Damn, people are getting serious about their anti-player hostility, huh? Is there any correlation between the figures and people's perception of who's overpaid or outspoken on the strike question?
The more popular that you are, the more likely it will be that people dislike you. This is nothing new. All but two players on that list made the All-Star team last year. One of those two won the 6th Man of the Year Award.
I strongly disagree. Dwight Howard isn't up there, Derek Rose ain't up there, Deshawn Williams, Amare, Either of the Gasols. Most of the guys on the list are douche bags especially Lebron. The only who shouldn't be there is Wade.
Bosh is on there too. Can't be coincidence. I just didn't say anything about bosh. Some How I doubt sports fans care about a divorce. Heck I forgot about it. I bet most are still angry about that long suspense on where lebron was going.
Well as some of you have been curious to the reasons that these guys made the list there was a little info on that for each player Lamar Odom: Dislike by association essentially, the main reason that he is on the list is that he is married to Khloe. Nothing else really. D-Wade: The surprise of the list, generally people like him as a player and a person but it is a case of dislike by association. In many people's eyes the miami big 3 are evil. Paul Pierce: He's essientally one of the most cocky and arrogant player in the NBA. Carmelo: The way he basically bullied his way out of Denver to New York rubbed people the wrong way, plus his reality show. Bosh: See D-Wade Metta World Peace: The name change plus people still have not forgotten the brawl in Detriot Tony Parker: Well how could he cheat on Eva Longoria and with a teammates wife supposedly. Kobe: He has an arrogant, smooth swagger, and of course he has the rings. Many are still holding onto the rape allegations that surfaced many years ago, thus still fueling their hate. Lebron: "The decision" Kris Humphries: You guessed it Kim kardashian
Well, then Kris Humpries shouldn't be on the list then. :smt102 You can get bad press for many reasons and turn public opinion against you.
Humpries is probably there because I don't think people like being led in the manner that kris and kim did. Lebron did misleading as well. Again doesn't explain bosh. It isn't a coincidence both members are on the same team as Lebron and on the list unless I am unaware of all three going through a divorce. Not only this but he is seen in a good light in the divorce from a public stance. If it was based off of the divorce, he wouldn't be on the list. I agree about bad press but it is more than likely Lebron. another fan sited the same thing as well about Lebron. Wait until TDK comes in. He'll say the same thing. Lebron! lol edit: I have to admit that I don't know much about kris and kim. I just placed kim into the same box I place brittany, paris, and all the other women that don't do anything but people love to support.
Christ, who gives a fuck? I hate Lebron and Wade because they'll find some way to choke in the playoffs again. Fuck the Heat.
