I can't think of a team or a team's fans that would not root for Manu had they had the chance to take him from the Spurs.
The Spurs offered a max contract because I think there would have been about 28 teams offering Manu a contract.
This. Manu is absolutely hated here in Salt Lake City. I have a few good Jazz-fan friends who I can talk basketball with, and while they dislike Manu, they keep it pretty civil. However, whenever I mention to someone random around town that I'm a Spurs fan, they give me an evil glare, and if they say anything it's usually Manu hate. (And the occasional stale line about the Spurs and Duncan being boring).

Yeah, because the Jazz are a real bunch of dynamos with personality to spare.
I hate Lebron because of the way he acts. He is an attention and loves playing it up. His 30 minute bull media session last year in NYC when he kept playing freakin mind games with the media saying "I'm going to test my options. I love Cleveland, my mind is on winning a championship. BUT DAMN NYC IS GREAT! AND JULY 2010 IS GOING TO BE A GREAT TIME!!!! AWESOME!!! BIGGEST DAY EVER!!! but im thinking of a championship right now".
Its like he's so full of himself and KNOWS the media loves him so he just comes off as an arrogant, pompous ass. I dislike Kobe Bryant but I feel like Kobe is arrogant in a "I'm so much better than you and will do anything to beat you on the courth" kind of way. Lebron is arrogant in a "I dominate basketball and you guys write about that all the time and I LOVE THE ATTENTION AND WILL CONTINUE TO ALL THIS ATTENTION BECAUSE I LOVE ME" kind of way.
But least fave player ever is Jason Terry followed by Rick Fox.
They didn’t want to name it pussyfied rugby, that’s all

I truly love that Manu is high on the list. I love it when he is booed, like he was against the Suns, and is usually booed in Denver. The reason they hate him is because he beats the crap out of their teams and they get sick of it.
And for me, i don't like Lebron. But I don't hate him either.
The only players I ever came close to hating as NBA players (not as a person) was Kevin Garnett, and Chris Paul.
Garnett for his constant trash talking against Duncan, and being all up in his face on several occasions.
Chris Paul for his antics during the Spurs/Hornets series in 2008. Wow, he was annoying the crap out of me. BUT...as a person, I know he is a great guy. From what I've heard, he does great things for the community and Sean Elliott always says how great of an individual he is off the court.
Now Kobe Bryant... thats another matter.
I can't hate someone just because he is very talented and plays on an opposing team. I love to beat the team of those players who I respect, because you are defined by how you do against the best opponents, not by the dregs.
Back in the day, fans didn't necessarily hate the superstars. The players they hated were the enforcers who'd beat the crap out of their best players, the cheap shot artists, the whiners, the showboats, and the bullies.
They'd get booed at the introductions and on every play they were involved in that was even slightly controversial.
I think this list missed the point of fan hate.
