10 Most Hated Players in the NBA

[timvpimp]

at least these 11 lads listed are all PLAYERS who still play the game, none of whom earns his paycheck by doing NOTHING- the only thing that does for his team.

[Sisk]

I think I've met like one person who hate LBJ..

I hate kobe and garnett, that's about it..

bad list IMO

yea its almost like the author wants more people to hate James for some strange reason

3. Manu Ginobili-I don't understand why he is so high on the list, but strangely, I am proud of it. People who complain about flopping have never played basketball compe ively. It's called taking a charge. It's part of the game, dumbass. If you want to be mad, blame the refs. Manu is a Bad Man. A magician. An upsetter. He is . . . Batman. Anyone who hates Manu is just confused by the overwhelming respect they have for his game.

Ginobili isnt synonymous with "flop" because he "takes charges".

I dont know anyone who hates LBJ.

Kobe should be #1 and #2 for his split personality. Number one should be the REAL Kobe (the smug, arrogant asshole) and number two should be his phony personality (the one who wears the sweater vests during press conferences and plagerizes Jordan).

Uhhh it says 1 player per team. He picked Devin Harris because who else on the Nets would he pick. He picked Diaw because this was before the SJAX trade. People need to actually read things before ing about things.

Brook lopez
Gerald Wallace.

Sure he does. He sacrifices his body on defense the way he does on offense. I won't deny that he doesn't "sell" the charge, but that doesn't mean a foul didn't occur.

[senorglory]

8. Kevin Garnett-I would put KG a lot higher on my list. Maybe #1. I've never liked Garnett. He is a punk. The anti-Duncan. A loud mouth jackass. Chest beating, F bomb dropping, Baby Davis yelling pretend tough guy . KG!

[Fernando TD21]

1a - Kobe
1b - KG

imho.

Agreed.

Lebron shouldn't be ranked so high in this list and Marion shouldn't be there.

[GoSpurs99]

What a joke! Iverson hated less that LBJ, Manu and others. Wow.

[kace]

that's just plain bull about manu ginobili.


that's not because journalists keep on saying a false thing that's it becomes true.

Manu could be one of the most loved and respected player over the fans, especially if you take in account the international fans. He would not be in a top 10 of favorite players because he isn't very exposed as a spurs player an a quiet non american guy. but if you asked fans/journalist/players/coachs what they think about manu, it will be almost always a good thing.

Medias has praised a lot manu, sometimes even overpraising him (i.e his clutch play who isn't supported by any stat) and in the same time over bashed him for his flopping and the supposed hate others fans has for him.

The flopping "hate" is a myth created by the journalist and that goes in the head of fans who reads it again and again. that's the medias creating a thing by saying it again and again. i'm not saying manu doesn't flop. Just that medias has talked about it, and the supposed hate about it, more than necessary

manu is one the most pleasant player to watch and a proven winner, and almost every fan would agree with this.

Just like Steve Nash, but less frequently, right?

[romain.star]

Manu is a great guy, proven winner and a highly exciting player...
This ranking is based on nothing at all, at least concerning Manu.

'em

[jestersmash]

Ginobili hasn't flopped extensively for years. It's gotten to the point where any time somebody is called for a foul on Ginobili, it's only because he "flopped" his way to the line.

It's like people...don't even watch the game. They're just making up at this point based on crowd perception.

[Bukefal]

Kobe should have been on top and Manu, I dont know why he is on that list, because he has so many people who like him, he is very popular among spurs fans but also so many others and so many people outside the USA who like the guy.

I thought he was the kind of player almost everyone liked, at least who have sympathy for him.

he is. These rankings are just bull , based on nothing tangible

He has nothing to do with the likes of Garnett, Iverson, Kobe and LBJ

[BronxCowboy]

I agree with whoever said that he hates LeBron because he's a jackass. I think he IS a great player, but he kills any respect I have for him every time he opens his mouth. Of course, guys like this author have probably made him that way with statements like if you don't like Lebron, you don't know basketball. And oh yeah, except for the few crybabies around the league, I didn't think Manu was that hated either.

[OldSilentHill]

Soccer sucks in America because we have Football.

Give me a break, haven´t heard anything more stupid in the last week.

PS: BTW, I´ve always considered that "Football" is a curious name for a sport that is played mostly with hands. Guess they didn´t have more imagination at that moment

They didn’t want to name it pussyfied rugby, that’s all

Think Bowen would be on that list if he was still playing?

Without a doubt.

Hahaha... Shaq said it best a couple of years ago...

They boo you because they fear you...

At least for the stars that is true.

Kobe is hated #1, no question.

[Drachen]

I've never got the impression that Manu is necessarily hated. People always complain about his flopping and such, but a lot of people like his game.

One of the directors at my work moved here from phoenix and told me when Bowen was traded for Jefferson "dang, you guys need to quit picking up guys I like, you got rid of Bowen, and got Jefferson, if you guys get rid of Manu, I might actually be able to like the spurs and root for them when they are not playing the Suns." He hates Manu.

Oh and before you flame the heck out of him, he is pretty self-deprecating about the Suns place vis-a-vis the Spurs. He later told me he couldn't truely root for the spurs until duncan is gone too because of the hurting those players have put on his team.
