Hmmm. Continue to kick asses and break hearts the way he has since 2002-03, I think.
The notion that flopping made Manu a great player is laughable -- it's actually absurd.
http://www.bustabucket.com/200903162...a-players.html ( PICS INSIDE)
well, nothing new about Bruce, we all knew that. for manu, it should be a mix between his (largely unfair) flopping reputation and his will to win than can annoys some opposite fans (and that should be considered like a compliment indeed)10. Zach Randolph. All kinds of double double talent but his behavior was despised in Portland. His at ude and off the court antics landed him in New York for small returns. Now he finds himself playing only for money and his Hoops Family in Clipperland.
9. Paul Pierce. Perennial loser in Boston until Danny Ainge made a deal with the Devil to bring in Allen and Garnett. From chirping at opponents to an overly y demeanor Paul Pierce is easy to hate. Don from With Malice summed it up best with this, "I mean... a wheelchair?"
8. Manu Ginobili. Manu represents all of the Euro transplants who defy gravity with their ridiculous flopping abilities and their incessant complaining. We've all grown to hate him over the years as the Spurs won NBA les. If only the league would crack down on soccer style antics, what would Ginobili do?
7. Kevin Garnett. For years KG took pity from NBA fans who saw his situation in Minnesota as a dead end. After Danny Ainge lost out on a top pick in the 2007 draft he quickly went to work and acquired KG. Soon enough Garnett became a bully in Boston. The yelling and taunting was now just over the top. Then after the championship things really got out of hand. Just ask Jerryd Bayless or Jose Calderon.
6. Carlos Boozer. After a shady exit from Cleveland a few years back, and talk of him being a malcontent in Utah, it's no wonder so many people dislike Boozer. Perhaps Boozer is just a scapegoat for Jazz haters. Either way there is a feeling that nobody seems to like this guy. Is it the Duke Alumni thing?
5. Ricky Davis. Extremely easy guy to hate here. First and foremost, trying to get a triple double by purposely clanking it off your own hoop? Maybe for me as a Blazer fan it was him calling our players roaches. Well congratulations Ricky "The Rat" Davis, you made it in the top 5.
4. Bruce Bowen. Another player who is hated for his rings just as much as his style of play. Bowen made a living off of physical frustrating defense. Many of us hate him for his complaining and association with the dreaded Spurs. I seem to recall quite a few dirty plays as well, like a kick to Amare Stoudemire or anything else he could muster up without the referees seeing.
3. Stephon Marbury. Stephon freaking Marbury. A basketball cancer at its highest level. No matter where he goes the team fails. Is it because he's the ultimate me-first guy? Maybe it was the smugness he exuded on the sideline in New York as he ran a coach out of town and destroyed a franchise. The best part? He's on the Celtics now, even more reason to dislike this guy.
2. Shaquille O'Neal. The big Aristotle may be loved by some but he is despised by so many others. His antics can be deemed as funny and disrespectful at the same time. His parting in LA left Jonathon of The Lakers Nation to share, "What can I say? the man has burnt a lot of bridges." So LA, Miami, and many of his opponents don't like him. Perhaps this is where Shaq would say, Don't hate me 'cause you ain't me?
1. Kobe Bryant. Our number one most hated NBA player. His talent is unquestionable, but with that talent he's brought the y at ude that many have grown to hate. He also somehow has spawned a legion of annoying Kobe fans who litter NBA arenas with their homemade T-shirts and blasphemous personas. Of course there was also the trials in Colorado which forever tarnished his image. What ever the case may be, Kobe is hated by many and loved by few.
Also receiving votes but missing out on the top 10 included; Matt Harpring, Sasha Vujacic, Kendrick Perkins, & JR Smith.
Thanks again to everyone who participated, this was fun!
anayway, KG at 7 is really unfair. he should be the MVP here. not even close IMO.

No Jason Terry?
Ginobili doesnt flop more than Pierce or even Wade.
Consider the source of who wrote the article.
lol I agree with the #1 pick!
That is such old news about Manu. If you have watched him through the years, he doesn't "exaggerate" contact nearly as much as he used to. When you talk about current "floppers" he shouldn't even be in the conversation.
thats only spurs fans. a lot of people actually like the guy.
Anderson Verajao? AK? Jason Terry? Maggette? Tyson Chandler? David West?
no iverson???????????????
I'd think Josh Howard should atleast be an honorable mention. And what about T-mac?
Kobe being the most hated sounds about right to me.
David West would be on my list. Dude always looks mad and whines. Put CP3 in that mix as well.
Most hated by who??
Since I was not polled, I will post my opinions here.
10. Zach Randolph. - Don't have any dislike towards him.
9. Paul Pierce. - Not a fan, but don't despise him either. Whatever
8. Manu Ginobili. - People only hate that he is not on their team.
7. Kevin Garnett- Strongly dislike but don't care enough to foster feeling.
6. Carlos Boozer. Don't have any dislike towards him.
5. Ricky Davis. Don't have any dislike towards him.
4. Bruce Bowen. - Guess they polled Ray Allen for this one.
3. Stephon Marbury. Don't have any dislike towards him.
2. Shaquille O'Neal. Strongly dislike but don't care enough to foster feeling. Whatever
1. Kobe Bryant. - Him I do despise- but so much so that I never give him a second thought. He is not worth the energy. Whatever
Matt Harpring, Don't have any dislike towards him.
Sasha Vujacic, - Don't have any dislike towards him.
Kendrick Perkins, - Who?
& JR Smith.Don't have any dislike towards him.
Totally agree with #1 on that list.
Ray Allen doesn't crack the top ten? That way, Boston's big-3 would all be on the list.
EDIT> Oh, and add CP3 to the list. Barrel-rollin little beeotch.
Ray Allen is actually a nice guy and possibly the only person wearing the Celtics jersey that isn't a .
It seems to be that winning rings is the best you can do to be hated.
Yeah, Ray Allen's really only been a towards Bruce Bowen. I can't really think of any other he's pulled. Pierce and Garnett's resumes speak for themselves.
And a big +1 to putting Varejao on that list. He pouted and held out for a contract that anyone with a brain in their head knew he didn't deserve. He's the worst flopper in the NBA today. No respectable big man should fall down that damn much. And he pisses and moans at every call that goes against him.

haha ur cute
I was thinking the same thing. The list wouldn't be complete with Turtle " head".
Varejao ? Nowitzki ? Josh Howard ? Barbosa ? Nash ? Crawford ? Murphy ? Jack ? TJ Ford ? Caron Butler ?
Barbosa is mad sweet! And he has that fresh off the boat vibe about him.
If the NBA refs are stupid enough to fall for flops
then blame then
its pretty ing obvious when someone flops
that list sucks!!! what about ron artest? derek fisher? t-mac? vince carter? whoever made that list is missing some guys...
