Speaking of players we don't like

[PosImpos]

reggie35 why do you hate Brandon Jennings.  He is pretty darn good.  34 points in his playoff debut!  

And I would love him on the C's had we not had Rondo.

He may turn out to be pretty good, but he seems like a punk and a me first player (think Iverson). We'll see I guess...

From what I've seen and read of him, he doesn't seem very me-first at all.  He threw up a ton of shots this year but that's because he plays for a team with very few offensive threats.  When Bogut isn't playing he's basically forced to shoot a ton of shots.

He actually really lost a lot of confidence in his shot over the course of the year when they didn't go in as much.  It wasn't like he kept chucking stupid shots even when they weren't going in to the detriment of his team.  

I don't think a me-first player would be playing significant minutes for a playoff team coached by Scott Skiles.

Really, my impression of Jennings is that he's generally pretty humble.  I think playing short minutes for a European team that didn't coddle him just because he was a talented American youth probably helped a lot in that regard.  Just because the kid likes outrageous haircuts and gaudy shoes doesn't mean he's a punk.

Off the top of my head, some guys I don't like:

The "Hate Unconditionally" Group:

Mark Blount
Rafer Alston
Mike Bibby
Eddy Curry
Quentin Richardson
Mo Williams
Lamar Odom
Sasha Vujacic
Anyone from Duke not named Grant Hill
Donte Greene (bad memories from Cuse)

The "Hate Em but would love em if they were here" Group:

Joakim Noah
Anderson Varejao
Kobe Bryant (yup)

And the "Don't hate him solely because he plays here now" Group:

Sheed

Yeah, the punk label comes from the incident with Big Baby and KG. Not because of haircuts or shoes.

And he plays for Milwaukee. Any guy that likes to play here has got to be decent. I heard him do an interview a few months ago, he sounded like he has a good head, at least thats what I gathered from listening.

Hate Unconditionally

1. Lequeen James  - see my other posts
2.  Josh Smith -   every time he dunks it looks like hes constipated or something with that shriveled up face   UG makes me want to smack him
3. Pau Gasol- the llama
4A. Mo Williams....the most overrated PG in the game...and his stupid dances
4B.  Delonte West- See 4A  minus the overrated PG part,  we all know he sucks
5A. Varejao -  His hair annoys the heck out of me
5B. Noah-  see 5A
6. Stephen Jackson- his comments during the 08 season really sparked me the wrong way
7. Steve Nash-something about a White Canadian  running circles around my team  bugs me...and the long slimy hair  he's got going on


Coaches I hate:
1. Stan Van Loudmouth -   DOES EVERYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH HAVE TO BE IN THAT LOUD OBNOXIOUS VOICE!!!!
2. Mike Brown-  He wouldnt have a job if it werent for Lequeen,  he is easily one of the worst coaches but never shuts up on the sidelines
3. Phil Jackson-  I liked him in Chicago  but then he sold out last year with the X hat  and the "zen master" crap

PLAYERS I HATE

Lebron James - Everyone has already covered the reasons

Kobe (and to a lesser extent, all of the Lakers)

Dirk - He is always flailing those elbows around and I just don't like watching him play.

Manu - Hate floppers

Mo Williams - Too cocky now that he plays with Lebron

Andy V - Yuck.

GENERALLY HATED PLAYERS THAT I HAVE COME TO APPRECIATE:

Kenyon Martin - Even though he was our nemesis with the Nets, I love the nastiness he plays with.

Ron Artest - I find him entertaining and love his defense.

Joakim Noah - I admit I hated him coming out of Florida but I love his energy and hustle.

Only  Celtics Player I have ever hated

Jiri Welsh

[Mad Hatter]

Q-Rich
Melo
Vince Carter
Odom
Al Horford
Trevor Ariza
Joakim Noah
Josh Howard

......just to name a few

[BostonIrishGuy]

Ah, this is too good of a thread for me not to join in. Here's my list:

Hate list:

Kobe (duh)
Pau Gasoft "Eurotrash"
Sasha "Eurotrash mini me" Vujacic
Artest aka wannabe Rodman
Odumb Kardashian
Anderson "Sideshow" Verajao
LeChoke James
Manu the flopper Ginobili
Tim Dunkin (most boring player ever)
Phil Jackson - overrated, never as good as Red!
Joakim Noah - this guy is a punk but I wouldn't mind him on my team
Fisher - crybaby
Farmar - LA punk
Shannon Brown - another LA punk
Bynum - overrated, Perk owns him
Shaq - total Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.
Allen Iverson - another total Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.

and just for good measure, our very own SHEED makes my list. Every time I see him play defense or score baskets for the other team I want to vomit.

Players I have always disliked- Sheed, Qrich, Jermaine Oneal, Kobe(though maybe not quite as much lately- he is not quite as phony and camera conscious this year).
Players i dislike due to slacking- TMac, Baron Davis.
Steven(disgruntled)Jackson is a total jerk but I don't mind his game.
Player I used to hate but not so much lately- Kenyon Martin.
