most hated (or at least disliked) non spurs player?

[hater]

Amare isn't really stupid like you seem to think, he is just arrogant because of his childhood. He puts a shield up to protect himself since he couldn't depend on anyone else in his life and still can't. As to him getting shots after Nash retires, he did just fine when Marbury was the point guard. We all know Marbury is a shoot first point guard so that blows that theory of yours.

huh, no Amare is dumb as . that is a proven fact.

the funniest thing is when he gets called for a foul it takes him an abnormal amount of time to realize he's been called for a foul and to decide how bad of a reaction he must show the refs

[Brutalis]

IMHO most long time Spurs fans can easily tell you it's Malone.

Other than that, Shaq and KG always pushing DRob in the back cause he was so small yet same height.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

While there is no doubt that Starbury dominates the ball, he wasn't just a chucker in Phoenix. He averaged more than 8 assists per game in his three years there in a system that wasn't as up tempo as the current one.

Stoudemire is overrated, but it's unfair to hate him for what is the media's fault.

[Spurminator]

Eduardo Najera is an injury waiting to happen every time he sets foot on the court. I can't stand him.

[Reggie Miller]

There's a lot of hate on this thread for Reggie Miller. What's the deal? Why would a Spurs' fan hate Miller? It's not like he ever hurt the Spurs.

Seriously, I can see why someone would dislike Miller, but "most hated" seems a little over the top. Please enlighten me...

I enjoyed that immensely; it really made my day. If I had provided a top ten, Amare would have made it.

Amare is actually dumber than . At least my fecal material doesn't think it's a Black Jesus. (Not really sure about anyone else's. YMMV.)

[Spurminator]

Miller was my favorite non-Spur during his career.

[wildbill2u]

All the non-Spur players on these lists appear to be tied for the lead. There is one former Spur who left, went to the Nets, and came back angrier than . In one game, when George Karl was one of our starting guards, he went after Karl with both fists flying. (George Karl was the ABA's champion flopper back then.) We almost had a free-for-all in the old arena.

His name is Rich Jones.

I remember that free for all. Do you also remember Jones chasing a fat Baseline Bum from the floor up to the roof of the old Hemisfair Arena?

Good to see another old-timer whose compe ive fires haven't dimmed with the years. What about George McGinnis? He and Bill Keller of the old Indiana Pacers were constant thorns in the Spurs hides for many years.

With Keller it was just that he could beat you with those 3s raining down.

But McGinnis was a special case because he'd just take those 250 pounds and put his head down going for the basket. And most of the time it was George Karl who'd get in his way and take the charge--sometimes landing way out of bounds. Those Phoenix fans who think Nash got picked on by Horry simply haven't seen anybody really get knocked out of bounds like the old days.

[CarefreeAZ]

Had to respond to this -

My #1 = Jerry Stackhouse(Has a knack for comitting the super hard foul on break-away layups/dunks)

Least favorite coach = Phil Jackson - has been given way too much credit. I believe Popovich is a much better coach. The arrogance of Phil Jackson and Kobe is mutual. It sure has been nice watching them get put in their place with the one and done playoff exits.

Lastly, I have to agree with the poster that talked about Amare not registering it upstairs when he got called for a foul. I remember one game last year where he had blocked a shot and then went up again to block the shot and got called for the foul. It was his sixth and he was so jacked up/excited that Marion had to tell him he had fouled out.

[GSH]

1. Rodman (obvious reasons)
2. Jaren Jackson (got fat contract - retired to bench)
3. Will Perdue (gave clumsy people of the world a bad name)
4. Rasho Nesterovic (only eunuch to ever play in the NBA)
5. Malik Rose

[GSH]

Okay...I just put Malik on there to raise some peoples' blood pressure momemtarily. Calm down...stop writing your replies.

[stretch]

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.

I dunno. I hear Chicago people hate Bill Laimbeer quite a bit.

[Kamnik]

Why all the shaq hate?

I hate Arenas self loving at ude.

But i dont know why... i love how shaq does it. He is cool and funny in my eyes.


In the NBA i dislike:

-AMARE (stupid as a brick, trashtalks and shows off)

-KG (he once knocked down a teammate for no good reason-Rick Rickert; he acted like a superstar ; and i know for a fact Rickert is a good guy)

-Gilbert Arenas (self centred asshole)

-Lebron James (ok maybe not his fault.... but u always hear Lebron this Lebron that blablabla; when there are players better and more fun to watch then him imo; also the nail biting is annoying)

Kobe is borderline.... i cant really hate a guy who plays so hard and really desires to win

jr smith

how can you hate a productive player on your own team?

[romain.star]

Arenas is a ing asshole... the biggest asshole on earth, he is a disgrace to this game and to this league... him

[Strike]

Agreed. I love how he talked about droppin 50 on my hometown Blazers twice last season only to get punked both times.

There's been about 6 or 7 players in my time that I've truly despised. Arenas is on that list with guys like Laimbeer, Malone, Shaq, Sam Bowie, and a few others that don't come to mind at the moment.

[angel_luv]

I personally wish Reggie Miller still played. That would get him off TNT.

Off the tope of my head, I dislike Kobe, Jerry Stackhouse, Jason Terry, Amare, Ray Allen.
I don't hate any of them, just would not want them on a team I root for or own.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I imagine that if Reggie had played in the west and Spurs fans had to see him four times a year plus the playoffs he'd be pretty well reviled. As it stands it was always fun to see him busting e's balls.

[Reggie Miller]

Those Phoenix fans who think Nash got picked on by Horry simply haven't seen anybody really get knocked out of bounds like the old days.

McGinnis used to wear the Spurs out, particularly in Indy. George was a beast, and one of the few ABA stars who did well in the NBA. (Gervin and Erving also come to mind!) Size does matter...

I didn't think anyone remembered Keller! Good all-around player as well as a shooter. The Pacers and Colonels played pretty tough defense for the ABA.

[Reggie Miller]

I personally wish Reggie Miller still played. That would get him off TNT.

I'm afraid I agree. Reggie is hilarious in interviews or when he was on the old Dan Patrick show. I was pretty shocked to see how awful he is on TNT.

[dav4463]

jason terry and dirk nowitski

[Slo spurs fan]

Phil Jackson and his * talking.

[wildchild]

Kobe and Dirk. Much talent hurts my eyes

Dirk Nowitzki (can't stand his rock&roll 'tongue out' celebration)

[nfg3]

1. Karl Malone - obvious

2. Shaq - overblown ego and dissed SA and Drob - if he played in the 70's - 80's he fouls out by halftime

3. Kobe - egomaniac and the most divisive palyer in the league but God do I love his game.

4. Ray Allen - total whiny little ........

5. Amare - dissing SA and his whinning to the press - suck it up and go play! But he is just being like coach with three names. And I aggree that when Nash goes tough times are a coming.

6. KG - I really don't "hate" him but he has wasted his potential - too soft of a player and shrinks in crunch time.

7. Vince Carter - combo of Ray Allen and KG's shrinking in crunch time.

8. Timekeeper for Game 5 SA vs. LA 2004 - second round- It wasn't Fisher but that moron on the clock who beat us. Yeah I know he isn't a player but what the was he doing/thinking?

9. R Wallace - just for being himself and a totally out of control A-hole - no class and professionalism.

10. Isisah Thomas - as a player he was as dirty as they came. As a coach he totally sucks but I wont be too hard on him because he took Malik's contract off our hands. Thanks Zeke!
