Most hated players

I've been reading this site for over a year, but this is my first fanpost.  I'm getting really tired of all the rumors and trade talk, too.  I like what Dave did to try to mix it up a bit with the greatest "other Blazers," so here's a new category: Which player in the NBA do you hate more than everyone else.

In an attempt to make this at least a little interesting, let me rephrase that: Besides K*be, who do you hate the most?  Personally, it's a toss-up between Carlos Boozer and Andre Iguodala.  Boozer for his dirty Alaskan style of play and Iguodala for his never-ending whining at the refs.

Shaq

Too many memories of all those elbows and traveling violations he got away with in LA…

I'll never forget the time

he elbowed Brian Grant in the mouth, then knocked Sheed to the ground…and the refs called a foul on Mighty Mouse…I almost lost my mind

Jerryd Bayless & Nicolas Batum

I decided to start hating them now, so when people start complaining about the players will more experience getting more playing time than them, I’ll have plenty of ammo.

I actually like Fisher

He’s pretty classy. He gets a lot of bad rap but he’s a cool guy. He’s been through a lot, with his daughter and all that stuff. Gotta’ give the man props.

Fox on the other hand, gets under anyone’s skin. Arrrgh I heard him on ESPN radio the other day and wanted to smash in my dashboard cassette deck and radio (yes—cassette deck!).

Rick Fox

Number one with a bullet. Close behind him are Bowen and Karl Malone. I have slightly more tolerance for a lot of the Jail Blazer crowd than most, but Bonzi and JR Rider wore out their welcome with me long ago. There are also a number of scrubs who I don’t like (Tyronn Lue springs to mind), but it doesn’t seem fair to hate someone who isn’t actually that good of an NBA player.

Adding Jeff McInnis for myself. I can’t really explain that one. I even hated him when he was a Blazer, which means yes, I know, I should cut the Jack-bashers some slack.

I'm a lover, not a hater

There are players I’m mildly displeased with (Ginobli), but there is only player that I hate currently..and that’s K*be for ripping my heart out several times.

SloppyJoe’s Historical Hates:
Jordan (his three pointer barrage in the early-mid 90s)
Bird (remember him shooting down our Blazers in a game in the early 90s)

by SloppyJoe on Jul 2, 2008 8:38 AM PDT   0 recs

"Bird (remember him shooting down our Blazers in a game in the early 90s)"

That wasn’t a three….it was a travel. His foot touched the ground as he released the ball (inside the three pt line too)

No Wonder I Hate Him

Good memory. I didn’t remember that. I just remember that I hated him for that game.

by SloppyJoe on Jul 2, 2008 8:50 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

1. Bonzi (he made me hate myself for being a Blazer fan)
2. Carmella Anthony (looks like a WNBA player to me, skinny fat guy with manateats, and he’s a punk)
3. Garnett (he’s intense, we get it)
4. Zach (most overrated 20/10 guy the league currently has, and refer to post #1)
5. Karl Malone (what he lacked in athleticism he made up for in dirty play and intimidation. #5 on list only cuz he’s no longer playing.)

I hate Karl too but didn't he have like 4% body fat for most his career, im pretty sure that means he's ath-a-let-ic(barkley talk)

but dont get me wrong I HATE him and thank heaven for that guy that brought the cowbell and sat behind the bench and had that bi** whining.. LOL

I always marvelled that a guy built like Malone

put so much effort into flopping. People blame Divac for making flopping an offensive weapon, but Malone was at it long before Divac.

Karl=King of elbows

He used to throw those bows with the intent to knock you out. I remember him throwing one against the admiral that knocked the man cold. Hate that dude.

Real men throw elbows.

And grab jerseys & shorts.

And stick out their feet.

Whatever they can get away with.

Malone and the Jazz

earned my hate when he knocked out Brian Grants teeth in the game with a PURPOSEFUL elbow. If I had been there I would have rushed him and died.

She was runnin the treadmill… He told her, “Let me use that machine. you need to get off.”...she answered, “I’ll be done in fifteen. you can use it then..” he responds. “don’t you know who i am. I’m john stockton. get off the f’n machine.” she told him. “That’s nice. but i dont give a crap.you’re gonna have to wait dousche bag..”...........stockton is an arrogant punk. that story made my heart sing as a blazer fan….

Fabricio Oberto

the guy has no real talent, except for flopping around like a fish out of water!

by lefty6283 on Jul 2, 2008 9:27 AM PDT   0 recs

Just a few...

Lamar Odom, Sean Elliott, Greg Ostertag, Shaq, and Rasheed.

I acutally like Elliott, but he hit that memorial day miracle shot that was a dagger in my heart.

by Arby on Jul 2, 2008 9:38 AM PDT   0 recs

Aw, you picked mine...Elliot.

This is one where I actually like the guy as a person, but as an opponent of the Blazers I HATED him. That 3-pointer-tippy-toe shot to give the Spurs the lead after trailing the ENTIRE game is a dagger that still has shards imbedded in my heart.

Sheed- MVP potential, fifth grader attitude.
Arenas- one man team = looser.
Rick Fox- L8kr. Nuff said.

by Steve The Hedge on Jul 2, 2008 9:47 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Ostertag?

I thought that people only hated people who had some skillz.

My friend once got tickets from work that we 8 rows behind the visitor’s bench. The Kings were in town and Ostertag spent the entire game sitting on the end of the bench hitting on the girls that sat on the baseline seats. Those were some awesome seats

I’m sure there are more, but those guys came to mind first.

I sat courtside at the last Denver game in PDX

you know, the one Jarrett lost in oT for us when he stole the ball and promptly caused an unearned turnover… anywho, i have digressed.

Right next to us sat a man and his son who was probably 6 and was wearing a denver AI jersey. His dad was a blazer fan so I didn’t hate them. During halftime AI came over and shook the lil kids hand and said “good lookin out son” and then gave him a high five. At the end of the game, after the blazers lost…tears, snif snif…. he pointed at the kid and gave him a big smile. Im pretty sure that kid will NEVER forget that night. To be honest, I couldn’t be mad the Ai for beating us and I was soo happy to see him do that, it was just rely nice to see.

A sadist and a masochist started dating, but their relationship didn’t work out. The masochist would say “Beat me!” and the sadist would say “No.”
