CDixonDesign Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Not really a player in this instance, and probably one of the only people for me that really apply to this situation, but mine most def. has to be Mike Krzyzewski. From a Carolina fan standpoint, I hate the guy for all he's worth, he's a rat, whining bastard. But stepping back, that man is one of the top Coaches in Basketball to ever hold a whistle...

oddball Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 About half the Anaheim Ducks roster. Seriously. They have some pretty darn good players over there that I have a lot of respect for, especially up front with Selanne (who I absolutely love as he's one of the classiest players ever to play the game), Getzlaf, Perry, the talented freak Bobby Ryan, Lubo Visnovsky, Lilja. It's hard to hate those guys, but they wear the wrong jersey. Put them in a Mighty Ducks jersey and I might love them, but the ugly and crappy Anaheim Ducks jersey, I can't root for them.

RyanMcD29 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Yankees: Derek Jeter. It's been said multiple times in this thread, but even though he's on the Yankees he's the epitome of a player who gives it his all and a class act on and off the field. Also the greats like DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, Yogi, Mantle, and othersPhillies: Roy Halladay with his no-hitters galore and pitching abilityRangers: Brian Leetch, Adam Graves, and Mike Richter from the 94 Finals team. I've never had any problem with these guys. I guess throw in Henrik Lundqvist as wellPatriots: I guess Tom Brady for how insanely good his stats are and his role as a leader.

FiddySicks Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Kobe. This is quite petty and I know that, but I hate him and the Lakers so much that he pretty much single handedly turned me off to professional basketball to the point where I can't even watch it anymore. But the reason he did that is because he just absolutely kills everyone. He's the single best athlete I've ever seen play any sport and to not recognize that would just be extending my bitterness to the point where it's completely over the top. The minute he's out of the league I'll be the happiest person around, but there is no doubt the NBA will have suffered a HUGE loss when that happens.

infrared41 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Barry Bonds: The attitude. The 'roids. Barry Bonds was very easy to dislike. I have been watching baseball for over 40 years and I'm here to tell you that the guy was the best player I've ever seen...and I'm talking about pre-steroid Bonds. I have to respect that.I couldn't stand Bonds as a player, but as I understand advanced statistics and sabermetrics more... holy , he might be the greatest baseball player of all time. He routinely outhit his BABIP by 40-60 points. A player doing this in general is rare(there were two players who did so in 2010... Vladamir Guerrero [bA:.300, BABIP:.292] and Albert Pujols [bA:.312, BABIP:.297], but I can't find any who did it as often, and with such disparity as Bonds. It takes an incredible K% and good-great power to even be possible.The thing that just kills me with Bonds is that he didn't need the steroids. Imagine what people would be saying about him today had he stayed clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arr1023 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I absolutely hate some of the players on the celtics especially as a lakers fan... but i gotta respect Rondo that guy is an incredible player and I enjoy watching him play.

GMW79 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I have to agree with GFB. I utterly abhor the Denver team, but Sakic was a class act and I was actually sorry to see him retire. I'm also starting to come around on Crosby. I hate what he did in the Olympics and the Pens beating the Wings was uncool, but he is an amazing player and having the opportunity to watch such a talented player in his prime is a privilege.

RuffDawg Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Troy Polamalu. Dammit, why does he have to be so good? And why do his commercials have to be so funny? *sigh*If we're talking past players as well, Steve Yzerman. There comes a point when you don't stand for the constant heartbreak anymore, and walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Mine is Devin Hester, the first truly exciting offensive player on the Bears since their '80s powerhouse era. He can still change games singlehandedly, as he has proven a few times already this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
