afar. I also can't stand him and Birdman and the rest of the Thuggets.

I hate matt bonner. I could easily say why do you hate jet, he is a mavs fan favorite.

I hate Matt Barnes the most.
Definitely used to hate doug christie and Bruce Bowen.
Hate JR Smith because he is an asshat.
I hate CP3 for how we he plays, that dude could be mvp of the league(talent wise) but he acts like a *****.
Dwayne Wade for taking part in the 2006 finals cheat job.
Melo for being a *****.
KG for his fake thug routine.
Stephen Jackson and Baron davis
Steve Kerr for coming out of his deathbed and draining 3's.

because he is a six foot ten defensive liability whos only redeeming quality is hitting some wide open triples because the other team is too busy laughing at what a goofy, no-talent ass clown he is.

quit calling him the red rocket. his red hair should be a reminder that he is a fire crotched genetic mistake.

Mehmet Okur, Carlos Boozer, Kevin Love, Bruce Bowen, Sasha Vuajic, Glen Davis,

Obi Wan, I should've been more clear in the OP. I meant players you don't like for their personalities, not for their playing abilities.

And for the record, Matt Bonner has come up big on more than one occasion, and often in big games.

Dwyane Wade
LeBron James
Chris Paul
Russell Westbrook
James Hardin
Kevin Love
Chris Anderson
Nick Collison
Kendrick Perkins

How long do you have? I'm full of hate for NBA players:

Randolph
Mayo
Pau Gasol
Barnes
Javale McGee
Lebron
Garnett
Maggette
Westbrook
Perkins
Turkoglu
Bargnani
Rondo
Boozer
Noah
World Peace
Verejao
Lebron again
Bosh

Too tired, I'll finish some other time, maybe add a Legacy section. Until then...

Terry

Is it just me or did he get that thing covered up by a crown or something?

He did get those lips covered up.

List:
LeBron
Fisher
Terry
Richard Jefferson
Karl Malone
John Stockton
Baron Davis and any other sacks of **** that quit on their team when they are pulling 8 figures a year.
Defensive Player of the Year Andrew Bynum
Kevin Garnett

quote:

---

Dwayne Wade for taking part in the 2006 finals cheat job.

---

Made me laugh.

Kobe, KG, Matt Barnes.

Based on all of these comments I'd say that Kevin Garnett is the most hated player. Wish someone would knock him the eff out.

quote:

---

Hate JR Smith because he is an asshat.

---

One of the few players where his being an asshat makes me like him. His basketball IQ is inversely related to his physical abilities. Always makes for an interesting player to watch. Throw Anthony Randolph in there too. He's like Kevin Garnett if Kevin Garnett was legally retarded.

CP3, Paul Pierce, and Dirk Nowitski.

Jason Terry

Baron Davis
Ron Artest
Matt Barnes
LeBron James
Manu Ginobili
Hedo Turkoglu
Luke Walton
Delonte West

Matt "Red Rocket" Bonner. Russell Westbrook.

Kobe, gasol, and dirk are my least favorites. I'm not a fan of whiners. But I definitely have tremendous respect for then since they are some of the best players in the league
