Most hated players that played for your team

[The Batman]

Melo's still here. Who are yours?

[da_suns_fan]

That you hated or fans of other teams hated?

I hated: Matt Barnes, Shannon Brown, Danny Schayes

Others hated: Raja Bell. Amare Stoudemire.

[The Batman]

Yea I meant ones that you hated.

[Lincoln]

Haywood, Antoine wright, Deavean George, Lamar odom

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Barbosa and Diaw.

Barbosa because he was stupid as shit, choked when it mattered, and for whatever reason got credit for a strong work ethic when he didn't add anything to his game while he was here.

Diaw because he was lazy as shit and would have made the 2007 Suns unstoppable if he actually tried hard.


I hated Marion the last season but he for the most part did all you could expect from him in his situation. I've gotten sick and tired of Nashketball but I don't hold it personally against Nash but moreso fans who'd rather watch Nash for another 2 years than start rebuilding now.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I also hate A LOT of current day Suns players (Warrick, Childress, Frye, Brown, Robin Lopez, etc.).

[tesseractive]

Dennis Fucking Rodman.

Vinny Del Negro. Lazy fuck.

Our succession of shitty post-Robinson post players lining up next to Duncan, not counting Horry.

[djohn2oo8]

No particular order

Pippen
Kelvin Cato
Bryce Drew
Brad Miller
Kevin Martin
Aaron Brooks
Terrance Williams
Stromile Swift
Trevor Ariza
Yao

[JoeTait75]

I have a feeling in two or three years I'm going to strongly dislike Tristan Thompson if he's still here because a.) he's still going to suck and b.) Cavaliers fans are still going to pretend that he's eventually going to not suck.

Others: Larry Hughes, Bob Sura (I wanted Michael Finley in the '95 draft and they took this tool instead), Jiri Welsch, Omri Casspi.

EDIT: Not a real big Mo Williams fan, either.

Not hated as individuals, but hated to see them get minutes based on irrational respect from the coach.

Dislike is a better word. You cant hate someone you haven't even met.

From the Spurs I dislike Blair a ton and dont really care for Bonner whatsoever.

Lakers- Bynum, Blake, Ebanks

Mavs- Marion, Delonte

Knicks- Smith, Bibby, Jeffries

Hawks- ALL OF THEM!


That's about all that I can think of at the moment.

[da_suns_fan]

I'd take Barbosa, Diaw and Marion back in a second. Much better than the likes of Childress, Warrick, Shannon Brown etc.

Only after spending his entire career as the only superstar on teams. He was well into his 30s when he went to the Rockets. Still a good player, but closer to the Celtics trio than the Heat's. It's one thing to sort of combine deteriorating skills late in a career. It's something entirely weaker to join forces as 26-28 year-olds in your primes to manufacture a potential dynasty.

Barkley tried to do it on his own for over 10 years and didn't request a trade to a contender until after several back surgeries. Just not even close to the same.

[JMarkJohns]

As for the question... Ainge. Hate that weaselly little punk.

Then transplants like Horry or Ellie who killed the Suns as Rockets.

When did Barkley have back surgery?

Answer: After his career was over.

When did Barkley demand a trade?

Answer: Summer 1996.


Likewise, if Barkley was doing it "on his own" when he came to the Suns as a 29 year old, then Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle, Danny Ainge, Tom Chambers, Cedric Ceballos and later AC Green and Danny Manning are truly underrated.

Back rehab, then... fact of the matter is, Barkley was hobbled for years prior to demanding the trade.

As for the team, they may all indeed be underrated, but KJ with Barkley was a thrice-operated PG, not the 22-11 force pre 1992, Chambers was in decline and only on the 1992-93 team, and Majerle was shown to be a quality, but unspectacular player in Cleveland and Miami. Ceballos could score, and did whenever he wasn't injured, but he was injured a lot, and was then traded to LA. Manning was solid, but oft-injured and was in decline as well, and AC Green and Ainge were nothing but role players at best.

Nobody wins the Title by themselves (save for maybe Hakeem in 1994), but the point is that Barkley had only a few select random All-Stars, several in decline former All-Stars, but no dominant All-Stars or other Superstar, not even in the same way that Payton had Kemp, Malone had Stockton, Jordan had Pippen, etc.

So, after trying to be the man on some mediocre to talented teams but do so without the aid of a true dominant #2 for roughly 12 years, an aging and now often injured Barkley requested a trade to a previous champion that still had a shot at a ring with his addition.

It's not anywhere close to a 26-YO, in-prime MVP joining forces with two other in-prime All-Stars in a manufactured venture to win a decade's worth of Titles outside of the circumstantial aspects of a regular 10-12-year prime career.

2008-2010 Michael Finley, Matt Bonner, and Richard Jefferson are obvious choices. But I hated all of them.

If Richard Dumas wasn't such a fuck-up those mid-90s Suns would have been ridiculously stacked. Damn I wanted to see them ring.

[timtonymanu]

Forgot about Steve Smith.

I wasn't around during the Rodman/Del Negro era but I know they are another popular choice.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

If Richard Dumas wasn't such a fuck-up those mid-90s Suns would have been ridiculously stacked. Damn I wanted to see them ring.
KJ never being the same after Duckworth fucked up his hamstring in the playoffs was also a factor too. The Suns were also running a train on the league in 95 before Danny Manning's injury.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I'd take Barbosa, Diaw and Marion back in a second. Much better than the likes of Childress, Warrick, Shannon Brown etc.
I probably wouldn't hate any of them if they weren't so overpaid, and the common denominator with the overpaid role players is Sarver ironically enough. Barbosa and Diaw got their stupid contracts because Sarver didn't want to replace Colangelo so he had the coach play GM, while Warrick and Childress got their stupid contracts because Sarver didn't want to pay Kerr so he hired an agent to play GM.

His dumbass is too stupid to realize that Childress's abortion of a contract alone that was given out because he hired Childress's agent as the GM is more of a drain on his wallet than the qualified GM he refuses to hire. As much as Sarver has the reputation of cheap, his stupidity has been a much bigger issue for the Suns than his cheapness.

Were just not going to agree.

KJ made all star team in 94 and Majerle started for west all star team in 95. Neither were as good as a Wade or a Pippen but Barkley had all the talent in the world around him compared to what Lebron had in Cleveland.

[da_suns_fan]

KJ had multiple 40 point games against the Rockets in 95:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199505140HOU.html

KJ brought his "A" game. Charles did not.

[baseline bum]

I can't understand the Rocket fans hating on Pippen. I mean, what did you expect him to produce when he was given a Mario Charlmers kind of role to shoot desperation threes at the shot clock buzzer when the Barkley/Olajuwon hero-ball isos broke down?

I know a cop who worked security for the team at the time and he said Barkley really started to get out of hand once they took a 3-1 lead, so idk about that one. I know Majerle did plenty of drinking with him too after they took the 3-1 lead.

You seem to think I'm saying Barkley had zero talent. I'm not. I never did.

The fact that a 33-YO, 12-year veteran Barkley once requested a trade to a contender doesn't undercut his criticism of a 26-YO, in-prime MVP LeBron for joining two other in-prime All-Stars in Miami to manufacture an in-prime dynasty independent of standard/typical NBA circumstances.

Barkley was getting old, was often injured (missed 44 games previous three seasons in Phoenix and over half with Houston), and saw his window basically closed as the MVP leading a team to a Title. He coattailed and failed.

What LeBron did is not anything similar.

[Killakobe81]

Rodman and Karl Malone hands down. Both were OK on my Lakers team, especially Malone. But I hated those guys so much especially the post MAdonna, Bulls flopper version of Rodnman. I didnt mind Rodman in Detroit.

Rasho- Boring player that was a desperation free agent pickup after the Spurs talked about the big free agent acquisition they would make that summer and struck out on Kidd, which was a bad move in the first place, should have gone after Webber hard that year as the first choice.

Rodman was a clown: wearing woman's wedding dress photos

Steve Smith: The spurs talked him up like he was going to be a big star.

Bowen: Ugly basketball watching him play. A big reason why the Spurs are considered Boring through the years. Bowen would not have amounted to much on any other team other than a backup role player, on the Spurs he is hanging in the rafters.

Granted they very well could have 5-peated if they signed O'Neal after their 2003 title.

I don't think O'Neal would have been a good fit, being a so-so rebounder and an inefficient volume scorer (though he was a pretty decent shotblocker). Plus the Spurs would have probably had to salary dump one of Parker and Ginobili to pay that contract, and no way I would take O'Neal at $15-$23 million per year over one of those two.
