Your most hated NBA player(s), and why.

[cruzg24]

Bruce Bowen above anyone else, he is the dirtiest player I have ever seen. And then people called him "hard nosed", not that shit is cheap and gay. He stuck out his foot so many times to try to get someone injured. The worst one was when he stuck his leg out against Amare and couldve seriously injured him. Or my favorite one against Chris Paul:

There's no denying Bowen is a shit starter. But that's what fueled the rivalry between him and CP. Did that warrant getting punched in the nut sack? There was hardly any contact there, and CP always did a good job flopping around.

But yeah, Bruce is dirty. I don't deny that really. But at least he didn't pull any 3rd grade girl moves.

I agree, I just always hated Bruce every time I saw him he was always on highlights for the wrong reasons. KG is another that comes to mind he has become a real douchebag since he joined a winning team.

When he said they weren't loyal?

That and taking a second meeting with the Bulls just to distract them from doing other things in free agency. He knew he wasn't leaving Miami.

I disagree, TP isn't a flopper. Dunno how anyone would have that assumption. However Manu is an awesome flopper. I love the dude but damn, he flops so much when he actually DOES get hacked or fouled he doesn't get the call cause refs are so used to him.

King Floppers:
1. Wade
2. Manu
3. AK47
4. Sasha Vaginaitch
5. ?
6. ?
7. ?

I would add Fisher to that list.

Agreed.

King Floppers: in no order

4. Sasha Vaginaitch
5. Chris Paul
6. Anderson Verjajeoeojjdjkeldojfldk
7. Derek Fisher

I didn't say TP flopped. I said he goes into the lane and falls over every time as she shoots, drawing a foul. He's a bitch, just like Manu. I love a lot of Spurs players like Duncan and Blair, but I cannot stand Parker and Ginobili. They get more calls than anybody in the NBA.

 

[Lake Louise]

Kevin Garnett - Really liked him when it was on the T-Wolves. Since the Celtics won, he's shown his true douche self.

Anderson Vareflop - Flopping every chance he can.

Sasha Vujabitch - For this guy to ever think he's accomplished anything is beyond me. He's just a supporting role guy. Fortunate enough to be on a winning team. Now he's not there anymore, and you hear even less about him. Whenever i'd see him make a shot, He'd walk around like he is actually worth something to the team, and he'd whine constantly about not getting calls. I just despise him.

Joakim Noah - I don't care for him either. Haven't liked him, even when he was at Florida. I really can't explain why. I just can't stand him.

I'd say that's about it.

My god, Dwight is awful from the charity stripe

Dude needs to shoot free throws all off-sesaon, work on nothing else

 

[Brutalis]

Imagine how many points he would average if he just shot 75% from the line. Crazy.

I forgot where I saw it but Shaq gave up a few thousand points being so terrible from the line.

Kobe doesn't have a twitter... there's @kbtwofour but he doesn't touch that thing at all, it's run by other people. Kobe doesn't do the online social network thing.

Anyway, I don't hate anyone. Either like a player or I'm indifferent to them. Citing a player for what he does on the court as a basketball player, fine. You guys acting like you actually know these players personally, the ins and outs of who they are, who are you guys trying to play?

This is something I find so funny about the sports world in general. Some of you guys just look at and take things a little too personally.

+1...

Get a life..."Ole I hate kobe cuz he has a mean face on ass dudes"

Fuck yall Kobe is one of the greats and its a pleasure to watch him.

 

[lonesomefx]

Still don't hate KG 100% yet, but he's getting ridiculous. I watched Celtics-Suns last night and he nut checked Channing Frye and then put his foot where Frye was gonna land, all whiles Frye shot a 3. After some Techs to Garnett, Frye, Nate Rob and Pierce, the refs reviewed everything and KG argued his 2 tech ejection. Mind you they watched him do everything via replay.

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Dwyane Wade. It seems he gets more the "superstar" calls than any other player. Plus, he's always making so much drama around his injuries it just pisses me off.

Don't forget falling all over the place.

Just because you hate someone doesn't mean its not a pleasure to watch him. I hate him, does that mean I don't like to watch him play? No. There's a difference between disrespecting him and and hating him.

 

[The Young One]

You've never met the guy..but all I see in this thread is people talking about athletes like they know them. Yall dont...

Be a fan and enjoy the game...but haters gonna hate regardless..

Thank You Bean

 

[nashty13]

Manu-Is there really an explanation needed? He is in my opinion the dirtiest player in the league. He slaps people instead of the ball, steps on feet, and will bowl anyone over given the chance and whine about a call. I hate the spurs because I am a suns fan but I hate manu because of his play.

That is really it for good explenations. I hate dirk because i think he is over-rated, I hate kobe because he is a laker, and I hate duncan because he is a spur.

but for personal reasons....

I hate Lou Amundson. He is a terrible player with no skill and doesn't deserve to be in the nba. He took valuable minutes away from players and stunted the growth of potential starters(earl clark). He is a liability on a team and shouldn't be in the league. The reason they describe people as hustle guys is because there isn't a skill worth mentioning that these guys have.

Hating and disrespecting are two different things. And yes, you can hate someone w/o knowing them. It's called prejudice.

Agreed 100%. I never said Kobe sucks by any means, he's obviously one of the greatest of all time, I just think he's an narcissistic asshole.
