  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
Tony Parker, Ricky Davis, Sebastian Telfair, Ron Artest

I also love watching any game that Zac Randolph is a part of. 

Really? You just threw Telfair in there with no explanation like he was an obvious choice?

Always loved Jason Terry- great socks and shooter and of course TD

Secretly, I guess Artest and back in the day, Pervis...

Good point with Terry.  I love Terry and Dirk as well too.

I've always been a big Telfair guy and I want him to eventually succeed.  He puts together some disgusting moves at times and I hope he can get it done for the Twolves.  I'm not optimistic about it but hey, ill root for him.

Add TJ Ford to my list.  One of my favorites.

It wouldn't kill me to get to know Lauren Jackson of the Seattle Storm or Russian sensation Becky Hammon.  Does that count?   ::)

My heart skips a beat every time Deron Williams throws that beefy crossover.

Am I the only one who would welcome a moratorium on "which player/team/coach/referee do you love/hate/like/dislike/adore/loath" kind of threads? There's like 2 new ones every day.  :D

Sorry  :-\ I didn't mean to be repetitive. I was just curious about which players people were ashamed of openly liking around their basketball buddies.
Tommy: He's got a line about me. Tell him the line.

Mike: Everybody 60 or over knows Tommy as a player. Everybody 40 or over knows Tommy as a coach. Everybody 20 or over knows Tommy as a broadcaster. And everybody 10 or under thinks he's Shrek.

Good question, and ooh, there are plenty, just a few off the top of my head...

-Agree that I love Bowen (though I wanted to kill him while he was holding our swingmen on Friday).  He could play for me any day.
-Rip Hamilton: right there with Ray as the best in the game at moving without the ball.
-Courtney Lee: just plays smart basketball.  Nice shooter, too.

-sw

Interesting.  High marks for admitting these, because i (and many) love to hate both Bowen (evil streak) and Rip Hamilton (arrogance.....perceived, that is).  I also love to hate Lamar odom (therefore another excellent admission for this thread)....

I don't think I love any of the classically hated, except maybe Varejao, but he's not very hated, I think....(I did love J. Dumars, Isiah Thomas and sometimes Rodman (dangerously high love quotient for those bad boy Celtic enemies...)  Also loved Magic J. and Cooper...and K.A.J. moderately)  I have NO LOVE for today's main Celtic foes:  Kobe, Lebron, D Howard, Duncan, etc....Oh, I do love Billups and Prince.

Back to the love: 
Less obvious love:  Varejao, Barbosa, Anthony Randolph, Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler, Biedrins, M Ellis, Craig Smith,

More obvious love:  Big Al, D West, Chris Paul, B Roy, Durant, J. Johnson, Marvin Williams
