Everybody doesn’t like something. But nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee.

[Kblaze8855]

Iconic and clever tagline of Sara Lee bread/snacks back in the day. Thinking of it makes me envision Don Draper with a smug ass look on Mad Men having just come up with it. Anyway…this shouldn’t need much explaining.

Who fits the description?

To be clear I don’t mean who you think should fit it. I think Duncan should be one but I know for a fact he isn’t. I want what you think may be close to reality…not what you feel should be.

So. Everybody doesn’t like someone. But nobody doesn’t like….who?

[Kblaze8855]

I feel like an obvious one is Ernie Johnson.

Nobody doesn’t like Ernie Johnson.

Id also like to nominate Brook Lopez. Never met or encountered a Brook Lopez hater in his current form. Laker days? Maybe. Nobody doesn’t like Bucks Brook Lopez…right?


How about Pj Tucker? Andrei Kirilenko?

He have any weird ties to the Russian government that has given him haters?

Who else worth nomination?

I like all those guys, brook is on thin ice with his weird gay disney shit though

[ShawkFactory]

I would say Duncan and Tmac but there are undoubtedly Kobe fans who hate on both of them. Maybe some residual KG guys who hate on Duncan.

I think Jrue Holiday is fairly universally respected. Jimmy Butler is right there but there are people who don't like the Heat who will hate on him by proxy.

[Kblaze8855]

TMAC and Jimmy Butler are not only disliked by some they have out right haters. Jimmy is making some of them a little quieter the last few years.

I must have missed that.

[SouBeachTalents]

Alex Trebek would be up there, I think he would qualify as a household name, at least in the US, and I never heard anyone utter a single bad thing about him.

I feel like for TMac that's just Kobe guys though right? Everyone else seems to be on the same page, at least from what I can tell. He'd be like if Kyrie wasn't a weirdo.

[ShawkFactory]

Nobody hates Shai at the moment. If he continues this and OKC becomes more formidable that may change.

[warriorfan]

I must have missed that.

I remember back when they were in college they talked about it during games at times. Adult men who are super into disney is just…idk, it’s weird

[L.Kizzle]

Joe Dumars was the only likable guy on the Bad Boy Pistons.
Clyde Drexler, David Robinson.

[1987_Lakers]

I know they are out there, but I don't see alot of Jokic haters.

[1987_Lakers]

Joe Dumars was the only likable guy on the Bad Boy Pistons.

And John Salley

[1987_Lakers]

What about Craig Sager? He was pretty well liked by players and fans although he left his wife for a Bulls dancer I think.

[L.Kizzle]

And John Salley
Was he, idk. He was part of the big guy front line. Maybe after he retired.
Off Topic: Why has he never gotten work on TNT or ESPN. I remember him on Fox Sports after he retired for a while but he needs to be on someone's NBA station.

got it. I thought you meant something literally gay. I get where you’re coming from on that one. My girlfriend is one of those Disney people, but it is more acceptable because as you alluded to it’s weirder for men. She’s already bugging the shit out of me about a Disney trip. she has planned stretching from Halloween to her birthday(a week past Halloween). I finally had to tell her to stop talking to me about it because she is making it more of a hassle than a vacation. I don’t wanna hear about that shit for months. I’ll just go when it’s time to go and try to enjoy myself. I’m not gonna make it my everything.

If he’s one of those “Make it my everything” types Id understand being annoyed. But it’s not like I have to deal with him.

Hakeem doesn't have many haters. I think he has like one on this entire board. Just about everybody likes him.

[imdaman99]

Steven Adams? Even on a team of unlikeable characters, aquaman gets his roses. Shannon Sharpe wanted no part of him when he was beefin with them :lol

[AlternativeAcc.]

A bit off topic but it's kinda weird how likable all the best athletes in each major sport are

Jokic

Mahomes

Ohtani


These dudes are about as likeable as you could be in that position.

Also crazy that all 3 of them could potentially become the GOAT of their sport if they all stay healthy.

Hersey Hawkins

Meanwhile, his wife & brother are pretty unlikable. :lol

[Full Court]

On the other side of this coin....

Nobody likes Montrezl Harrell or Markieff Morris. Nobody.

[90sgoat]

People used to like Scottie Pippen.

Sir Charles is pretty well liked except with some black nationalists.

Barkley had TONS of haters when he was playing. He was one of the most polarizing players of his era.
