All-Star/Superstar players you were never a fan of.

[1987_Lakers]

Allen Iverson - Yes, he was an amazing talent, but I hated his inefficiency and attitude.

Chris Webber - Very skilled big man who could pass & score, but he couldn't play defense and always choked.

Chris Bosh - Overrated IMO, if he isn't scoring he can be pretty ineffective.

Amare Stoudemire - What can this guy do besides score?

Pete Maravich - Absolute tragedy this guy made the 50 greatest players of all time list over guys like Dominique Wilkins & Bob McAdoo.

Elvin Hayes - Selfish choker.

[Xiao Yao You]

Dominique, Carmelo

[TheeBeast]

Bosh, Stoudemire, Boozer

[Xiao Yao You]

Boozer, Okur, Eaton

[Djax12]

Current players : Blake Griffin, Paul Pierce (just don't like their on court attitude)

Past players : Isiah Thomas, Kevin Johnson (they're Stockton's rivals, can't help it)

[roffie]

derrick rose and blake griffin

[Xiao Yao You]

Sloan(as a coach not a player)

[Skep]

Tmac, Pierce, CP3, Melo, Griffin, Westbrook

[Brickz187]

Harden, Durant, Pierce, Boozer

[joeyjoejoe]

Harden - ridiculous flopartist, pierce - constantly acting like hes been hard done by, artest - thug tactics

[Flea]

Lebron, Kobe, Amare, Bosh.

[Pushxx]

Harden - ridiculous flopartist, pierce - constantly acting like hes been hard done by, artest - thug tactics

Pierce is one of the hardest players the league has seen. People only seem to know Pierce from the Big 3 era.

[jcyrus10]

Paul pierce, blake griffin, amare, boozer

[LBJ 23]

Duncan, Yao

[9512]

Having been a fan of the NBA since the early 90s, it's hard to appreciate others who are not Scottie Pippen, Shawn Kemp, Michael Jordan.

It seems like a lot of the players today whose games or athleticism are heavily influenced by the 90s.

So you can assume that %100 All Stars (minus CP3) of today I am not a fan of. Too stuck to the past.:mad: :( :oldlol:

[midatlantic09]

Carmelo
Paul Pierce
Tim Duncan
Boozer
Karl Malone
Dirk
Deron Williams
Yao

[Bucket_Nakedz]

tim duncan, penny hardaway, karl malone, david robinson.

op, you need to be more specific. if we're talking about superstars, then my list above still stands. but if we're talking about any player that's been an all-star, then you are belittling the true superstars of the league. i see people mentioning boozer, and though he was an all-star (idk why) his name should not be mention as the ones i alluded to above. everytime i hear or see the word boozer, i want to puke.

[FreezingTsmoove]

I absolutely DESPISE Paul Pierce. Hate EVERYTHING HE DOES. Just from this postseason alone tebowing after beating an injured Hawks team :facepalm acting like your about to win the finals after Game 5 against the Heat smh. Not to mention he cant close a series out if his life depended on it. Dude loves having Game 6's and 7's

I'm heavily biased since I'm a huge Heat fan though

[Raz]

I was never a fan of guys with shitty attitudes, or guys that weren't team players. Here's my list of guys that have fit that mold at some stage:
-LeBron James
-Dwayne Wade
-Stephon Marbury
-Kobe Bryant
-Allen Iverson
-Ron Artest (quitting on his team for a rap album)
-Steve Francis
-Shawn Kemp
-Vince Carter

There's a lot more, I got bored with making a list.

[alenleomessi]

kobe, rose

[NewYorkNoPicks]

Paul Pierce - thinks he is some warrior. Has an overly inflated sense of self. Feels very entitled. Complains about what he perceived are non calls. Looks like Beatlejuice. Has a mustache reminiscent of a Rat. Soft fat body. Plays with zero mobility. Smug. Fugazy. Dork.

LeBron James - "Not 1 not 2 not 3". Conspiring with Riley and Wade. Would rather JOIN HIS RIVALS INSTEAD OF COMPETING AGAINST THEM FOR A RING. Took the easy way out. #1 talent with a #2 mentality. Shrinks and cowers in big moments (dont give me the past year bullshit, the guys been in the league 9 years and it took him that long to close out a few games). Had to see a psychologist to learn behavior modification techniques to combat his fear of clutch situations (true story). Told all his confidants NY was the place, including (CC Sabathia), we cleared the roster for him and he changed his mind. Is Wades bitch. Has a very fake personality; says all the right things to e politically correc but behind closed doors hes a real scumbag

Dwayne Wade - for most of the reasons listed under LeBron. Additionally hes a ery feminine looking guy with d1ck svking lips. Looks like a duck and a closet homosexual. HGH jaw. One of the biggest sh1t talkers on the Planet behind closed doors, buttoo scared to show his real personality to the media. THE DEFINITION OF THE GUY WHO WILL SMILE IN YOUR FACE AND STAB YOU IN THE BACK.

Bosh - soft as they come. Hes the guy who talks trash when he can hide behind his friends

Gasol - soft as they come

[TheMan]

DWade, used to like him but has become an arrogant douche.
Carmelo, just something about his game I never liked.
Iverson, his thuggish attitude always rubbed me the wrong way.
Sprewell, see above...
Dwight Howard, happy go lucky doofus that won't win you a ring as the centerpiece and the biggest NBA diva.

[christian1923]

KG.. Dude is a total scumbag on the court

[mattvNJ]

Blake Griffin, can't stand him. Also despite their play i don't particularly enjoy watching wade or cp3(both amazing players though)

[Xiao Yao You]

Kidd

[DaHeezy]

Keep in mind here, me stating these names doesn't mean I'm a hater, just means I'm not a fan of their game:

- Blake Griffin
- Paul Peirce
- Russell Westbrook
- Chris Bosh

[stallionaire]

Carmelo Anthony
Blake Griffin

[KobesFinger]

Kevin Durant. I don't like watching him, I just find his game too boring. The other top tier SFs in the league (LeBron, Carmelo and to some extent Paul Pierce) I could watch all day. But whenever I see him play, he has a sloppy handle, can't/doesn't pass and is a poor/average defender. I recognise that he is one of the 3 best players right now but yeah.

[Maniak]

Kobe

[NOHCP3]

Pierce, Vince Carter.

[Rockets(T-mac)]

Hmm..

Lebron
Dwight
Jermaine O'neal
Jamal Mashburn
Marbury

There are probably more. There are some guys that I used to like, and don't really anymore, and visa versa, but I did/do like them at a time so they don't qualify.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Tmac- always came off as whiny little bitch. Couldn't stand his laid back style. shitty leader

Iverson- Inefficient and didn't practice. Always gets the "had heart" excuse

KG- One of the biggest clowns in the NBA. Runs away like a bitch from McDyess. Did nothing when Bron taunted him in the playoffs

Deron Williams- I don't like his attitude. He is the guy at the YMCA that throws a hissy fit if you do something wrong. Needs to be more of a leader instead of a complainer/malcontent

Sheed Wallace- Just an unlikeable person imo.

Kevin Love- stat padder on awful teams.

[SilkkTheShocker]

Allen Iverson - Yes, he was an amazing talent, but I hated his inefficiency and attitude.

Chris Webber - Very skilled big man who could pass & score, but he couldn't play defense and always choked.

Chris Bosh - Overrated IMO, if he isn't scoring he can be pretty ineffective.

Amare Stoudemire - What can this guy do besides score?

Pete Maravich - Absolute tragedy this guy made the 50 greatest players of all time list over guys like Dominique Wilkins & Bob McAdoo.

Elvin Hayes - Selfish choker.


Bosh is a vastly underrated defender.

[HardwoodLegend]

Tmac

I can understand finding faults with his intangibles and not wanting to support him, but did you not like watching him play from '00-03?

Were you not entertained by the silky smooth athleticism of vintage TRACY MCGRADY from a purely aesthetic standpoint?!

[dbugz]

Wade - fckn douche!

[fsvr54]

Ray Allen
Amare
Boozer
Westbrook
Harden

[B-Low]

Back in the 90s:
Malone
Isaiah Thomas
Stephon Marbury
Sprewell
Stackhouse
Gary Payton (respect him more now, but when he played i HATED him)
Allan Houston
Patrick Ewing (see Payton)

00's:
Richard Hamilton
Tayshaun Prince
Wade
Amare
Carmello
Paul Pierce
Chris Paul
Andew Bynum

[StateOfMind12]

Carmelo Anthony - inefficient shot jacker that does nothing else to impact the game. He is selfish, overrated, and an underacheiver.

Mo Williams - he probably doesn't even belong on the list but he was an all-star in 2009 so I'm going to count him. He had to pretty much cry his way into the all-star game when he shouldn't have been selected as an all-star replacement anyways. He does nothing to impact the game besides shoot and is a gigantic choker in the post-season especially during the 2009 ECF against the Magic when Lebron was having a historically great series. I pretty much wanted Lebron to leave Cleveland because of him because I couldn't stand this ****. I didn't want Lebron to join Miami though but at least he wouldn't be playing with this idiot.

Allen Iverson - I love how hard he played during games but I pretty much disliked everything else about him. I disliked his massive ego, his style of play, his attitude, etc.


There are plenty of stars though that I grew to hate like McGrady, Wade, Boozer, etc. but I did like them at some point. The players I had listed were the stars that I pretty much never liked and had always resented.



Harden
Not an all-star yet but as soon he becomes one he will on my list as well since he is a choking ***** who is also a defensive liability.

[AK47DR91]

Kobe
McGrady
Carter
Melo
Amare
Miller
Iverson
Paul
Durant

Many others more. Too many to list.

[IGotACoolStory]

I'm going by anyone with 3 or more allstar appearances...

Karl Malone, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, Jermaine O'Neal, Chauncey Billups, Shawn Marion, Steve Francis, Peja Stojakovic, Antoine Walker, Latrell Sprewell, Vin Baker, Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing, and Shaquille O'Neal.

[Nelson14]

The White Mamba Scalabrine, wouldn't give ma an autograph once. Other than that he is awesome!

[AlexanderRight]

Elvin Hayes - Selfish choker.

Get off this forum.

[WillC]

Pete Maravich - Absolute tragedy this guy made the 50 greatest players of all time list over guys like Dominique Wilkins & Bob McAdoo.

Absolute tragedy that you have no idea how good Maravich was:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhAFFgpXUC0

[1987_Lakers]

Get off this forum.

You honestly believe Maravich deserved to be on that 50 greatest players list?

I don't think Maravich ever led his team out of the 1st round of the playoffs.

[ncrizzle]

Blake Griffin- Yes he puts up good numbers, but i just dont think he is a super star. Until he develops a real post game ( spare me the points in the paint BS) and a jumper, you do not deserve to be called a super star

Westbrook- I just hate his attitude. Hes so smurk.

[ukballer]

Vince Carter - Has always rubbed off on me the wrong way, and I can't put my finger on it specifically. I've seen moments of laziness on the court from him sometimes, coasting along. I never got the feeling from him that he was all about winning. Long as he threw down some nasty dunks he seemed to be satisfied.

KG - Grown on me a lot the last season or so, but he does some really stupid shit at times. The barking and hollering at smaller players like Calderon just made him look stupid I think. When he first joined Boston and played against Minnesota, he was jumping around, barking, beating his chest, screaming etc like they'd just won the 'chip, when obviously in reality they barely scraped past a bad, very young Timberwolves team he'd just left. Found that a bit classless. But like I said, grown on me.

Andrew Bynum - Just that attitude. Gives off this aura of just being content to be a borderline all-star, shows little interest in winning or losing. Just doesn't seem the brightest guy on the planet. I'd be wrong to say he's wasting his gifts as he's still a really good player, but I'd be fascinated to see what he would be like if he really had that desire to be great, or had half the work ethic regular Joes on the street like us have. I know almost all of us would kill to be blessed with Bynum's physical gifts, and would work every day and want to be a superstar in the NBA. Hell, even the same work ethic as a Kobe, LeBron, KD etc. Frustrates the hell out of me, his contentment. I don't know the guy, maybe I'm completely wrong, but from the outside looking in, this is what I think.

Distinct lack of Dwight Howard being mentioned in this thread too. One of my favourite players has frankly become one of the players irritating the hell out of me constantly. I'm done with even caring about the trade talk, and all the bull that has been spewed by various different parties throughout it all. He's already ruined his good guy, funny man image to me, whatever goes down these next few months, or longer.

[greymatter]

Jordan: Rivalry reasons. Also couldn't stand him because he was the premier primadonna of his time. Doesn't help his case that he's been confirmed as a total douche off the court as well.

Reggie Miller: Rivalry reasons. Easy to hate since he'd taunt your team by making the choking gesture.

Kobe: Could always tell he was full of himself by the way he played. Couldn't be any plainer when he made his first all-star game and waived away a Karl Malone pick (which of course pissed Karl off).

AI: Too good to go to practice? If he's "the answer", must have been a stupid question.

Grant Hill: One word: overrated.

Steve Francis: The original Russell Westbrook except even dumber and more out of control.

[tmacattack33]

What was his attitude? Playing every game harder than anyone besides Kobe and MJ (in terms of star players)?

[StateOfMind12]

Not practicing or caring about it, having too big of an ego to come off the bench, having a lazy work-ethic, etc.

He played hard every game, too bad he never played hard outside of those bright showtime lights which is also important.

[tmacattack33]

I see.

We as fans can only see what the players do in games though.

Unless you worked with the Philadelphia 76ers from 1997 to 2005, you don't really know what went down in practice.

[CarlosBoozer]

Durant, harden and westbrook

[Round Mound]

Michael Jordan: Too Much Media Loving and Hype. I Mean It Was Like There Was No Other Superstar in the 90s

David Robinson: Too Soft IMO and In the Play-Offs Shrunk from All His Hype

Shaq: When Young Was More Athletic But Still Lacked Post Game

Iverson: Perfect Example of a an Inefficient Ball Hogg

Gary Payton: He Though Of Himself as a Much Higher Level Player and Wasn`t

[Xiao Yao You]

What was his attitude? Playing every game harder than anyone besides Kobe and MJ (in terms of star players)?

His attitude was that it was better he throw up every shot even if he had several teammates wide open.

[FKAri]

Carmelo - felt he was overrated since 07. Media kept lumping him with Wade and Lebron when in reality he has never been on that level.

KG - not a fan of his on-court antics. LOVE his game though.

Rondo - diva

Bynum - no explanation needed

[scandisk_]

90's - Too many to mention. Probably because of rivalry reasons.

Melo - Need I say more?

D-Wade - Was never a fan, and his recent antics doesn't help either.

At some point Kobe and Lebron - Too much hype earlier in their careers but what can I say, they earned it like muthaf*ckas.

[WockaVodka]

I hope you realize he does this all the time and against every team.

Wasn't just the media. Him and his followers believe it too.

[ukballer]

:biggums:

Everyone and their mother knows this.

Guess you missed the part where I mentioned it was against his old team, which at the time were a very bad team. Found that particular instance just a bit classless. But like I mentioned, the guy has grown on me these last few years.

even before the pedo stuff. never could pinpoint why though, he just seemed like a prima donna and a dbag (and also that lame-ass "signature dunk")
