"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 titles. If only the league would crack down on soccer style antics, what would Ginobili do?"

So good! So true!

I'm just gonna ignore Kobe at #1...

No Timmy Duncan??? I don't hate him that much but I thought he'd be there. You can't have the WHOLE Spurs team I guess.

Posey is one who'd be on mine.

"8. Manu Ginobili. Manu represents all of the Euro transplants who defy gravity with their ridiculous flopping abilities and their incessant complaining."

Yeah, apart from the fact Argentina is on the other side of the world to Europe.

haha! Great point billo! And I don't think Kobe deserves to be there at all, let alone at 1.

Surprised to not see Artest at least get a mention, although I have read somewhere that he is a well-respected and liked teammate. obviously not shy of controversy 'though.

Carmelo Anthony would definitely get a vote from me, even top 3 I'd say. The last couple of months has only halped to solidify his status as a me-first cancer.

Lockstock - yeah, good call on Melo. I'd also have LeBron in there.

I'd flop too if I was playing guys like kobe ect that get calls based on who they are and not what just transpired on the court.
It isn't always like that but it does happen.

can't stand

whole Lakers roster
Yao Ming
Ron Artest
Chris Paul (looks like Carlton of the fresh prince)
Carlos Boozer

sorry to anyone that i missed

Just curious, what's up with the Boozer hate ?? Have i missed something that he did or does ??

where is sasha vujacic? he would be my number 2 right after bruce bowen. also I have a lot of hatred for noah of the bulls, cant stand that douchebag.

speed44 - I was going to ask the same thing... what's wrong with Boozer? Seems like a random player to hate on.

Bruce Bowen, Marbury and LeBron would probably be my top (bottom) three. Most hated team, the Spurs by a mile.

Can't stand the knock on Manu being a flopper , every player in the NBA does it if it is advantageous . Manu is just very good at it .
He cops his fair share of hard fouls also and doesn't whinge .

As for flopper dickheads number 1 , Look to the AFL , Ablett , Bartel and the rest of the Geebungholes dive like pansies , dropping to their knees when they feel the breeze at their backs . Then they give cheap rib ticklers when the fudgepackers in red , orange or yellow are not watching .

Back to task at hand . Kobe gives cheapshots and plenty of em , arrogant and petulant . Don't buy the mature all grown up act , deserves to be there.
Lebron definitely should be in there , peacock struttin muppet .

Guessing the Boozer hate could relate to his injury status, he appears to really take his time to rehab and get well and wont take one for the team and play at 90% fitness, deciding to rehab away from the team, openly stating he well opt out next season during the opening weeks of this season, the screw-job he did on the Cavs.

Stoudamire?

On Boozer what about how he basically commited to Cleveland before then signing with Utah?

Reason of hate?

y to hate?

rotate - having a bad day mate? Anything else you want to get off your chest ;)

Hey LS , didn't think so until i reread this morning . Quite a vent i guess , hmmm back to therapy .

Interesting that the majority of those hated in the original post are Championship players

We all hate em, but would love em playing for our teams........admit it

Hate Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade, they are such HOGS and individual players,its all about them when are they going to get it that its a TEAM game!

CC........you watched a Lakers game this season?
