Definitely Kobe. I can't just hear all of the "rapist...rapist...rapist..." chants. Plus, hes a pompous arrogant ass.
Kobe, Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Rip Hamilton
No one will ever be more unliked by a fanbase than Karl Malone was by the Spurs (tho Eli Manning to Chargers fans would be a close 2nd).
I think the only other players I hear Spurs fans boo on a regular basis are Vince Carter and his brother Kenyon Martin.
Karl Malone (no explanation needed)
Shaq (for his ever present disrespect of SA and The Admiral)
Ray Allen (for his crybaby antics)
Vince Carter (ditto)
Derek Fisher (cool man off the court, but it's hard to forget 0.4)
Amare Stoudemire (completely disrespectful off and on the court; the push-ups incident, his 'Spurs are dirty' whine, etc...)
Dirk Nowitzki (can't stand his rock&roll 'tongue out' celebration)
Raja Bell (Along with Anderson Varejao they are the biggest floppers in the league)
Well, God knows how much i love manu but he is a flopper too... sometimes...
Manu tuned it down a notch... besides, Manu is fearless and isn't afraid to take real contact. Raja just dishes it, but can't handle it himself.
i agree
Hall of Fame: Malone
#1 Ray Allen (just picturing his gay face of disgust after EVERY SINGLE defensive play from Bowen)
#2 Amare (IQ of 34 + thug sense of en lement + a big mouth = Amare)
#3 Stackhouse (dirty)
#4 Terry (dirty nut puncher)
others: Vince Carter, Kobe, Carmello...
Malone (all-time most hated)
Shaq was for me the most hated player still playing, but he's not so bad now.
I haven't decided who takes his place as the most hated player still playing.
The problem for me is that I can't hate a lot of the good players (Nash, Stodemire, Kobe, etc.) because I like their games too much. It was easy for me to hate on Malone and Shaq because IMO their games were not pleasing to the eye.
Shaq because of his over blown ego. I don't care how great his game may be, have a little modesty.
Any player that whines continuosly. I can take the occasional moan but don't like anyone that uses it as a mode of operation. Let your game speak for you.

Karl Malone wasnt that bad. He had sharp elbows, and he knew it too. He was dirty but if back then, the Spurs could acquire him in exchange for Cadillac Anderson, Charles Smith and Vinnie Del Negro (sorry,Vin) I'd like him to be a good partner to DRobinson in the frontcourt.
He was like the physical, nasty uncle who you'd play pick up ball with as a young guy. He'd give a couple of "soft-ish" cheap shots at you when youre guarding him. But when youre teammates, you know your big,bad uncle got your back.
Tie between Kobe and Shaq. Malone would be higher, but Kobe and Shaq have earned my hate both as a Pacers' fan and as a Spurs' fan. Personality-wise Kobe and Shaq aren't as different as people think, by the way. Shaq's buddies in Florida law enforcement have bailed him out on at least one occasion for a sexual harrasment/intimidation charge.*
*If anyone cares, I will find the le of the book that tracks the case. It is a study of NBA players and the criminal justice system that came out a few years ago.
My votes are pretty much in line with Oh Gee. All time has gotta be Malone. The only difference I have is that I'd rank Ray Allen as tied with Shaq for my disdain.
I dislike Shaq on a less personal basis. There was a lot of wasted potential there and I think that if he were called for half of the offensive fouls and travels he actually commits he'd average about 4 minutes per game.
Ray Allen is more of a Spurs specific pick. He's a whiny little who went out of his way to trash Bruce Bowen. I hope he busts in Boston and they boo his sorry ass straight out of New England.
EDIT: Reggie, I might be interested in the le. I need to start wasting less time on the internet at work.
The hated HOF for me is:
1) Karl Malone
2) Karl Malone
3) Shaquille O'Neal (I realize Shaq is still active, but he was at his most obnoxious when he was still one of the top three, top five players. I don't care now)
4) Karl Malone
Present day
1) Kobe - brilliant player, and for that I will always give him his due. But he's a grade-A, 100%, bona-fide horse's ass. No one in basketball is more divisive, more of an egomaniac, more of a drama queen
2) Amare - works his ass off and is a great athlete. He is also stupider than a box of engine parts. Personally, I can't wait to watch when Nash is gone and Amare suddenly has to get all of these shots at the rim by himself.
ray allen and kobe bryant.
